The US Supreme Court has already ruled (I can't find the link at the moment, try "supreme court wordperfect" or something similar) that it is legal for you to buy one (1) copy of (say) MS-Office, and install it on all 3,000 workstations at your company.
The trick here is that since you only have one (1) license, only one (1) copy of the software can be active at any time.
A similar thing already exists in the physical world, it's called "loaning a book to a friend".
You don't have to be directly affected. You could complain that you think they're just puming up the stock so they can sell out before the company crashes, similar to Enron. The fact that you don't own any SCO stock doesn't matter.
Neither of which are useful for someone looking to find a church for sunday morning.
Shouldn't you be using something like "baptist church city state"? Or are you really afraid that you're going to have to fly to northern greenland on short notice?
So anybody who has "sensitive" information that might be recorded if they have to do mail, reports, or other work, can just play minesweeper for the entire flight.
Well, most larger companies hire their own laywers, they might as well keep them busy...
Seriously, I think this is (mostly) another example of the marketing department doing the design work, and not understanding the technology. Then, when they find out that people can bypass their ads, they talk to the programmers.
The programmers tell them that this is the way the protocol is supposed to work, so there's no real way around it without recoding everything to use cookies, registration, headers, and other stuff, which will make the marketing department look bad for not giving good requirements in the first place.
It will make the marketing department look even worse if the programmers said it should be done with cookies, headers, etc and the marketing department did the "we don't have time" routine.
So, drag them to court first.
Note: You can substitute any department/person for "marketing" here, I'm just using them as an example from personal experience.
Human memory is associative. There have been several studies done (check google, I don't feel like/.'ing somebody today) that show students who study while sleep deprived do better on the tests when they're sleep deprived. Likewise, the "thrash and speed metal" is probably easier to remember then all the options to a JES2 INDD statement, but if you can associate the two of them, you'll be able to remember the JES stuff through the song.
(although if that were the only reason, the samples would be automatically destroyed at the end of the servicemember's contract.)
Not particularly. If I learned how to fly planes, and a body that looks like mine suddenly shows up in North Korea, it might be nice to have a positive identification.
Likewise, if I learned how to blow up buildings, assassinate people, build nukes, or a whole host of other things (including how to use a fully-automatic weapon), it might be nice to get a positive ID before you start throwing people in jail.
1: Use a high-quality cross-cut shredder.
2: Use as fire starter for barbecues and fireplaces, mulch for plants, to soak up oil when working on car, etc.

You mean like an RFID tag in your wallet that makes your watch beep?
Even after they knew there was "infringing code", SCO continued to distribute it.
Is it implemented in software?
If so, no patent.
If it implemented in software and hardware?
If so, no patent on the software portion.
Is it implemented entirely in hardware?
Build a working model of it, and submit it. You might get a patent.
They make full-screen monitor magnifiers for people with vision problems. Take a look here for starters.

You should have said where you were being sent. There's probably a /.er living there or close by.
For the rest of it, if you're religious, find the closet church and go the first sunday you're there. They'll love you.
Other then that, figure out what interests you, and try googling for "interest and city and state" or something.

How about if you start by going to the US Patent Office, and doing a search for something like "NUMA and IBM", or "RCU and IBM"?
An old quote, I don't remember where it's from:
I think the important thing is that they are arguing.
To quote the parent:

SUSE Professional edition 8.1 (and I would think later) can do the disk resizing for you during the install process.
(I don't work for SUSE, I just use their products)
Every time one of these lawsuits is filed, there's another chance for a judge to say, "this is stupid, goodbye patent".
Even worse is the instructions, "write down what you see, then take the first and last letter..."
The dumpster divers will have a field day.
Two other thoughts:
swordfish told them to use .net, asp, etc for whatever reason, and is now discovering the error of his ways.
swordfish got into a contract where he was told "use .net and make it work or you won't get paid, or get the bonus, or whatever."
Interesting how they all live at different addresses...

The Internet Oracle always provides the best answer(s) to your questions.
There's probably less *n** people with pieces of paper, but I doubt there's actually that many less competent people.
You see, first we make sure "...degree or equivelant experience" is on all job postings, "show me the paper".
Actually, I would say just one word:
ActiveX
It's the only thing I know of that's specifically windows, windows, and only windows.
It makes a good sound bite.
Because I still have friends running 6.0, 7.0, and I switched to 8.0 about nine months ago.
Far too many people have been bitten by the "AOL Upgrade Bug" to go running out buying more memory, whatever, just so they can upgrade now! Now! Now!
If this is a 9.0ism, I don't think you'll see anybody using it successfully until 2004 or 2005.
