Where is there a path, left to right, from an SCO product (Unixware, Xenix/SCO Unix) to Linux ? Follow the green line right to left, looking for inbound arrows. There is one in 1994 from 4.4 BSD Lite 1, which is legally in the clear. How is this helping their case ?
What happened to all the allegations that [insert party here] illegally added code to the 2.4 kernel ?!
I agree. BTW why hasn't anyone here complained about the obvious security concerns ? These hard drives sit on the shelf for a month or something, during which an *ahem* exploit is discovered. Someone buys it, installs it, boots their computer with a broadband connection, and BLAMO! I admit that its not very likely, but it certainly could happen, and then we'd all be bitching about how it was a stupid idea in the first place.
Not only that but if everyone uses their own combination of these services, we'll have a more heterogeneous environment of spam filters making spam less effective on average.
No, but the volume of water in the oceans is staggering, and I doubt that there's enough fresh water in the entire world to make that much of a difference.
So global warming is still a myth ? Let's try to keep it that way.

A Pentium II is a 686. They've dropped support Pentium 1 and lower. This makes a lot of sense for two reasons: 1) A Pentium 1 would run like dog crap anyway 2) On most modern hardware optimizing for 686 gives almost the same benefit as optimizing for a specific processor (ie: Athlon Thunderbird, etc)

Her job consists primarily of zapping fruitfly maggots/larva with everything from lasers to 5000w microwaves. She also boils them, crushes them, melts them with acids, dessicates them with silica flakes then blows them away with huge fans.. you name it. Anything that can be done to kill the little doofers, she does. In bulk. They're grown by the thousands just for the purpose of dying in nasty ways.
Remember this story for the next debate on the meaning of life. Could we be the fruitflies ?
Does Canada have a founding document as potent as the US Constitution or are they still bent over for the Queen?
Arguably more potent, since it was enacted in 1982. People have had over two centuries to erode the fundamental rights guaranteed by the US Constitution. Here is a link to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Slashdot readers will be particularily interested in the following clauses : 2, 7, 8 & 9.
I would like to draw special attention to clauses 15 and 26.
15. Every individual is equal before and under the law and has the right to the equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination and, in particular, without discrimination based on race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, sex, age or mental or physical disability.
26. The guarantee in this Charter of certain rights and freedoms shall not be construed as denying the existence of any other rights or freedoms that exist in Canada.
I've examined the Copyright Act before over this specific issue. While it is obvious that the Act permits, say, the copying of borrowed cds, it is not obvious that it allows large-scale peer-to-peer networks. Certainly a small P2P network consisting of friends and aquaintences would fall under "private copying", but transferring files to millions of random people can hardly be called "private" anything. There are sufficient grounds for a good legal fight over this.
At the same time, I don't expect the CPCC (~RIAA) to adopt the RIAA's tactics anytime soon. People here have a much more lassiez-faire attitude towards these things, and as long as they don't get totally out of control (ie : people still buy the odd cd they really want), the copyright holders probably won't try to fight an unwinnable war.

One beer ? ... That's like 30 metric beers, eh ?
Actually "commercial" speech is not protected to nearly the same degree as "regular" speech. The law already has this distinction.
So you have no problem with the government censoring newpapers, virtually all of which (at least the large ones) are owned by corporations?
You don't need to bestow freedom of speech rights on corporations to get freedom of the press.
You confuse "affect" and "effect" in a story also about scambled words ? Too rich.
Ok, I'm looking at this chart very carefully.

And of course fear and thuggery has never been a deciding factor in an election in America and could never happen on a national scale.
I hope everyone recognizes sarcasm when they read it.

Does it replace "cool" with "k3wl" ?
This really is the best solution, and I hope ISPs will adopt it in leiu of bandwidth caps and customer harassment.
USA being nearly the size of Europe??
This was interesting so I looked it up here.
USA : 281,422,000 people on 9,629,091 sq km.
Europe : 700,990,000 people on 10,150,000 sq km
So yeah, the USA very nearly is the size of Europe, but with less than half the number of people.
