Europeans NEVER do that, do they Troed? Did an American steall your girlfriend or kick your ass or soemthing? What's your problem with everybody in America? Seriously, you generalize way too much. Are you a support of decapitations now or has your taste soured for that and your monthly donation ceased?
Wonder if Samba and nmap are included? Including Samba would be just arrogant after Samba made this statement. As far as nmap, SCO would be basically inviting a lawsuit after Fyodor said this:
"SCO Corporation of Lindon, Utah (formerly Caldera) has lately taken to an extortion campaign of demanding license fees from Linux users for code that they themselves knowingly distributed under the terms of the GNU GPL. They have also refused to accept the GPL, claiming that some preposterous theory of theirs makes it invalid (and even unconstitutional)! Meanwhile they have distributed GPL-licensed Nmap in (at least) their "Supplemental Open Source CD". In response to these blatant violations, and in accordance with section 4 of the GPL, we hereby terminate SCO's rights to redistribute any versions of Nmap in any of their products, including (without limitation) OpenLinux, Skunkware, OpenServer, and UNIXWare. We have also stopped supporting the OpenServer and UNIXWare platforms."
So what does being American have to do with it? Your prejudice against Americans is on the level of Neo-nazis hatred for Jews. Seriously, you hate Americans for the actions of their government. What's wrong with you?
Yes, you are. Linux is cheap but the developers that write OS/apps aren't. I've bought at least 1 set of CDs a year (Libranet, Mandrake, Redhat, OpenBSD, SUSE) and the cost is usually around $30-60 dollars for one set. My verdict on the price? Dirt cheap. Even if I could get the ISOs burnt to a CD for me for $2-3 bucks.
is now that Linus is aware of Ken Brown trying to contact him, there may be a discussion between the two. Linus ought to make it pretty funny and humiliating for Ken Brown.
Where the hell's the GUI for changing your wireless settings? Even Fedora has that. I changed it the old fashioned way through conf files and iwconfig but after all of this hype and paying my money for it, I'm a little surprised about this lacking tool.
"Mr. Schwartz also re-established Sun on the desktop with launch of the Java Desktop System which has quickly become the industry's number one desktop alternative"
Since when? They can't commit to Open Source anywhere, you have a user agreement the size of the bible with their company-branded Linux distro that's at least a year behind the times and Redhat's new corporate desktop is going to make Sun's "Java" system another joke on Slashdot. Never seen such a leadership problem in my life. Conflicting press statements every damned month.
Sun's going kepp on waffling until the last of their money left over from the dot-com boom is gone.
Expect some real decisions made in desperation as they run out of money but for right now there's definitely a leadership problem at that company.
Maybe we could forgo the technology that we don't need and have longer enlistments for infantry with more Special Forces type training, i.e. winning hearts and minds. Make it a lifestyle choice with more and better training, higher physical standards, better pay.
Go ahead and shoot me down but I'm going off of 8 years of Marine Corps Infantry.
Some of the new technology is great like the new ACOG 4x scope for the battle rifles. You can use them with both eyes open. My little brother is deploying to Iraq as a Marine Scout Sniper and bought his own (out of his pocket!) Eotech 552 scope. You can see from the link provided that it can be used even when half the lens is damaged.
In keeping in line with my comment about the rifle scopes/sights, the basic gear still needs to be revamped. Tear away chest harnesses are in high demand with most Marines choosign to buy them out of their own pockets rather than use the issue gear. The Marine Corps is still trying to deal with their mistake of using the MOLLE gear system. The MOLLE's plastic pack frame was breaking left and right in Afganistan and now the Marine Corps is replacing the pack with a new design.
So stop fantasizing about the choice of OS on pie in the sky dreams/future projects and get the grunts gear that works.

Can I migrate Exchange onto OSX Server? oh please god, please Mr Jobs
There's a company that claims to be able to migrate Exchange to Linux or an OS X server in few easy clicks. However they don't seem to want my business since they won't respond on their own forums and emails to every address of theirs I could find remain unanswered after a month.

'Nuff said.
"Has anyone encountered similar stupid acts?"
Yeah, accusing a Hong Kong based ISP of being in the US because it blocks un.org.
Trying to get it work on my Mac.

Is a virus that spreads via phone to computer or vice versa possible?
Has anybody tested the pr0n transfer rates on these?

Begun the great scripting languarge holy war has.
How's the ACPI/APM?
Correction. It will be funny for us, humiliating for Ken Brown.
is now that Linus is aware of Ken Brown trying to contact him, there may be a discussion between the two. Linus ought to make it pretty funny and humiliating for Ken Brown.
but ADTI and Ken Brown are just coming off as idiots so I don't even laugh anymore. Seriously, anyone of us could debunk their claims.
Some people on the XFree86 Forum list claim it's the vendors using Xorg for their own interests.

Yeah, Europeans never do that, you jackass. Took all of 3 seconds of using Google (an superior American company).
YOu're dead on but just as a matter of interest the M1's chief advantage was it being semi-automatic.
Yeah, I read it. Then I got on my soapbox :)
My NVGs (night vision goggles) took a proprietary battery OR AAs.

it being the gun-hating state it is, I got free access to a local 80 acre shooting range and discounted (at cost) ammunition.
