This is just pointing to the real story. Microsoft is trying to undermine Linux, so they gave SCO gobs of money to turn themselves into a pawn by way of a third party investment firm.
Now the question remains: just who of these two latter parties is going down?
Think of it. If it has something to do with sex, there is probably something that was innovative at one point or another and was first used for a given purpose. Polymers and sex toys, multi-angled video filming and pornographic DVDs, you get the idea.
Remember that the 10.0 community is subject to updates. Go down past the FTP mirror list and read the blurb just above the straight directory trees. So what you see here is not necessarily what ou are going to get when 10.0 public comes out.
Speakeasy offers it (I pay around $60/mo for 2 static, n email addresses, 1.5/256, and them acting as NS2 for up to five domains as well as a shell account and a roving dialup), but you're best behooved to get a good SDSL or a fractional T1 for the purpose. ADSL has two snags - upload at a fraction of your download speed (anywhere from 25-50% of it), and the detail that when your upload speed is capped, your download speed is reduced to something a little slower than a TDD.
At the risk of sounding like "I told you so", I for one have been saying this for years. With Microsoft being one to put things off in favor of press releases, it seems like Linux - or for that matter, anything in the open source community - tends to not waste time in getting anything like (say) security updates. Meanwhile, Gates sits on his laurels....
No, really. I'm serious as a heart attack. Someone above mentioned Dungeons and Dragons; as such, in general, a fandom group would do well for your apt pupil, be it Trek, scifi in general, furry fandom, or even a chess club.
And if he has Aspergers, especially furry fandom. No, I'm serious, and it's not because of prior comments about how some people think your pupil needs to get laid - I know at least half a dozen Aspies who are furry fans, and they feel like they fit in a little better with it. This thread on alt.lifestyle.furry is what prompted me to mention this.
Well, the fact remains, he started making bogus allegations about a particular social group.
Now I'm not one to make threats (instead, I just tell him to put up or shut up), but in any social group, there will be those who will feel the need to take extreme measures against a threat, be it real or perceived.

This is not something to remove ones' right to sue, this is a resource for doctors to do risk management. If they find somebody in there who sued because they merely didn't like the doctor's mustache or something, they can make a judgement call; but OTOH, if the plaintiff sued because the doctor stopped amidst (say) an open heart surgery to make his tee time, well, that is just the doctor being stupid, and he deserves to lose.
Recent legislation in California has it that the Franchise Tax Board is now collecting a "use tax" on the 540 (this is the CA equivalent of the 1040) for the Board of Equalization (they who administrate sales tax). The idea is that they are basically collecting sales tqax on items purchased out of state.
Mind you, they won't go after people who purchased t-shirts or books, they're pretty much looking for people who purchased (say) boats or cars from out of state.
This is almost true. The bug though is when you are running off of a subdomain, like demon.co.uk - and you get such a message from the "http://www.co.uk" team.
I mean, one of the laws of energy states that it cannot be created nor destroyed, only converted, and the same *generally* goes for matter (lacking antimatter). Yes, black holes can theoretically alter reality, but if they are effectively hypercompressed neutron stars, the alteration is that you get one hell of a monstrous compression algorithim.
So for the quantum astronomy and astrophysics geeks, am I missing something?
I got one email from them. A friend sent me one, it was a 2 MB.wav file over a dialup. Lovely. And they wouldn't accept a response by MP3.
Things I miss are the sites where you could get free webspace to do whatever with, and not have to fart around with banner ads, popups, etc. Granted that's moot since I have a friend who hosts one of my sites.
It's only a matter of time before conspiracy theories pop up on this, or at least include this in their current theories. Or rather, pull the I-told-you-so card.

In short, this is a final beta.

Granted, that (shill) Speakeasy (/shill) offers it....

Well said, Doctor, well said.

I say yeah, charge him with extortion. That's just utterly bogus.
Can CA sue SCO for Libel?
I'm not exactly the squeamish type, but that kinda made me a bit queasy. Please be warned - this appears to be an odd fusion of three frogs.

It is therefore a "Shut up and put up" demand.
This isn't "put up or shut up", Joe, this is "shut up and put up".
You know, I do need road flares....
As of right now, SCOX is down $1.55. They are slowly going down the drain, and this has been a trend for...what, 2 weeks now?
I was about to ask what's so hard about selecting a candidate record, add one, and continue, but you have a point here.

For what it's worth, I like bash and am learning perl, but many prefer python as well.
Now imagine a beowulf cluster of those.
