I would assume that unless there is a financial transaction involved, it isn't likely. This list only involves enteties who have trade restrictions against them.
great analogy - I wish I had some mod points right now to assist in letting the cream rise to the top. This is one of the better analogies that I've read in regards to this lawsuit.
The biggest problem with Office changing the way thier UI is configured(and a lot of UI's in general) is the issue of "user expectations." If a user wants to do X, they expect X to work for them in a certain way. UI design is inherently difficult because you have to manage and anticipate user's actions and their expectations.
Drastically changing UIs all together, for any piece of software, has the tendency to initially alienate your existing user base simply because they have become acustomed to doing things a certain way. When things don't work as they expect them to, it becomes a frustration to use said piece of software. Of course the flip side is, if the software vendor nails the UI on their re-factor then they are all hailed as BRILLIANT. Microsoft does have a lot of experience in creating UIs, and has really done a lot of great research in the UI dept, but as with everything - I'll always be sceptical...
I hope this post gets all the karma in the world for patiently explaining in terms the general public would understand, the true nature of Type 1 diabetes.
That being said, when I read headlines that say "Woman cured of diabetes" it does make me excited, but when I read the details of the cure, and find out that it's not a new treatment, it just happened to be "less of a failure" than the previous attempts, it is a bit disheartening.
insulin injections were originally porcine (pig) based. This isn't entirely too far fetched. However being a diabetic and not a biologist, means that my statement means nil.
I, too, have done my share of JS programming, and have taken issue with many aspects of the language. However, if you take JavaScript for what it was originaly designed to do, it is a fair language.
If you read the language definition for ECMA Script 3.0, you can see that JavaScript was defined as "providing a mechanism to enliven Web
pages in browsers and to perform server computation as part of a Web-based client-server architecture." Based on this claim, it would be inappropiate to include such features in the core specification to allow for file system support (file/database, as you claim). As stated in a previous post, there are extentions to the language that are host specific, but not supported on a broad general definition of the language, since this was never a goal of the project
the latest report on NPR said that both forms of communication (direct and relayed) were working and NASA was receiving messages, but they were empty or garbled which leads them to believe there is a problem with the computer generating the messages. To further the problem, since the data they are receiving is garbage, there is no way to anaylse the state of the rover from earth since there is only one direction of communication, at best.
I noticed on a site that the kernel 2.4.20 is indeed ~4.4 mil lines of code. However, what is to say that the lines SCO finds offensive doesn't extend past just the kernel. There are some that consider Linux just an operating system (kernel, drivers, file system, tools, etc) and others that consider it the whole shebang (the aforementioned plus applications designed to run on top of the operating system layer). I admittedly haven't been following the SCO drama with the greatest of detail, but my question is - what does SCO consider "Linux" - is it just the OS or is it an entire distribution (OS and apps)?
I just ran into that same problem with Java's Gregorian Calendar the other day and couldn't for the life of me figure out why the month was always (expectedMonth -1). Finally I looked at Jan and saw that it was month[0] and the light bulb became very bright.
I hate stupid mistakes like that in programming. They are always the most time consuming.
From the Wired article "Hating Hilary"(re-printed without permission):
Some of Rosen's toughness can be traced to her twenties, when she came out as a lesbian and fought on the frontier of gay politics, becoming an early and ardent advocate for AIDS research. I ask Rosen if she thinks the stereotype of a militant lesbian plays into her image as being too aggressive. She considers this. "I never thought of myself as one of those separatist dykes," she says finally. "But I suppose if people see me that way, that's fine."

Millenium is eclipsed.
*me wipes the drool*
All I have to say is "holy friggin crap" - if any of you have ever ridden the millenium force, it *is* the king of roller coasters. It doesn't suffer from the rough ride of a lot of hyper/mega/super coasters and all of the turns are seamless, so there is no jerking. If this thing truly eclipses the Millenium Force, then Im going to be there opening day... and I live in Nevada.
It isn't just that people don't gamble, they don't shop and they don't tip when they go out to eat. Apparently COMDEX and CES are favorite times for waitresses around the convention centers to take vacation time.
Besides, geek understand mathematics (better than the average gambling public) and they also know that the odds are stacked against you no matter what you are playing, so why bother. Most of my fellow college students (engerineering at UNLV) refuse to gamble since they know that these billion dollar casinos aren't built because they are giving money away.
My girlfriend and I went out to the lake which is about fifteen miles from the brightest dang town on the planet. Got there around midnight and parked at a picnic spot where they had covered benches, so we used the cover to shade our eyes from the moon and looked eastward. After about a half hour of noticing that most of the show was further right from where we were sitting we adjusted our view and got an even better show. Left around 130 since we both had to be up at 800 , but still saw a great show, probably between the two of us we saw about 100 in an hour. Considering there was just enough haze in the sky to let the moon illuminate it and the city wasn't helping either, it wasn't wasted effort. I was really surprised to see how many cars were heading out to the lake at two in the morning as we were leaving, it is a national park and not a lot of people hang out there after dark. Anyone else on slash in the vegas area check out the show How was it after 130
I always thought that the philosophy in video games was similar to the drug (narcotic) marketing - first hit is always free. Don't believe me - look at how many demos are available.
Speaking of codecs, could anyone point me to a site with a sort of "all in one" codec tar/zip/whatever file (if such a thing exists). I find that there are so many variations and slight variations of codecs that it is annoying to keep straight. Any suggestions on players would be welcome too - platform doesn't matter.

Looks like I'm about to commit a criminal act this morning. I encourage everyone to be criminals, also. They can't throw us all in jail.

the responses reminded me a lot of the interview on satirewire with Ask Jeeves. Pretty comical stuff

oops, forgot my close tag... my appoligies for the massive underline
and as of 12:10 (EST) today has dropped 11% - significantly more than the rest of the market has dropped today (less than 1%). If this is a statistical refelction of the "green judges" then I think it's a safe assumption the public thinks SCO is biting off more than it can chew.
