I don't know when this happened...Again they said that no changes were made to the network at all.
I saw too much of this in the article to consider this passed with flying colors. When nobody can explain why things don't work one day and do work another, I'd have to label it still a work in progress. No indication that even a second Mac would easily and successfully connect to their network right now.
I'd mod the original article Overrated if they still let me mod anything.
The belief that there is no new MS operating system until Longhorn omits one big thing: Windows-64 for the AMD Opteron/Athelon, and possibly another W64 if Intel "suddenly" shows up with their own version of 64-bit capable Pentiums and Xeons. Microsoft is rolling out this new product circa Q1 2004.
Add to this the current uncertainty of how fast 64-bit computing will be taken up leaving the question of will Longhorn be 32-bit, 64-bit, or both, and I can see Microsoft wanting to wait a bit and see how things shake out before supporting the wrong horse.
After all, Microsoft hardly wants to bet wrong with so much at stake. I'm sure they remember taking the wrong branch with MSN and the Internet, and the pain of correcting that decision.

Does this mean it only runs well on a Pentium Extreme Edition?
Many of our readers have written us with the same request: "Can you please explain how computer cases are created?"
Remember that TV show? I could sure enjoy seeing it's return given today's trash television programming. It could have Temptation Island's timeslot IMHO.
give the Feds the authority to tap the entire Internet.
Tap the Internet how? It's not like there's a single wire anywhere along the way to easily connect into. Short of tapping at the receiving end where all the packets converge again at the destination web-site, you'll need to do that for every single site and then trace back every IP address -- including those using anonymous proxies.
Professor Geoff Goldspink, from University College London,...said testing technology was "almost there."
Almost there, huh. The list of things that are almost there (dirt cheap solar cells, 64-bit Windows operating systems, Segways replacing all other forms of personal transport, television sets that you unroll and hang on your wall, the RIAA actually winning a case in court) is endless -- and is likely to remain that way since the axiom that the first 90% of the work takes 90% of the time and effort, and the remaining 10% takes the other 90% continues to hold undisputed sway.
Checkpoint 2^nth-1: Divide the increase in the stock price of SCO by the number of lines of non-GPL'd SCO code in the current Linux kernel.
If quotient is positive, go to the nearest topless bar.
If quotient is negative, go to the nearest topless bar.
If quotient is imaginary, get out of Darl McBride's wet dreams and go to the nearest topless bar.
On a Divide by Zero exception, pat yourself on the back and go to the nearest topless bar.

Anyone who thinks their Gnutella client is safe from the RIAA is living in Fantasyland [tm of the Disney corporation and copyrighted forever]. KaZaA is the first, but in no sense the last or only P2P network whose users the RIAA plans to sue. And they've already collected the information about big users on other networks.
don't see the relationship between an over encompasing patent, as the Selden Patent and a song copyright for a specific song. I think it is a weak analogy.
The analogy is that both groups, representing at consortium of manufacturers, started suing end-users of the product and didn't come out of the experience as well as they had hoped to do so as customers rebelled against buying the consortium products based on those acts.

Arnold would certainly be Mighty Mouse.

There were attempts to ban VoIP (as if you can separate one type of data from another).
Now political speech sites (have we become France verses Yahoo Auctions?)
At the same time our government is setting up anonymous proxy servers to help Iranians visit political dissent sites.
Who is being helped and who is being hurt?
Who has freedom?
Well they can either adjust for inflation, or travel in pairs.

Possible? Yes.
Expensive? Very yes.
Worth the effort? Ask the RIAA!

Not if you don't distribute the code afterwards.
Remove SCO from all future distributions. :^)

Wrong. They are BS when they are continually extended into perpetuity.
People more often break laws they feel are unfair. People are also the force that changes laws for the same reason.
