  3. Slashlink on Claria/ Gator on SCO Playing Name Games · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Claria Explains It All.

    Somehow missed that one, myself (posted on a Saturday - that's why). I was wondering why I hadn't seen gator around much on the office ad-aware scans. Now claria, that's a name i've been seeing. don't think i like it any more.

    SCO is just coming to terms with exactly how much they are hated and trying to change horses in mid-stream. But it won't work. Subpeanas are still PITAs and it doesn't matter whose name is on the letterhead of the C&D.

  8. Sucess in marketing. on Birth of the iPod · · Score: 4, Interesting

    A lot of techs i know have blown off the iPod and are currently using another device to provide portable storage and audio playback. The iRivers are incredibly popular amoung 'i.t. people'. I know a lot of folks rave on about Creative's products as well. I personally like the Neuros.

    From a tech standpoint the iPod lacks some functionality, or has too high a price point for many of us. But from marketing, fashion, and the MTV crowd it is the "it" thing to own. No one can predict these things though. "It" just happens. Like a $45 trucker hat.

  10. SCO? on HP Memo Predicts MS Patent Attacks on Open Source · · Score: 1

    From the article: Demonstrating unwavering commitment to meet the needs of its customers, HP was the first major Linux vendor to offer indemnification protection against SCO-related lawsuits, thus enabling HP's customers to continue their Linux deployment plans with confidence. Elizabeth Phillips - HP spokesperson.

    Oh yeah, i'd almost forgot about SCO. What's Darl up to these days? I love how HP jumps on the pro open source bandwagon by reminding everyone how they were the first to scoff at SCO.

  19. Re:Uh huh on Suicide Caught on Surveillance Tape Appears Online · · Score: 1

    I read the article (both actually -- sorry!). It seems that at least one of the websites that host(ed) the video has a racist leaning. And, presumably, they're trying to make a metaphor about young aspiring rap stars (or blacks in general if you prefer) to the effect that they are "trash" that needs to be cleaned from housing projects (as in be removed or killed).
    Since this young man killed himself in the housing project of which he was a part (in a sense, since he lived there), according to the metaphor describe above, the housing project in question "cleaned" itself by removing (killing) this "trash".


    i know plenty of poor white trash in the redneck ghetto (yeah, hard to imagine) town i live in that could use a little "self cleaning". I think trashy people transcend all races

    You're right. It's certainly not part of my salary, but it is part of my total 'compensation' package. My employer pimps the bonus hard too. It's all we hear about all year long. "We might not pay our employees as well, but that bonus sure evens it up a bit..." Or 'How this or that will affect the annual bonus'. I think if i didn't get a sizable bonus, i'd look for new employment.
