  1. Re:Perhaps you'd best leave those variables alone. on "Stolen" SCO Linux Code Snippets Leaked · · Score: 1

    Much like SCO code being in Linux would allow SCO to charge $$$ for binary-only Linux?

    i'm still going to drink that next bottle someday so i am addicted

    So I'm addicted to bread, lettuce, baked beans, chips and other foodstuffs simply because I enjoy them and may have them again some time?

    AFAIK that's only on Windows in IE/Mozilla Firebird/Excel/Word/Some Other Apps - e.g. no X, no Moz users.

  5. Re:MS would certainly go after this market on SCO May Countersue Red Hat, SuSE Joins The Fray · · Score: 1

    Yup, I've noticed it - over here in England. I wonder how many "nickels" (WTF they are... is it 10c or something?) they saved by not doing localised adverts...

    What would stop MS taking the current source and making their own binaries out of that?

  7. Re:Chilling on SCO "Disappointed" by Red Hat Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Sorry, /bin/loony is part of SCO's IP, and you cannot therefore get a free trip to it. You must pay $699 for a licence to use /bin/loony. Thank you for your cooperation.

    In England, at least, Switch is pretty big (a debit card system) and accepted virtually everywhere mastercard, etc, are accepted. There's also a version of that for younger people, Solo. I've had a solo card from NatWest since I was 11; it's accepted most places switch is.
