In other areas of the settlement, department lawyers praised Microsoft's compliance.
This doesn't deserve praise . This means that they have met the bare minimum of what is required of them in some areas. That's like being praised for not spitting on someone.
Not only that, the reason they were in court is because of ilegal activity in the first place.
So, in summary, they act criminally, get caught for it, are given a minimal set of rules to redeem themselves, and they can't be bothered to do that right.
I guess I shouldn't be surprised. But even with my low expectations of them, they still continue to amaze...
What I am trying to say is that Justice does not equal Fairness
Uhh, actually it does. From dictionary.com:
jusÂtice n. 1. The quality of being just; fairness.
So, I think justice does mean fairness;-)
Thus, What I see is the linux community simply yelling,"That's not Fair!"
I'm hearing "Bullshit!" from the Linux community, not "That's not Fair!". And speaking of fair and just, corporations should not be exempt of requiring to be fair or just, just because there's more money in being rat bastards. SCO has clearly crossed the line, and deserves to be out of business.
Sony stuff is a cut above most other brands, and here's how I know:
The one brand the engineers all hated working on was Sony, but that's because Sony equipment was far more sophisticated that the other manufacturers' kit, and just too damned difficult to understand and fix
Yeah, that's how I measure quality. Technicians don't like to fix it because it is too complex for them to understand.
No offense to the poster, but complex is not better. Better is better.
Agreed. While it isn't and shouldn't be legal, enforcement is often way overboard.
I'd like to see someone go down for Enron, Worldcom, Microsoft (they were convicted of FAR worse!), and every major brokerage on Wall St which has been screwing over investors for years.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, corporations do far worse EVERY DAY, pay a small fine IF caught.
Using one standard (TCP/IP - rfc 791, 793...) over another (OSI model) does not prove the point that standards are a Bad Thing. If IP didn't develop into a standard, we wouldn't all be on/.
Check out this place http://cdbaby.com/ Independent label CDs. I just bought a CD from them, and had a really good experience. The CD? Resination, if you must know. http://cdbaby.com/cd/resination
And I have no affiliation with them except for being a happy customer.
Think of all the great things this could lead to, you could get the phone company to block calls to your house if the caller has committed certain crimes. You could get postal mail blocked by USPS, FedEx and UPS if coming from a criminal person or company (this means no MS crap!!!).
Although I wonder what ISP the child p..nography dept at the police station will use...
Sure they get to innovate and make their customers happy, but it does not win them more customers. This article seems to imply that creating cool technology and implementing it on a PC will help Apple. There needs to be some proprietary software in place for this to be true.
Maybe they are betting you are wrong. I can see where innovating and making their customers happy might win them more customers. In fact I am at the point now of considering my first mac, and I know I am not the only one.

also, we could go after the people who get mugged too, as they clearly aren't doing everything they can do to protect themselves from muggings, and it encourages muggers to mug you and I then. Or for that matter, people whose cars break down during rush hour. The list goes on and on...
Clearly most classes are directed at passing a certain test; and this is what you do not want.
You have no friends apparently that have the prerequisite skills you are looking for.
Well then, time to get creative, as 95% percent of the available options do not work for you...
1) Find mentors. This can be in any business you work in. Find the guy(s) that manage your network and ASK. Even McDonald's must have a Mcfry/network guy.
2) Find your local groups. In Atlanta, I find ALE (http://www.ale.org) a great group with a huge diversity. And more than happy to help. They even helped me clean my garage and do my taxes!
3) Hack. You probably already own a computer. In fact, you probably already own 2 (or could get another 1 for less than $200). That and a couple of NICs and a cable, and you have a network. Have fun.
Necessity is the mother of all invention, but desire is in the front seat, driving this mother around. (me)
4) I HAVE LOST THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS POST, I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHAT THE QUESTION WAS. JUST FSCKING EMAIL ME AND I'LL TELL YOU HOW TO PROFIT FROM i.t. AND NOT EVEN MENTION THE SOVIET UNION.

That's funny. I thought that was a real mistake at first.

It's NOT a WORM, it's a SELF INSTALLING PATCH
It looks for vulnerable shares, and disables sharing on that PC, looks for others.
Thank you very much, the Net is a safer place.
And if MS wrote it, chances are it's legal (SP3 EULA).

I worked about 160 hours a week for a few weeks in January
That left you 8 hours a week to sleep. Something seems a bit overblown here...
