This is a great way to get in lots of trouble. In the US, by law, you better be able to show an association between the requirements between what a you put on a job posting, and how it is necessary for work. Taking your example above, needing to be Fluent in Sanskrit. If I apply to that job I could go the EEOC and say that the requirements are BS and I am qualified and should have been hired.
Think of it another way, if I said (for an IT job), "blacks need not apply." Being black would have nothing to do with IT work, I would have my ass-served in a hand-basket to the EEOC. The company that let me post that would be in big trouble and I would likely to be out of a job.
To take another recent example, jobs that are requiring an SAT score. These companies said that having a high-SAT score related in could job performance. If they said that, they better be able to prove it (which I doubt). SAT scores are used to determine the grades of freshman going to college, not a mark to determine your job skills. You complain that you did not get a job because of your SAT scores that you took 10 years ago, you can get money out of those companies.
Just because a company says it true, does not make it true. They have an obligation to society to serve its interests as well as their own.
If this is not a PR ploy, I don't know what is. They have yet to establish a relationship between their code and IBM. Linus, and STALLMAN!, don't have any relationship with IBM or their coding agreements, nor do they verify that the code that they get is part of trade secrets. That was not their job. Far be it for SCO to make a rational justification.
"1) Mutual Fund managers" is claiming the whole profession is guilty of fraud, may be an overreaction because of current events, but fraud is certainly a way to be paid more than your fair market value.
I would like time to counter this point of view but I am currently cashing out the rest of the OH Pension Fund and have to catch a flight to the Virgin Islands.
Well now we have the first Jedi, in SWG, they are supposed to be UBER-character in the game right?
*BBBZZZZTTT*
The first jedi has turned into a freak show, everyone wants watch and follow them around. Look at this! Would you want to be a Jedi with this mob around you? No wonder all the Jedi are hermits hiding in the farthest reaches from everyone. Or maybe she will go to the dark side and start killing everyone. At least we know why they become so EVIL!
It is still not worse than the Slashdot dupe post checker. You might have only 20 stories a day. Imagine all the dupe posts that are listed for each story!
What is 'great'? How do you define 'great'? If you are talking about a movie with over the top special effects, very loud background music and very little dialog that would cause your brain to hemorage then 'The Matrix: Revolutions' is great!
Like Windows Profiles? That would seem to an obvious prior art claim. You might be able to claim XTerm settings are transferable from client to client and stored on a central server. This just to freakin obvious.
I am going to file the "Get a Clue" Patent, and then license back to the USPTO for fortune because it then need it badly.
Where did this number of $21-$36 billion dollars of worth come from? Alot of tech companies are drastically overvalued because someone is out there trying to hit the jackpot game and make a bundle. However there is no basis for this valuation of Google. For a regular company to have this sort of valuation it would need to be earning $250 MILLION a QUARTER! This would result in a, at best, mediocre company earning 5% a year.
A am not saying that they should not go and run for the dough, but anyone who convinces themselves that this is the next big thing and drastically overpays will at best break even if they are lucky more likely they will just lose their money.
Your code is protected as long as you are willing to protect it. Too often people seem to think that they will NEED a lawyer to do a lawsuit. If this guy had just followed up in court, there was a darn good chance that he could have gotten a settlement.
The legal process may seem complicated but when it comes down to it, a judge will listen to a regular Joe just as intently as he would a lawyer. If you are too intimidated to go in front of a judge, you have already lost. Don't let some lame-ass attorney tell you have to purchase justice, do it yourself. The result can be very liberating.
I rarely play demos, they tend to be too large, which does not feed my fix of playing now, and they are too limited, which does not give me a good idea of the scope of the game.
The thing I look for when deciding to purchase a game is a review, usually on Gamespot. I can get a general comparision of what the game is about from the article, but I generally use the reader's score over Gamespots score which gives me a better idea of the quality of the game. The problem most indy games don't get reviewed on something on Gamespot, and I lack the willingness to look too hard for Indy games, which is partially my fault. I just don't have the time to comb over looking for computers.
Does not mean I don't wish the best luck to them. And if they are somewhere I can find it, I would be more than happy to look.
"Classified" is not a specific designation, yet "Secret" and "Top Secret" are, I mixed the terms a bit. Here is a link giving a definition of document classifications
learned that students are in part responsible for the high prices. Textbook publishers try to recoup their costs (advances, manufacturing, marketing, etc) in the first year since there is a severe dropoff in sales for later years even when the text is still in use
It is called a self-forfilling prophecy, make a prediction, create the conditions for it to come true and voila! self-forfilling prophecy. If they made the books cheaper people would not bother making such an effort to buy used books. In addition, the material does not get dated, but somehow there are always "new editions" re-presenting the same old material in a new way, like that somehow justifies a new book, so you have to purchase a "new book".
You may believe that fifty-year-old secrets are "ridiculous", but you can't justify that belief without knowing exactly what the secret is.
Current classified materials,
There are aliens on Mars waiting till we have reach enlightenment before contact
George Bush is andriod
Linus Torvalds is not american

Classified materials are barely protected, most of them are just plan everyday stuff but they are not really important, basically any paperwork done by the Pentagon can be "Classified". Now if you are talking about "Secret" or "Top Secret" that is the stuff that keep in vaults and you need a clearance to even know some of that stuff exists. Don't confuse "Classified"(maybe, it has value), with "Secret"(important and has(d) value).
I just wanted to second this opinion, I did alot of research before I decided to try it, and the official forums were bland at best. Reading through them also did not give much insite.
I also stopped playing it because it was to much like work to get anything done, it basically took to long to get anywhere and it drove me crazy, besides hurting my hand too
The lack of any place interesting to go puts a real damper on the whole thing
Of course this is just the supply attempting to meet the demand for people who are deseperate need of thicker penises, more viciodin, and larger breasts. Why else would they continue to notify use of these offers? They are just doing the world a needed service I tell you!
It is nice to know that corporations are skipping that whole government bit, you know laws, judges, rights that sort of thing, and just determining the laws themselves.
That being said, the web site is maybe a little ambigious, but I am sure that has never stopped the MS marketing and advertising department in the past.
Those who print fiction for press releases should not be issuing judical decisions on others for doing the same, or something like that.

I am waiting for the first declaration from him declaring himself "The One" and taking the nickname Neo.
The scary part will be when he starts calling the computer, Agent Smith.

[/RANT OFF]I think you miss the point, it was a talking elephant!
The Road-Toll Association lambasted the Federal government for building public roads. "If public roads are free anyone can use them!"
I think that should be "I for one, welcome our new ToasterLords!"
It is nice to know that corporations are skipping that whole government bit, you know laws, judges, rights that sort of thing, and just determining the laws themselves.
