Even a six month analysis of the stock price shows steady growth from about ten dollars to seventeen
Actually, the stock has vacillated between $13 and $18 since June, peaking with each new press release from SCO, dropping with press releases from IBM and RedHat, and otherwise moving relative to the rest of the tech stocks.
If the judge finds that IMB's contibutes to linux are "derivative works", all bets are off. Granted, it would take a broad interpretation for that conclusion to come to pass and would greatly depend upon how skillfully that argument is presented.
Given the apparent (lack of) skill level in some of the legal language in and among the crap being spewed by SCO, I'd SWAG odds at 5:1 against that being sucessfully done. The killer point about this is that it's all out of our hands.
I was pushed out by a 3rd party vendor, who labeled me the major security risk, after performing a 'vulnerability assessment.'
False statements that negatively effect your employment are actionable in most states. Unless they have documented, specific, realistic vulnerabilities, I'd go right to my attorney and file a multi-million dollar libel suit against both the 3rd party vendor and your former employer.

Too many people are ignoring the fact that Dean is running what amounts to a local candidacy in New Hampshire, because the majority of the supporters in his home state of Vermont are less than a day's drive away. This has helped him achieve a huge lead in the opinion polls over any of his rivals, including Kerry who just doesn't get it.
This leads to the classic media frenzy in that because Dean is popular, the media gives him tons of defacto coverage, which in turn feeds teh frenzy. Come March the line-up will be different, I think. Much depends on whether or not Kerry will ever get it, or how soon Lieberman runs out of money.

It's not just add-on charges either. Much of the Internet, those 300 bazillion cable channels, radio, magazines, newspapers, sporting events, and other things are all funded by advertising.
How many markets are over-advertised, and how has this dragged-down the economy, both nationally and globally? There's nobel prize in the answer for that for someone I think.
I went in the next time and not so calmly explained to her that she will not do that again without a) telling me what she is going to later charge, b) lying about what she was really doing, and c) being a cheat.
You should also point out to her that when she became a doctor, she promised to obligate herself to a higher ethical standard of conduct than what she displayed. And that there are state and federal laws regarding insurance fraud to which she is also accountable.
What she did is absolutely unconscienable, and were I you, I'd be getting a new physician. And writing a letter of complaint to my insurance company explaining exactly why, with a cc to your state's dept. of insurance.
Won't the current pantent laws, as they apply in most Western countries, take care of this?
No. In fact, patent law will support this. If you create something Biotech and patent that something and/or the method used to create it, you have effectively prohibited anyone else from patenting the same thing. If you chose to release the method as Open Source, you have guaranteed that it will be freely available, because no one else can charge a royalty for it, because you own the patent.

Depending on how broadly the no-compete clause was written, if it covers linux, there's a chance the same would apply to NetWare as well, cause NetWare isn't Unix either.
On the other hand, hasn't SCO changed their core products to litigation and (trying) to sell licenses for other company's software?
Sure, mod me down. Funny how off-topic atempts at humor are ok, but observations on how well slashdot works or doesn't are not. Particularly when my observations are directly relavant to the post to which I was replying.
You have to send the thing in before noon, EST. Chances of a reject are near 100% if you submit after that. Polls are even more brutal. The same silly on-line dating poll has been running how many days now? Yet if you send in a new poll submission this afternoon, I'd bet big bucks it'll get rejected.
(Just my observation; it's worth what you paid for it.)
The parent comment is full of misinformation. If the presentation he refers to was at PDC, then I was there too.
No, different presentation. "Integration" and "going away" were direct quotes from the MS techie; my apologies if these are overstatements with regard to the technical realities.

Searching on google shows hits that FrontPage 2000 wouldn't play well with it. I was unable to determine whether that was by accident or design.
Saw a presentation yesterday by an MS techie wherein he explained that SQL-server,.Net, and IE are all being "integrated" into the OS (Oh, and the registry is going away. Former registry content will now be distributed across directories into a new file type). Now a Flash-a-like product as well.
Nice to know that MS is paying strict attention to the anti-trust settlement conditions.
Get your senators and representatives involved. File a Freedom of Information Act request to obtain the criteria they used to disqualify each team that didn't make the cut. As soon as it is apparent that the cuts were arbitrary once a certain number of applicants were accepted, you'll have a factual basis from which to pursue stronger action, like requesting the DOJ or even the GAO to investigate whether DARPA is following the letter of the law.
The inner package holds the contraband; the outer package contains something to completly absorb and/or redirect the T-waves, and to broadcast a predetermined T-wave form designed to make the contents of the package innocuous looking to even the most paranoid security guard.
The real question is would this be a DMCA violation?
Even if these numbers are too large, this still makes you think about how inefficient our cars are.
Yes, I agree that today's internal combustion engines are ineffienct. However, this is a classic apples-to-oranges comparision gone bad. The prehistoric plant matter in question went through a whole heck of a lot in its journey to becoming crude oil. As another poster already pointed out, a non-trivial part of that transformation was loss of most of the water in the plants, and hence much of their volume. That means his figures for the weight are already suspect.
It would be much more proper to first examine the plants-to-petrol transformation process, and comment on how efficient that process is first, then the petrol-to-MPG process.
This is simply more cargo cult science, and we can and should do better, IMO.
Sure, until some parent whose visitation rights with their kids are being less than strictly observered and that parent decides to pick-up their kid from school, and then the other parent reports it as an "abduction". Not that we don't have this sort of crap happening now, and limitations of the RFID tags notwith standing, we don't need to automate every redherring-type of event like this.
It's about who is responsible. A huge aspect of control is responsibility. If the state removes the responsibility of their kids' attendance from parents, the state has effectively taken control of those kids outside of school, albeit for a limited time period. As the state slowly whittles away parent's responsibility over their kids, by consequence, the state gains more authority over them. After a generation or two of this control, a (presumably) benevolent Orwellian-style society won't be viewed as anything out of the ordinary.

Here are the comments from an older version of the same file, specifically 91/06/06. I wonder why they've dropped Microsoft from the copyrights list?
It appears that SCO may have dropped the MS copyrights all the way back in '97:

Whether this was done in accordance with the agreement reached at that time would be an interesting bit o' research.
