Great refernece to the "Star Registry" people. They covred that scam on Fox News. I submitted it to/., but it was rejected. I used to dread that someone would buy that "gift" for me and I would have to pretend that I liked it.
Notice: I am am currently working on my PhD, but not in the field of Computer Science, or anything really computer related (I'm actually somewhere between a social science and philosophy)
It sounds like this might be a pathetic attempt by a geek to say that he is interested in ethiiii, arrhhuuuuuuhh, ethicuuaaa, esics, um, something about being well behaved.
Correct me if I'm mistaken, but wasn't the Kazaa network designed so that it doesn't rely on a central server? In that case, even if the company disappears, the network should still be around as long as people are wanting to use it to trade music.
Unless of course, the Democrats are afraid you'll elect the candidate and have your vote thrown out because the military mail didn't postmark it the same way the civil mail does.
Seriously, with the reputation that the AV companies have for removing viruses and worms from computers, it sounds like detection and removal of spyware should be right up their alley!
I'd like to see this in action. It would be great if they could use this technology to reach customers that other broadband companies won't touch. If not, just having them for price competition should be nice. Then again, there is the portability feature.
I wonder if they'll try to squeeze money out of us by charging us for "romaing?" Also, I'm sure that privacy advocates will be concerned about the ability of Nextel or any other provider to track their customers and that information will inevitably be shared with the FBI, et al.
First of all, please mod up + informative all the posts that point out superior coverage of this incident. I know that press coverage tends to be inaccurate, especially when it comes to computers, but I really hate the defeatist attitude that some/.er's seem to apply to the SCO debable. Obviously, Darl does NOT have the media sewn up in his pocket, and IBM has tons to lose if SCO wins.
On a totally unrelated note, does anyone else here read Atlanta-Journal-Constipation when they see AJC? I know someone else who does.

That explains it all. Translation: All we do is sue people.
Take that closing brace and shove it up Darl's ass with no lubricant!!!

Oh, by the way, Darl says "Pay up your SCO $699 license fees, you crack-smoking, filthy pirates!
It didn't last. A judge ruled that they cannot prevent the production of generic ink refills.
All you OFFICE(TM) are belong to us.
Filthy abusers of IP like you sicken me. How could you not recognize that that word belongs to MS.

Maybe Microsoft needs to do a better job welding the hood shut, eh?
Geat idea: how much did you charge and how did you go about making the availability of your service known?

I guess now we'll have to clarify things. For example, what does it mean if I say that I need to google SCO?
How about Monsters, Inc. Wouldn't that be a really evil company?
SCO has bought the google keywords "litigous bastards" and linked them to the Free Software Foundation.
Actually, I imagine that their servers are already in enough pain just from runnion SCOs UNIX.
