This will be off topic but how and why is Sco stock value keep riding Down then Up. As off now.. trade $4.30 but earlier at one point it was $4.03, WHY?!
Nice discount on Suse Linux 9.0 Professional Edition http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/deta il/-/B000 0E3QNB/qid=1079624062/sr=8-1/ref=pd_ka_1/104-01626 29-2096744?v=glance&s=software&n=507846
Folks it just seems to me that Mac OS X relies heavily on Adobe (Photoshop, Illustrator, Go live, et al) and Microsoft (Office, Outlook, Messenger, Media player, el al). Then pretty much everything is either proprietary apple software or free GNU tools. To me it just doesn't justify the profound cost of owning an Apple.

I don't find it to bias, unlike Slashdot editor's.
I've said it before, I've had my hotmail account for a long long time.. I never receieve spam. Why? I'm not a part of the "Member Directory" service they offer. Thats like a nice little paved road for spammers...

Did Sco flip their story around after Novell stepped in? I don't remember reading about this?
SCO Statement on Novell's Recent Actions Wednesday May 28, 10:15 am ET... SCO's lawsuit against IBM does not involve patents or copyrights. SCO's complaint specifically alleges breach of contract, and SCO intends to protect and enforce all of the contracts that the company has with more than 6,000 licensees.

~Sigh.
Sounds fair to me. Bigpond knows that they have a problem with abuse. They should of done something about it!! Plain and simple and good for AOL. I hope others will follow in their foot steps.
Has anyone ever thought maybe just maybe.. That if there were not patients, there would be a lot more innovated and technology would be extremely high tech and powerful?
Just a pondering suggestion though. First off I know this is way off topic and so on. But why hasn't there been a "strongly" supported or stable project on developing a GUI that is more of a client based system rather then a server? I think if Linux want to advance more towards the desktop users they need to begin to develop for them.
As I interact with friends, family and just people in general. The subject of internet tends to come up. You have the praises and you here the griefs. One thing that I've heard more then once, about AOL and MSN. Is that, when it comes time to cancel the free trial that was so generously offered? The actually cancellation does not occur. They are billed that outrageous monthly fee and it showing up a month or so later on the credit card bill. So what the point is that they give you a conformation number and most of us are not likely to neither write it down nor remember it. So we are screwed. So why am I mentioning this? Well I also have friends who work for AOL and they always have stories to tell how the account system is awful in which it does not cancel the free trail account. It just makes you think rather this in intentional or system failure.
I don't think they could take control of it. Linus owns the copyright to it (if that can stop anything?) I know I'm going to get flamed for this but this might be really good for the Linux advancements. But only if Microsoft releases it open sourced? Hell thats if we are talking about them releasing a Distro. If they just released Word/Office, we could perhaps starting to kick some ass and soak up little by little of users who want something better. Overall I think this might be good for us. Microsoft will have their cheap shots inhand. I guess we will have to wait and see.
Wow this is just such great news. I so heart Debian! People who were/are die hardcore Debain users that ventured off to find something more modern simplier and "practical" install interface are going to be jumping back onto the Debian bandwagon. I think its safe to say that Debian is one of the most well respected linux distribution out there. Its good to see how things evolve, good luck.
The reason I said what I did, is most of you people are talking about installing Mandrake or Slackware, blah blah . If you're able to install a distribution of Linux (effectively) then you damn straight should be able to put together a computer (Then come with well documented instructions!!)?
It just seems you "consumers" (rather then savvy geeks) need brand recognition to get by with your life.
With Pricewatch you can build a really upscale PC for about 350.00 dollars (plus/minus). The PC Walmart offers is pretty low-end shit technology to do anything with.
would never in my right mind think that Phoenix web browser was out trying to compete with Phoenix Technologies. The business world is just really brutal and damaging to the technology world. But any how they do such a damn fine job with their web browser, maybe now they can look into venturing into developing a PC Bios
(Phoenix:web browser based PC Bios "we *really* ignite technology!")
Yes winamp3 (typo). I do not have a problem with Mozilla; I do not consider it as bloat also I do use Phoenix. I just don't see what your problem is. GUI? Linux is not any better then Windows, actually Windows is far superior in many perspectives. Linux should just be left to what it's really superior and powerful at, server related tasks.
Only if Netscape could be as fast, stable and super un-bloated as Mozilla releases are. I think they might have a chance of gaining some market share. The reason I say this is that I still know people who use Netscape 4 releases and they are die-hard-core fans too. The sad part is this will never happen. AOL has just polluted that hell out of the new 7.0 releases. Its really sad too, because they done the same to ICQ, the new Winamp 2, Real player and pretty much every other inet company they have eradicated.

If "windows update" is so bad, then how to expect everyday people to update/patch thier computer(s)?
I think its a win/lose/lose type of situation.
Why pay when you can download them for free?
opennap.sourceforge.net
Sounds fair to me. Bigpond knows that they have a problem with abuse. They should of done something about it!! Plain and simple and good for AOL. I hope others will follow in their foot steps.
Isn't BIND 9 suppose to fix this? (It's a complete rewrite of their pervious buggy code.)
Just keep your name out of their Member Directory and you will be spam free. I've had my Hotmail account for years spam free.

"I sell digital communications and they sell computer hardware. Where's the connection?"
Well the connection is..
Intellectual property "trademark" and money.
