I wasn't aware of this....ehh...I thought XP was just modified Win2k code (and I remember my early XP alphas/betas looked exactly like Win2k...same with Server 2003...)
I saw this also, but I think what the author meant was Windows 95 -> 98 -> 98SE -> ME... Then Windows XP was the merging of the 2000 and 98 product lines.
his is where it gets really interesting -- the networks say that the 30-second-skip is an infringing device under the DMCA because there is no substantial non-infringing use for a thirty-second skip ahead
The aspect of the DMCA you're talking about applies to encrypted copyrighted works. When signals get to these devices, they either were not encrypted, or have already been decrypted (with the exception of DirecTivo)
Sometimes it decides on its own to break for a nice pot of Earl Grey and some fresh silicon wafers. We'll keep it running as much as possible, but please bear with us as we work to make it faster and more reliable.
However, anybody stupid enough to pay $20 for an MP3 is a moron.

very good reason that I hate KVM switches...
Keyboard and monitor on all servers. Monitors should be LCD to save UPS batteries. This way, if the UPS shutdown sequence fails, it can be done manually
I don't get it. Why do you hate KVM switches? Just connect an LCD to the KVM.
What I don't get is how does SCO think that they even have a chance of forcing anyone to change their server software. If you change your issue.net to indicate that you're running *BSD or somesuch, SCO wouldn't even look twice at your machine.
I totally agree, and would never change my machines at home. But the business needed a contingency, so I had to oblige. *BSD might be a better choice, but the management really liked the name Sun better than open source. sigh.
Why? Is there really a need for a Dummies book about Solaris? It's not like you can just walk into CompUSA and pick up Solaris 9. How does Wiley market a book like this?
I'm a perfect audience for this book. I installed our linux servers here, and am in charge of having a plan in case of the worst possible scenario -- SCO forces "the man" to have me remove gnu/linux from our company
All of our services claim they will run on Solaris for x86, which is free on 1 processor machines... So, my exit strategy involves migrating to Solaris.
So, I think this would be a good book to tell me what are the glaring differences. It won't be the best, or last book I'd buy, but it would probably be the first.
So if you don't turn on sharing you're not at risk? I'm not sure I understand.
In my personal, non-lawyer opinion, yes. Due to:
Copyrights protect holders from unauthorized distribution. If someone else is distributing, then you are not breaking the copyright
If all you are doing is downloading, the only "node" that would have any knowledge of your activity is the sharer. As such, unless you download from an RIAA inspector node, no one will ever know
Assuming the downloader in question was only downloading a couple songs at that time they were logged, the RIAA has no proof that they have any other songs on their computer.
The RIAA is suing file sharers. I know this doesn't get much play on the news, but it's the unauthorized distribution, i.e. sharing, that is in "violation".
So they don't have a log of you downloading something, they have a screenshot of all the files you are letting other people download.
SERIOUSLY, the FBI has no place at all getting involved with copyright issues.
In all truth, the FBI is exactly the organization to investigate copyright violations. Remember the warnings at the beginning of movies? IP and copyright are Federal laws. The FBI enforces federal statues
disclaimer: I hate this bill and think it should not come out of committee.
... to think that the same thing had happened on a larger, global scale, with nations instead of individuals.
I think you can draw a parallel between the states-rights issue in the US and what you're talking about on a global scale.
This new nation-rights issue, where each nation could have an authority higher than itself -- in this case the United Nations -- will require all nations to subscribe to this way of thinking. In addition, in the formation of the US Federal Government there was no SuperState to ignore the higher authority.
Your analogy between Germany invading Europe and America invading Iraq is not flawed, but your conclusions are (in my opinion).
The only way to legalise any military action not directly triggered by an attack of your opponents is via the United Nations
This is simply not true -- this whole notion of International Law believes that as a nation the US gave up its sovereignty. We did not. Like it or not, the only force that keeps nations sovereign is military force. There is no higher authority to which any nation reports.
I mean, come on, California has as many senators as South Dakota. No disrespect meant for South Dakota, but 34 million people ought to get more senators than 750K
They do -- California gets 54 votes, and south dakota gets 3... That's two senators and a miminum of one house representative.

Most of the time counting cards refers to blackjack -- and they typically use 7 decks of cards. So, you'll need to keep track of 350+ cards.
yes, yes, it's literally true that 50+ includes 350+.

Found the press release on SCO's press releases site... The declarations of trademarks included there, so I assume that SCO is behind it.
UNIX is a registered trademark of The Open Group
Linux is a registered trademark of Linus Torvalds.
