this is a baited question. I have 1/2 dozen or so phone bills but what i really need is for my cell phone to double as my wireless router to my home network, and get 3G/4G high speed service.
when the heck am i going to get that?
Sprint, hello? can you do that for me?
then i can cancel my landline and earthlink account and have only my cellphone bill.
be fair.
code evolution breeds cruft, and this is
just cruft.
commonly debug code is easier to block out
using trivial flow-control instead of comments.
eg {debug code;} becomes if(1) {debug code;} becomes if(DEBUG) {debug code;}
and i told them to buy WebSphere.
my letter:
Hello,
Today I heard on the SCO/Caldera conference call that you are using SCO/X web-services platform.
Have you considered switching to another platform?
The survival of SCO "the company" is not in doubt beyond the end of this summer as
such perhaps it would be prudent to examine services offered by such companies as IBM.
Consider, for example, the WebSpere e-business platform.

"Finally, there's another gotcha as far as this suit goes. SCO is claiming that IBM, Red Hat and SuSE are somehow violating SCO's IP with code that they're shipping with their Linux offerings. If this is true, is SCO shipping it as well? Under the terms of the GNU General Public License, even if IBM and the rest are shipping stuff wrongly (which, again, I very strongly doubt), once it makes it out the door in SCO's Linux offerings as GPL'ed code then the company as the legitimate copyright holder (if they are) has given carte blanche to the rest of the world to use that code. From the GPL, section 6:
Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
It would seem to me that one quick way to debunk SCO's claims would be to examine the source from SCO Linux and the source from what IBM is shipping. If, in fact, there are no significant differences (and I suspect there are not) then SCO has no leg to stand on.

what do you think saudi arabia will do
when we decide to go down this road? pump
more oil maybe?? oil can be made so cheap that saudi arabia can kill of the hydrogen transition 'just for fun'. it will be worse that the transition to HDTV:)
when cars came along, they
bought all the train tracks (in LA), and guess
what? public transportation is barely functioning.
look around your neighborhood. how many gas stations do you see? what is the cost of this 'gas infrastructure'?
the west invented the car -- asia enhanced it.
again, the computer revolution was invented in the west and asia will enhance it.
now our nascent industries are nano-tech and bio-tech. many years from now asia will 'enhance it'
Slashdot Mirror
what it really is is microsoft is going to collect the behavior of bot's not humans.
sco has proved nothing in court. this is illegal.
the redhat lawsuit was win-win all the way. sorry to say this, but just as SCO wants money from M$, redhat wants money from ibm.
they dont give a crap
OK wiseguys. find a way to GPL all of windows using the license M$ST bought from SCO.
this is a scary trend. at least no one has posted mailing addresses yet.
duh. widespread use of fossil fuels hurts the ozone layer too.
this is a baited question. I have 1/2 dozen or so phone bills but what i really need is for my cell phone to double as my wireless router to my home network, and get 3G/4G high speed service.

Sprint, hello? can you do that for me?
then i can cancel my landline and earthlink account and have only my cellphone bill.
i'm tired of this. from now on, as a consumer, i want old crappy stuff.
i want LESS Megahertz, LESS Ram. and i want it to cost A LOT!
when will someone please do childhood's end? did i miss it? maybe i was asleep.
at least is been around a long time

excellent. you should post this on the novl message board on yahoo.

didnt sco give all the code away when it was released under the GPL? there's nothing left to license.
i guess the boycott is working.

appropriate, considering the topic
the west invented the car -- asia enhanced it. again, the computer revolution was invented in the west and asia will enhance it. now our nascent industries are nano-tech and bio-tech. many years from now asia will 'enhance it'
so you can see the source. big deal. when i can compile my own windows, then big deal
