You are compiling for 32-bit Intel architecture. If you want to run a 64-bit kernel, you need a cross-compiler, and don't forget to set ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE on the command line for make.
This lawsuit may discourage other companies to contribute to Linux. Next videocard or network card may not have Linux drivers when you decide to upgrade because the hardware manufacturer didn't write the driver, being afraid of lawsuits from the companies it had licensed code from (no matter how unrelated to the driver). The community will write a driver for your device eventually, but it can happen when it's time for you to upgrade again.
It seems odd that they would bother, since the laws of probability come out in the casino's favor, they don't need to tweak the algorithm, just do a little basic math first.
Maintaining the correct payout is only one of the goals of the software. Other goals may be not to allow the payout fluctuate too much and to keep players interested. In other works make an illusion that the player is closer to winning that [s]he actually is.
That's when you need to use the user input "unfairly" to ensure the predefined result.
It is possible that the infridging code was added after version 2.4.13. Maybe it's only in the Alan's branch or only in the 2.5.x series. Think XFS or extended attributes or some ia64 code or something like this.
As for revoking the license, it would merely deny the right of SCO to distribute Linux kernel, including security fixes. I don't think it's a good idea. Since GPL doesn't govern the use of the software and neither does the copyright law, SCO still would be allowed to use Linux internally.

It appears from the comments here that quite a few people haven't bothered to read the article (slashdot users commenting before reading the article? there's a suprise!).
It's easy to fix by creating separate down-only modpoints. As it stands now, moderators who read the article and understand the issue prefer to spend modpoints on positive moderation. If down-only modpoints are introduced, those "insightful" comments will go down as soon as it's clear that they are wrong.
Providing firmware and the code to load it is insufficient to write a working Linux driver. The driver should be able to communicate with the firmware to transfer data and configure the device. That's what is missing and not the firmware. In fact, the firmware can be extracted in many cases from Windows drivers.
Current nightly snapshot of Phoenix is called phoenix-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz, the executable is called phoenix, however, the title bar has "Mozilla Firebird". It's not like they are using that name internally - it's exposed to the end users.
The problem is, nobody seems to get it. That RFC is not just humor, it's satire. Dividing packets into "evil" and "benign" is clearly a reference to the "axis of evil" and to the contemporary policy of the United States of America in general. Dividing the world into "good guys" and "bad guys" and exterminating the later is not going to make the world a better place to live, just live marking IP packets as evil and filtering out the later is not going to make Internet more secure.
Morale of the story: naive moral approach to complex problems, whether technical or political is not going to work.
Go to New Jersey Turnpike on a sunny day and count the cars (not trucks) moving slower than 65mph (the speed limit). My estimate is that 90% cars would drive over 65mph. You call it "aggressive law enforcement"?
An applicant for registration as a geologist shall have all the following qualifications: ...
(c) Have at least seven years of professional geological work...
At least seven years of "practicing geology" without license?
Support has been added to the Xft library to do rendering with the core X11 protocol. This allows clients using this library to render to X servers that don't have support for the RENDER extension.
Does it mean that I'll be able to use antialiased fonts in emacs?
Microsoft can already accuse developers of
accessing the Windows source code.
If the proof must be provided by the defendant,
I don't know how leaking the source code by
China would make any difference.
Put yourself in the position of the accused.
How would you prove that you have never seen
something?
Would the availability of the code change
the tactic you are using? I don't think so.

However, a queen size mattress is larger than a full size one, and that doesn't surprize anybody.

Just imagine how much time it takes to get an FP! That would certainly contribute to obesity.

But have you seen those cards actually transmitting data at this speed?

Not for RMS, that's for sure :-)

If they didn't limit sendmail to local connections, this wouldn't be the second remote root compromise. Not even the tenth.

When it comes to routine operations, like sending spacecrafts into LEO, private sector is more effective.
