You mean Industry type publications that cost $5-10US for 100- pages and require a $200US annual membership and don't carry ads?? Oh and don't pay contributors of articles?? Or are you talking about stuff like the drug magazines that doctors "subscribe" too that charge $50K for a 2 page "article" selling the latest hot new drug?
I can earn peer points for allowing my computer to be used as a distributed host for someone elses software. From P2P to B2P2P, except I don't have to want the stuff on my computer.
Next stop, My computer will be used as a pr0n server without my knowledge, and since it will be (semi-)encrypted, I won't even necessarily know about it.
Practically speaking, the only reason Time, Newsweek, your local newspaper and any other major magazine charge anything is that the advertisers wouldn't pay the big bucks for advertising in a "free" publication. Obviously, the distribution channel gets a cut, but even if the advertisers had to pay for distribution, the magazine(s)/Newspaper(s) would make $$$ from advertising(see radio/TV). And of course the myth(debunked) that advertising has any impact on sales. You believe that the magazine you pay for has value, so you pay for it. The advertisers believe you will pay attention to advertising in a vehicle that has value and also pay for it
This doesn't fit as a response to any one post, so...
Definitely don't skip out on the dead tree. Get a paper notebook. As far as computers go, unless you are a Math/Physics/CS/EE major, a laptop, Desktop and Palmos combo should run less than $800 for a completely usable set... Think PII IBM Thinkpad with Erasermouse for around 400, Athlon 1GHz desktop with monitor for $200-400 depending on monitor and a Visor for $70ish. That will meet the needs for papers, etc and portability. Obviously if you need heavy computational power for those hard homework problems you will need more Horsepower. Obviously you could do something similar with MacOS but I'm not as familiar with the pricing there. Most important thing to remember is that you don't need to pay bleeding edge prices to get usability, functionality and a decent weight to carry around.
Genuinely rational people know that any society where it is possible to be rich and remain rich and it is also possible to become rich is better than a society in which it is completely impossible to be poor.
Ok, Then lets test the time differential when you heat the bottom of an identical iron bar and I hold the top, Then we will have some other tests including a blind test where someone holds the middle of a bar and cannot see which end is being heated. Please, let us be scientific.
Uh perhaps you read a different book than I did, but when Sam overhears Smeagol and Gollum arguing, Using different voices, thats about as split as you get.
The smart fish have either gone straight, or choose their targets so carefully that even if/when caught, the target is too humiliated or vulnerable to the information acquired that no charges can be filed.

As horrible as that song is, it has an odd appeal, like crack. I would be willing to pay for a decent quality version of the video(640x480) and one of these months, I should hunt up a copy of the Audio on CD or vinyl.
So, no one should be allowed to generate derivatives of Shakespeare? Or just that it should be verboten to sell tickets?? How about Dante's Inferno???
Are you a future member of the RIAA?? Seriously, the purpose of the "public domain" is to allow people other than the original creator to profit from performing or displaying "useful" entertaining works.
Do you honestly think MS wants to go toe to toe with IBM unless they have a signed confession from every director in IBM?? SCO is IBM/MS annual coffee budget, OTOH IBM isn't that much different in size from MS and filing a frivolous lawsuit or even one where there might be possible counter claims is suicide. Imagine two 60 ton tanks driving towards each other at 60MPH...

Uh, It is never by blinding speed. It is always by moving just faster enough.
Actually, the wording of the press release(s) from Novell suggests that it is a perpetual license.
Actually, you are both right and mistaken

Yes.. Try Ebay look for IBM PS/2 Model M type keyboards... Built like a brick(literally can be used to put a nail into a board). and no Windows key.

Who cares, I want to know two things, is there intelligent life in SCO?
And is there intelligent life on Slashdot?
Ok, three things, is there life after Slashdot?
