The only thing keeping me on Win98 is European Air War.
I have tried to get European Air War working under WINE. It is possible I am just hopeless.
If I knew someone had done it I could and would try - tonight. I am rebuilding home machine after she said I think I know that person and tried to run the attachment - which I checked with an updated [specifically for this] virus checker).
At various discount bookstores around town there are copies of Caldera linux distros (old) at fairly cheap prices. If I buy one and then any linux distro I like, I am protected from SCO because I am a customer. There are some in a remainder bin I think.
I don't like giving in to obvious stupidity and I don't like breaking the law, but running Win98 is not good for my physical or mental wellbeing.
I seem to remember lots of people saying what use ham radio -

This is actually illegal - minority shareholders are protected from this sort of activity by all sorts of laws and obligations. Majority shareholders are not allowed by law to screw minority shareholders, they still do but it is illegal. You may also find that you hit a compulsory takeover level, after getting something like 80% of shares you have to buy them all at the same or some nicely determined market price.
I you had a solid business case how GPL SCO's 'nix code would help the business you could without fear, otherwise you will be doing time.
Yes Minsky has said and done some really dumb things IMO.
However: "We will only make progress in engineering intelligent, adaptive systems by studying... animals." and "The CYC project... is a totally wrongheaded approach "
is just bullshit.
You are guilty of the same intellectual arrogance of Minsky.
Yes AI will need to deal with external data. But methods of desiging a dinky robot to navigate the post party vomit will not cut it for designing a space habitat controller. I would not trust it unless I knew there was a theoretical basis for the model on which it was working so that its limits were known.
As regards Cyc, now there exists a structured database of common sense. Available for future use by all manner of programs.
Studying toad tongue co-ordination may help in designing systems for managing external action/reaction systems. But it will not help in builing an axiom based reasoning device.

I think the biggest problem with email is that it is grossly inefficient for some forms of communication.
I truly miss Lotus Notes - worked in an organisation where Notes was installed and was the interface for everything that it could be - including some mission critical stuff. This was before intra/inter stuff was really up to iy . This was looked at but the big tick for Notes was the security stuff - particularly its granularity.
Technical (not just IT) discussions - problem specification, comments, links to references, cross categorized so appropriate people would see it. You could email a link to the discussion. even better IT worked with Registry people (this was an Oz government shop) so that the Notes databases were formally classified as "files". No more printing emails, file and folio numbering and sticking it in a file (eventually) to be lost in the archives. Keyword searching through accumulated wisdom (yes there was a fair bit in this gov shop).
Now back in a (pure) MS shop. Public exchange folders suck so much people barely use them for anything. Emails do or dont get copied to you and people seem to think you know about their problem because they emailed your boss. I see him almost cry everytime he looks at his waiting email and meeting requests. Collected long-trained emails printed and filed. The IP value locked in the emails lost by people leaving and having their email deleted would NOT bankrupt our company if it was calculated properly, but the Board would freak.
Point to point communication for email - yes. Secure communication maybe. Discussing/thrashing an issue/problem - no way.
ps: slashcode unless it has granular security on the scetions would not cut it.
Pluto currenly has an atmosphere, oneof the reasons for the Pluto Express/Kuiper Belt mission is to examine the atmosphere bfore it condenses as its eccentric orbit takes it past the point where the temp drops and the atmosphere condenses.
if launch costs from earth come down to $10/kg, the estimated 1 trillion litres of water at the pole ==> $10trillion worth of water sitting waiting for someone to sell to wandering space explorers.
>Then again I am no radio expert Neither am I, that's is why I am asking.
>this feeble level Radio astromers are used to weak signals - that weak maybe not for amateurs but 100 (or 1000?) widely spaced maybe.
The problem with NASA's DSN is not that it cannot detect it, but cannot lock on. So there is a signal they can detect but it is not strong enough. I am not asking the amateurs to upload to the sucker (first/. in space?).
So collect a whole lot of radiation over from 1000 radio astromers (is there that many?). Then combine the data. The DSN works basically one antenna at a time (10's to 100's of m), with VLBI you get a truly huge antenna (100's to 1000's of km) - a factor of 10,000 increase in dish size.
Is the equipment up to it? Would the amateurs consider it a worthwhile diversion from their pet projects?
