  1. SCO Is Dying on SCO Says IBM is Beating Up on Them · · Score: 1

    Damn, you beat me to it.

    It is official; Netcraft confirms: SCO is dying

    One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered SCO community when pundits, lawyers, and rational people everywhere confirmed that SCO's credibility has dropped yet again, now down to an infintesimal amount, if not actually zero. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that SCO has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along: SCO is collapsing in complete disarray under the weight of its threats, lies, and false accusations.

    You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict SCO's future. The hand writing is on the wall: SCO faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for SCO because they are going to be sued into the stone age by IBM, Redhat, and irate Linux users. Things are looking very bad for SCO. As many of us are already aware, SCO continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.

    Unixware is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time Unixware developers only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: SCO is dying. Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers. SCO has filed a 3 billion dollar lawsuit against IBM. The chance of success is zero. Zero times 3 billion is zero. Their company headquarters is about to become a giant crater.

    All major surveys show that Darl McBride has steadily declined in sanity. His constant ranting and ravings are degenerating into farce as his company's long term survival prospects dim. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, SCO is dead.

    and to make our point very clear that their governing laws and policys have absolutely no meaning to us here in Palestine, we will continue to add even more movies for FREE.

    So is the MPAA going to go after these guys, or just wait for Israel to bulldoze the right house ? There's a joke in here about Jews controlling the media, but I have a feeling people would take it too seriously.

    In other words, they should attack the competition by improving the things that they are bad at.

    I disagree. The problems with Windows' stability and security are chronic. Microsoft has to be seen to be leading in some area if they expect to attract or retain marketshare. Making a spiffy new UI, as dumb as it sounds, is the way to reach the most people and impress on them that this version of Windows is different. At the same time it will make other desktop environments look clunky, like yesterday's technology. Personally, I'm dreading the day that KDE starts to look like this.

    This has got to be the worst troll ever. You have somehow managed to compare humanity's ongoing, concious destruction of the oceans to a highly unprobable, random event. I don't even know what to suggest to you; your thinking is so illogical I can not see a way to help. Prehaps you should shoot yourself, or at the very least, try not to vote or open your mouth again.

    Now, this is the sort of thing that makes you wonder why we spend so little effort studying our oceans.

    Maybe it's because we're too busy exterminating the life in said oceans.

    You will almost never find a solution unless you suspect that it exists. Furthermore, the math which you call "simple" didn't spring from somebody's head that way. It seems simple because it has been revised and developed by numerous authors over long periods of time.

  19. Re:That's nice, but not impressive on No Magic In A Knight's Tour · · Score: 1

    Writing an algorithm is certainly an appropriate way to prove the existence or non-existence of something, and an elegant algorithm is often equivalent to having a well developed theory. In this case however, the result was proved using a brute force search, which sadly tells us nothing more than "no".

  20. Re:That's nice, but not impressive on No Magic In A Knight's Tour · · Score: 1

    A pen-and-paper proof typically yields insights about the nature of a problem, whereas a brute-force solution often tells you nothing beyond the answer. Mathematicians usually want to know why something is true or false, and not just if.
