How about Mr/Ms codemonkey couldn't afford being unemployed ?
It hasn't been easy getting new jobs over the past few months, so I understand people holding on to whatever jobs they've got. Now with the economy on it's rise it might be a different story.
I find it wrong to judge people in this manner, the actual coders at SCO probably have NOTHING to do with the "crusade" against Linux.
From the article :
Valve's General Program Manager Gabe Newell gave the presentation at an analyst conference being held by ATI in Seattle. And while the circumstances may seem slightly suspect given the event and the Valve/ATI OEM deal, Newell was quick to dispel any such conflict of interest.
Believe it those who will, but I would certainly question the integrity of the test, and I won't buy an ATI card over nVidia over this just yet.
The TCPA is a comitee and is not something that belongs to Microsoft, although they are part of this comitee. IBM are also working on a TCPA technology. Palladium, or whatever it is called now, is perhaps the most "famous", but definately not the only one.
From the PDF: The exact relation between TCPA and the former Palladium is not clear; one suspects that at some point in the TCPA design process, Microsoft decided to withdraw and build their own variant.
This probably means the two technologies will not be compatible with eachother, files created under one will not be able to be opened under the other.
Q: You have been critical of efforts to better secure the U.S. and the world in the wake of September 11. What do you think are the biggest mistakes we've made in those efforts?
A: I think the biggest mistake is that we've made policy decisions while scared. We've passed laws that are expensive, both in terms of money and fundamental liberties, without giving us a corresponding increase in actual security. In other words, we've made bad security tradeoffs.
Hopefully some bright men in the EU parliament will consider the laws passed in the USA before they blindly try to copy them into laws applying in European countries..
That's a very good question. To most/.'ers, Microsoft loosing customers is a good thing. But it is far from certain that the 3 governments would like to share the code with the public even if they do choose to base it upon Linux or BSD. Another question I would like to ask is how the GPL handles this sort of situation. If a government creates an OS, will it profit from it ? It's not like they are going to sell it.
AFAIK Bluetooth struggles with security issues, so that could cause problems.
But apart from that, this appears to be just a really small version of a regular computer, meaning the security would be just as good as any other Linux/Wireless system. It's just smaller.
Actually the article says it's a Danish study...
So does this: pioneer writes "An article on MSNBC.com reports that a Danish study has found that computer use is not a significant risk factor for carpal tunnel syndrome. Not sure about you, but I spent a lot of time learning dvorak and kinesis to prevent just that... the 'inevitable' onslaught of RSI/carpal tunnel/etc."
From the EULA: "If Customer wishes to increase the number of Installed Servers, then
Customer will purchase from Red Hat additional Services for each
additional Installed Server."
Clearly, they are talking about the services, but I agree with the above posters, why post this as news if the letter itself is bogus ?
He also says:
Along these lines, simply installing GNU/Linux binds me to the following
"extensions" to the GPL
But.. I didn't think you could add elements to the GPL and still call it a GPL license.. ?
Naah, I guess we'll see both Beowulf, Natalie Portman, "Yes, but does it run Linux" and all the other qoutes we've come to know and love.
This is/. after all..
Most metal bands provide their lyrics on their homepages, as well as tablatures.
AFAIK, this is the only case on darklyrics, where the band has gotten the lyrics removed, even though most bands know about this site.
Not exactly.. We train with other NATO forces once every year, and it's not like they don't know what weapons we use.
Some things are kept more secret than other, but I would have no problem saying I used AG3 weapon and served in Recon if someone asked.
Heck, some Americans even got to testshoot our weapons, as we did theirs.
no. not ever, to the best of my knowledge, though it's possible that a background check might include your high school transcript, SAT scores, etc.
Ok, I get it, but if someone where to run a background check on this guy, would this SAT come up ? If so, it seems kinda stupid to do something like this, even if it is just to have fun...
Those test doesn't mean much though. Unless you fail everything on the intelligence part and end up in "Storm"(Norwegian Storm unit, Mechanized Infantry)
Actually, he claims to already have a masters degree:
On 2003 April 5th, a Saturday, at the age of 33, I threw away my dignity, mocked
my Ivy League education, disgraced my Master's degree, and proved, in just over
three hours, that humans can do things "The System" didn't anticipate. Things
didn't turn out exactly as planned, but it was a crazy experience!
I'm not American, so I'm not to familiar with SAT tests but do you send in your SAT when applying for a job when you've already got a Masters ?

Note to self, do not reply to replies unless body contains at least 5 cups of coffee ;)
I didn't say that well-paid developers tend to choose Linux, I said that this study took these things into consideration.
Quick, someone change it before SCO sees it..
This study takes into consideration more than just the price of the OS. Things like support, salary for developers etc.
This study is sponsored by Microsoft, so it's probably biased as hell, but a Linux system is never absolutely free for a corporation.

Having stuff inplanted in brain could be fun, and also, these : not so famous last words. Could become more widely used ;)

Obligatory Simpson quote :

Must've read that after they changed it, normally they add the update when it is updated, my bad.

The topic alone makes the next 100 posts redundant..
This article is about the mpa and not RIAA.
MPA might be an RIAA puppet of some kind, I don't know.
On my favorite lyrics site, Darklyrics.com, the Norwegian black metal band Gorgoroth demanded their lyrics removed from the site.
Most metal bands provide their lyrics on their homepages, as well as tablatures.
AFAIK, this is the only case on darklyrics, where the band has gotten the lyrics removed, even though most bands know about this site.
