Just more pigs at the trough. Someone has to pay the bill and that will be the rest of us. Better to provide a useful product or service than suck down government money.
The indemnification issue is not about indemnification itself. It's a smart, tactical play to encourage corporate Linux users not to cave and buy "licenses" from SCO.
This move deprives SCO of its *only* positive cashflow.
I've worn them for years and they are the only thing that works. The soles wear out in about 2 years so when your feet start hurting again, get new ones. I usually buy 2 pairs at a time as they can be hard to find.
You can't beat Masonite for a good light work benchtop. If you were doing heavy metal, I'd suggest something else, but for electronics and wood, Masonite is best.
For the height, first pick your chair. I like roll-around stools so I need a high bench height. Pick your chair, sit in it, measure from the floor to about 2-3 inches above your lap. Thats the bottom height. If you're doing electronics and need to use a microscope (don't laugh, I do), you'll have to take that into consideration.
As to the depth, what's the deepest piece of test equipment that you'll be using? Figure that plus however much bench space in front of it you need.
2 feet for test equipment should be fine unless you have old Tek 7000 series scopes then you need about 2.5 feet.
I've always wanted to use the pre-fabbed masonite countertops that you see at Home Despot and such. If you could find one deep enough, I think it would work well.
I got sick of cheap laserprinters and inkjets scattered around the house so I bought a used Laserjet 4000 on ebay and added 64meg of ram and a duplexer.
I'm building a custom cart that will fit in the laundry room next to the dryer. I'll be pulling the old CAT5 tomorrow and mounting a printserver box next to it.
No more putting off big print jobs til I can take them in to work.

An OBD-II scan pod. It connects to the On Board Diagnostics jack in your car and lets you display trouble codes, engine sensor readings and graphs of things like mass air flow, spark advance, coolant temp and rpm.

What kind of self-respecting hacker would own a late-model GM vehicle with Onstar anyway? Most of the serious bit-pushers that I know are driving 12 year old Subarus, Volkswagon Rabbits and clapped-out Honda motorcycles.
Much of the CTS aka BRC aka Sequoia Systems software was originally written to count punch cards on mainframes. The mainframes were replaced by minis, the minis replaced by PCs, the PCs replaced by imbedded micros. All the while, the original elections coding software was ported/translated to each successive generation of machine.
Contrary to what many slashdot readers seem to think, election coding is non-trivial, encompassing variations in laws and tradition in virtually every county of every state in the US. Since execution time is not an issue, and accuracy is, emulation and translation make lots of sense.

Cashflow is generally defined as income from some product or service provided. Investment money is usually *not* considered cashflow.

A witchdoctor toner refiller who could put a curse on SCO with each cartridge purchase.
That the press release was written by an incoherent madman?
Secondly, another DRM silliness to fiddle with? No thanks. I'm about to stop buying anything produced by Big Music and Big Film.

Was getting hooked on reading Slashdot every morning.

Italics are mine.
Is for Java to die as well.
The validity of the GNU public license. It's playing out right now. Follow it. And support it.
I don't believe the validity of the shrink-wrap software license has ever been *thoroughly* settled.
Someone like Ashton-Tate did win a fairly definitive lawsuit granting copywrite protection to a program's look and feed.

whose grammer is so poor reads slashdot.
Then how come I didn't score when I drove the Diesel Rabbit?
Was it an extra-cost option when you bought the car, in addition to the monthly fee?
