My first question is:
Where are the people who have signed the NDA and looked at the evidence? SCO has mentioned numerous times that they would allow anyone to come and look at the evidence as long as they signed a NDA. OK fine. Why are the Linux community bigwigs not going yesterday to check this out and simply say, "Yep, they have a clear-cut case/no case/whatever"? Surely, that wouldn't violate said NDA correct? I propose a/. pool to purchase a plane ticket for CmdrTaco.
You know, I've never been in a theater where someone was talking on their cellphone. I'm starting to wonder if this situation is just an urban myth... by the way, I'm posting this from a tub full of ice.

Well, with the ever-improving "digital-paper" technology, this may not be an issue very soon. When that day comes we had better beware because the e-book company is going to get slammed by a similar debacle that the music industry finds itself in. Hell, the e-book industry is already getting harrassed. Imagine how bad this will be when paper-quality book readers become mainstream.
Ahh yes, but then the book companies can complain about the used book market stealing money from their pockets. I wonder when the selling of used books will become illegal.
I've owned both the Visor Deluxe and the Visor Prism. Although I consider them to be great PDAs, I am really looking for something with similar capabilities in half the size. However, if size isn't a problem (they aren't big really, I'm just picky) then I highly recommend snagging one. I dropped my Prism right out of the box onto the hardwood floor and never experienced a problem in the 6 months that I owned it.

Hey! I remember you.
That sounds like an incredibly large program! The showDetails() funtion alone would be enormous:
...
if( IsLookingInMicroscope )
showMolecules();
else if( IsLookingBehind )
showStuffInBack();
else if( IsLookingInMirror )
if( IsNerd )
showPastyWhiteChubbyPerson();

And when you buy this X-Box in hopes to bring M$ down, I hope that you place in in a closet and never buy any games for it.
Yawn. Jeff Foxworthy can come up with 1000s of RedNeck jokes, but the Slashdot users seem to be stuck on the same tired retreads. Yawn.
You can find Beige Apple G3s on Ebay for right around $200.00 and drop and extra $100 for OSX. Sure it may be a bit slow, but you'd have OSX alright.

Listening to it as I post this... thanks!
