spoof an Iranian I.P. address and convince babelfish to translate Farsi and I'm so there! Who'd imagine that GWB would pay to keep me safe from Ashcroft?
you should let him. There are a number of/.ers who have a sufficient fungus content (and a concurrent disappeal to the female of the species) that budding/sporing is really their only chance at procreation.
Threatening to sue other companies pumps up the stock price, allows Canopy to use the inflated stock price for asset shuffling (skimming big profits), allows senior management to sell shares at a big profit, builds up our press clippings book which is very impressive to PHBs.
Actually suing involves bothersome discovery procedures where you have to actually show some sort of cause for you action. Where's the fun in that?
In my day, we had to get at 2:00am, clean the road with our tongues, crawl to work on broken glass and when we got there, we had to work with 6 baud modems that were powered by rabid hamsters. And we were glad for them.
were they giving this guy when they took this photograph and where can I get some? I don't care how good Spider-Man on the Xbox is; it isn't that good. I doubt there is a game on the market on any platform that is that good.
Why is so hard for you to accept that they have no real case?
You presuppose that SCO is operating as a valid business with a goal of continuing good will and success. A company like that would have a valid case. But they would not be operating as SCO has.
On the other hand, a company which was operating solely to raise their stock price, to both cash out and also so that the parent company could use the raised price to pull off various shell games to siphon off more money, would act exactly as SCO has. And they wouldn't need a case.
Everything I've seen (not supposed, but actually seen) points to the second situation. Nothing I've seen even hints to the first.
And I hope for your sake that you can't imagine that people would set them selves up for this type of "abuse" just to make money. Because I'm sure that Darl and the other top people at SCO are weeping all the way to the bank.
Peg: Thank Microsoft, kids, for leaving it's operating systems so wide open that lots of virii writers will keep at it, eventually leading to safer versions that probably won't come in your lifetimes or the lifetimes of your children or your children's children.
illegally uploaded/downloaded music, her anonymity should be protected. The RIAA is trying to extort money from individuals and frighten the community. They are NOT attempting to prove cases in court. In most cases, they couldn't. But the threat of extensive expensive litigation against a well funded corporate entity is enough for most people to buckle and settle.
Haven't WE learned anything yet?

Learning robots lead to robot overlords. Just last week, I caught my Roomba changing my long distance service. And my Aibo takes my car for weekends; never tells me where he's going, never pays for gas.
Kellogg Brown and Root, the Halliburton subsidiary that has the contracts to provide food and water services to the armed forces in Iraq (with a non-bid costs + profit guaranteed contract) has not been providing sufficient water to our troops (see more about it here)
do a fine job looking out for other wealthy Republicans and millionaires (as is evidenced by the current state of the national economy, with an increasing concentration of wealth amongst those making over $300,000 a year and a vastly expanding sea of unemployed), they tend not to be overly concerned about the status of the other 98% of the population.
Homeland Security? Too expensive
Sufficient ground forces to fix things in Iraq? Too expensive
Tax "relief"? Just right.

how we used to be
I feel so much better now.
Muwahahahahahahahaha
the beauty they possess inside
That's the new way of doing things.
Disquieting, obviously. But what isn't?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
I am the new number 2.

This is a preview beta. What will the final product be released under?

After suffering a period of time where Camino wouldn't start at all, I set up to download the nightlies. Ever since, stability and joy.
Bud and Kelly: Thanks Microsoft.
We. We are out to get them.
I'll bet Darl drives a big flashy car as well. Vroom, vroom.
Of course, sadly, there probably are a number of PHBs and "industry analysts" who ARE impressed by the size of the clippings book.

next they'll be raising the Battelship Yamato and making it into a spaceship. I've seen this show before.
look like my default OS X background picture. I wonder how THAT could have happened?
We thank you for your support.

Enough water for the troops? Too expensive
Woof.
Homeland Security? Too expensive
