Having just read that piece I found myself totally absorbed by the technical description and blow by blow events of the last minutes of the shuttle.
However, the final paragraphs describing the last minutes of the crew is quite touching. One can't imagine the horror of the last moments of the crew. Mercifully though, it seems that the end was swift.
My old boss would always spout that one out whenever anyone compained about the smell.
We were, after all, a fish processing plant and towards the afternoon, on a hot summers day, all the fish gore that had been trimmed of could *really* put a dampener on your day.
And just for that little extra fun, the computer room was next to the main processing area as it was a refrigerated building and "we have to keep the systems cool !".
It was a treat going home, frozen and still having the aroma or rotting fish embedded in your clothes.
You have got to wonder about a company that is fighting the legal battle of it's life and the directors are not accessable to supply court ordered information.
I think Darl has been listening to our dear ex-Prime Minister, Jean Chretien. He was asken about what proof Canada would require before comminting troops to the invasion of Iraq.
His gem of an answer.
"I don't know, a proof is a proof. What kind of a proof is a proof? A proof is a proof and when you have a good proof it's because it's proven."
Not sure if testicular cancer is in the same vein, but you made me remember a Slashdot submission linking to a study that indicated males maturbating (or having sex) at least 5 times a week were 33% less likely to develop prostate cancer.
Or maybe it was 66%. I forget.
No, it was frequent masterbating caused memory loss in 66% of men:)
Your inability to make your Linux business a success, while unfortunate for you, parallels your company's failure to make your UNIX business a success. Perhaps the problem isn't Linux, the GPL, or the open source business model.

So, this is code that originally came to Linux from Silocon Graphics via IBM. This is the derivative code that SCO claims infringes the UNIX license.
This is just SCO staking claim to other peoples work - The Bastards
I bought the albums of my favorite bands, then cassetts came out and I dutifully bought them as well. When CD's came out, befor the age of burners, I also purchased them. Why should I be forced to re-purchase the same albums time and time again with each new media that's released. Wouldn't the record industry be better off selling a license for songs then allowing the consumer to decide upon the format and on what device they want to listen to the music ? That way, I could make mixed cd's or have all my songs in MP format or store those same songs on my new, yet to be invented device ? It does annoy me that in the near future, if they have thier way, I will have to again re-purchase albums that I already have just to listen to it on another device.

My enemy's enemy is my friend.

Of course it's a hoax.
"Andrew Carlssin" is an anagram for " I AM BILL GATES "
