I just reread what I wrote a few minutes ago, and it reads. ..uh. . a bit harsh. I was out of line. I apologize for being a dick head and not thinking before clicking submit.
Canopy holds around a 35% stake in SCO. Ralph Yarro*, CEO and president of Canopy, has another 36%. There are only 15 million shares outstanding, so this is a very thinly traded stock, making it much easier to manipulate.
Something stinks in Lindon, Utah.
*If you're not sure who Ralph J Yarro III is, he played Dan Akroyd's boss in Trading Places.
Good review of the history, for those who haven't been playing at home.
One minor point you got wrong: It's trademarks not copyrights that must be vigorously enforced so as not to lose them. The RIAA is not concerned about the artists or the music companies losing copyright (at least not since the Bono Copyright Extension Act), they're worried about loss of sales due to unauthorized copying.
And your analysis is right. All SCO is attempting is more delay. They're hanging on by their fingernails, and a delay for an hour, a day, or a week is survivial for an hour, a day, or a week, which is more time for insiders to cash out.
I'm not absolutely sure, but I think that was the whole point of the "misunderestimate" post. Duhbya intentional poses as a not too bright "regular guy" with whom ordinary people can identify and trust. How could a dumb guy be capable of such deviousness? No, the war in Iraq, the handling of the economy, the response to terrorism, etc. were just honest mistakes.
In this way, we misunderestimate the president and his administration.
Nothing to stop you from developing your own device that meets all your needs or possibly developing software that satisfies your needs with the hardware. If you don't have the skills, hire someone.
Your questions are valid and questions like these lead to innovation and possibley lots of money. However, they do sound a bit like complaining.
I'd expect Apple has plans to do something neat to tie in this wireless-music-broadcast idea to an upcoming generation of the iPod. (broadcasting to your stereo from the iPod in your pocket might be kind of neat, right?)
I'm pretty sure this is NOT what you had in mind, but you can already do this with you iPod and a Griffin iTrip. I'm sure you mean something "digital", and obviously this is analog.
I think you've got employer and client mixed up. There's a pretty big difference.
As for your attitude, I suggest that you not hire a photographer, should you ever get married. Instead, rent the equipment and have your cousin Arnold or whoever do it. Or a highschool student taking photojournalism. Pay 'em $50 to take pictures of that once in a lifetime event. You'll be doing the local professionals a favor.
If you want an employee, hire an employee. I'm sure there are photographers that would be happy to have you put them on staff. Just don't be mad if they file for unemployment after the wedding.
If I was shooting a wedding and the client wanted the copyrights, I'd charge double and the client would be lucky. If the client was you, well. ..you wouldn't ever be my client. I think I'd always be booked. I'm really not interested in C list clients.
Haven't done much contracting yourself, outside of your given field, have you?
A contracting job is based on, suprise!, a contract. Who owns what, who gets paid what, and many other things are specified or can be specified in the contract.
Just because the boiler plate contracts in your industry customarily assign copyrights to one party doesn't mean the same occurs in all fields.
Theoretically, if you were good enough, you could negotiate a contract in which you retained or shared in the rights.

I'm not quite understanding your logic. Care to elaborate?
Just a case of you lose. 'Tard.
Thanks for explaining it all to the rest of us. We'd all still be lost on Usenet if it weren't for heavy movers such as yourself who know everything.

You forgot the creative commons license again!
Don't forget that Fortune has been vehemently anti-linux.

With the criminally insane robots? or with the guards? Makes a big difference.

Hmmmm, guacamole that smells like stale sweat, cigarette butts, garlic, and over ripe cheese. Uhhhh, no thanks.
