We view IBM's counterclaim filing today as an effort to distract attention from its flawed Linux business model.
I can say, and I am responsible for what I am saying, that the IBM lawyers have
started to commit suicide under the walls of SCO. We
will encourage them to commit more suicides quickly.
While it does leave room for a sequl, you should also remember that this terminator killed John Conner in the future, so, from John's perspective, they will meet again.
I've heard of some 'Enhanced CDs' having copy protection, others do not. Some 'Enhanced CDs' are just normal music cds with a data track added (which normal cd players can't see), so that when used in a PC, something on the cd will autorun and have 'special offers' and the occasinal music video, etc.
The local high school library where I live, which is in extreme southern Indiana, is almost the exact opposite. Many of the students (well, most of the male ones anyway) grew up with guns, and often went hunting with their fathers, etc. When you walk into the library, to your left is a magazine rack, with several gun magazines.
One bad experiance they have had was with a lockout/filter program called Childlock (they were testing it to replace Fortres). On one instance, the Junior English class had a very hard time trying to do a research paper on Huck Finn, because many sites list chapters in Roman numerals. Huck Finn has over 30 chapters, and 30 is XXX. When childlock saw 3 'x's in a row, it immediately closed the browser window, and an annoying animated character, usually either a parrot (which I believe was ripped off MS Chat, or somesuch), or a genie would do some long and annoying animation, say 'You are not allowed to do that!', do some other long annoying animation, and dissapear.
Now, while Childlock was busy defending teenagers from the evils of Huck Finn, on the other side of the room, where the teacher couldn't see the computers, several students were looking up porn. Childlock did nothing to stop them.
Needless to say, that school no longer uses Childlock.
I remember TechTV doing a survey of diffrent companies tech support. One of these companies (might have been Toshiba, not sure), when asked how to stop a Explorer window showing C:\ from opening every time windows started, (they had placed a link to C:\ in the 'startup' folder in the start menu), that the only way to fix the problem was to format and reinstall windows.
To quote Valve in the recent PC Gamer article on Half-Life 2 (well, its close to a quote, i'm going from memory): (The reason they kept so secret about HL2) "We prefer to develop a game, and then market it, not the other way around, unlike some game studios we could name."
Hmm, my Econ class also had a little deification of Sam Walton (and Milton Hersey, etc.), and one little section of the book that still persists in my mind is the page describing your standard every day yard sale as being run by 'tax evading criminals' who should be severly punished....
USB keyboard support during bootup is generally a BIOS feature (Even the AWARD BIOS on my old Celeron 333 had USB keyboard support). So, if you havn't readly, look around in the BIOS, that might solve your GRUB problems.
I can't seem to remember which game it was, but I remember looking at the EULA from a Microsoft game that said you may only use this product on a licensed copy of Microsoft Windows.
I can think if a few things that would be illegal, after skimming over the law. You wouldn't, by any chance, have multiple computers sharing the same connection with a router/firewall, would you? Thats illegal. I'd venture to say that a very high percentage of businesses do something similar, with one or two high speed lines hooked up to a router, and the rest of their computers on a network, sharing them. To the outside world, all traffic going through the routher appears to be coming from a single IP, and, according to the law, you can't do that.
I've tried playing Quake style games with a controller, I go back to the Keyboard+Mouse combo every time. I hated using the N64 controller in Goldeneye, and the one time I played Halo, it felt very awkward. A keyboard's wide selection of keys allows me to get things done faster, and being able to move the mouse just where I wan't it, instead of coaxing a joystick to move where I want it to, improves aim.

Hrmm, I would prefer to see Beowulf beating the shit out of McBride, Grendel style...

If your kids go out and kill people when your not watching them, the problem might be in the mirror.
666: Demonic invasion - Quake Guy needed.
Hah, I wish. Believe it or not, there are still many areas, including mine, where you cannot get anything more than 56k dialup.
Dance Dance Revolution, you probobly know what it is, if not, Google for it.
He was talking about Mozilla.
"the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." You forgot about the second part.
umm...the parent was talking about the fact that they DO pay taxes, so what was your point again?
Probobly because 'Worser' is a word. An old word that nobody uses anymore, but its a word.
Oh, and about the grammar thing...as they say, "People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones."

"I can't imagine little me finding a bug in code made by You, oh Master of Code"-style
:)
That style reeks of sarcasm, even if it wasn't intended that way. I would have, and I'm sure that he, if he saw it, did, taken it as an insult.

He is not replying to the article, he is replying to another post, which you probobly didn't see, as it's currently at -1, Troll.
Aargh...quoting the article: "Embedded in the module is an embedded eCos embedded Linux kernel..."

One thing you can try is going to Control Panel - Fonts, that usualy picks up new fonts, at least IIRC.
You say that like you expect MS to cover your losses when the next Slammer (this time with a destructive payload) or Code Red worm hits. They won't.
