It doesn't really matter if they paid for it or not.
Should the IP claims [inevitably] turn out to be invalid, this company now has certifiable legal grounds to sue SCO for all their licensing money back. And more lawsuits over this sort of thing will just hurt SCO's stock values more in the long run.
The funny thing is that Gray Davis is doing a decent job. Much of the deficit is Enron's fault (I seem to recall that taking roughly $30 billion to clean up), and besides that he's taken the $38 billion deficit and whittled it down to a quarter of that.
There is a tremendous difference between individuals who choose to fight for a cause that they believe in, and people who, since birth, are taught and trained how to kill. It's awfully tough to domesticate a wild animal. The statement is "extremely generalized" because you are reading into it improperly and have made it such.
Of course there are. After you've been trained since the day you were born by the CIA to blow up Soviet tanks with homemade bombs, when the Soviets are no longer a problem you don't go and open a bagel store and call it a day. You continue to kill, because fighting is all you know. No enemy? Make one up.
The issue is that we need to learn from our mistakes instead of just saying "it happened twenty years ago, no big deal."
I do think it's rather amusing that despite all the "9/11 NEVAR FORGET" patriot propaganda plastered everywhere, killing twice as many civilians as died on September 11th is completely acceptable for us.
And we wonder why terrorists are trying to kill us?
Explain that your "router" is a hardware firewall and that if any worms, viruses, etc. infect your computer their company will be held entirely liable. Make sure you get their name. Make them spell it.
If that fails, just pretend you're doing what he asks. Your average tech can't tell the difference between a direct connection and a DMZed router to begin with.
True, not many care what OS drives their engine control computer. However, when they can't figure out how to turn the windshield wipers on, that's no longer the manufacturer's fault.
The real reason behind the Saturn flop was the horrific design of save data. This was carried over from Sega CD rather than redesigned, and they certainly could've learned a lot from Sony.
Sega Saturn stored all its save games on internal battery-backed RAM. Guess what happens when the battery dies? That's right. And what happens if the battery's getting weak and you need to change it? All your save data for all your games are gone first, unless you backup to a "backup RAM cartridge."
To my knowledge, only two games (Dragon Force, Dragon Force 2) were ever able to save directly to the cartridges.

They haven't come after Mono and other potentially-infringing stuff yet. Let's hope it stays that way.

Just think of it as "insurance."
I like that you can replace the Dock with DragThing.

I really need a program that just clicks "I Agree" to every EULA. Voila! No more contract!

Wait a second...
With my homebrew mod, you won't need one, if you catch my drift.
"Remember, any bug you find that you don't report is likely to not be fixed in the next release if you don't report it."
If I don't report it, it won't be fixed if I don't report it?
Just making sure I need to submit all bug reports twice.

Not guilt. PR.
Do you think Bush's approval ratings would be so high if everyone knew that we've killed 6,000 civilians in Iraq? I vote "no."
We've got politicians for that, silly.

They don't tell you this before you spend 7 minutes taking the test.
I presume this is the same Gateway support that told my dad's friend to run fdisk when he was having trouble connecting to AOL.

This isn't the same Looking Glass released by Caldera/SCO around 1995, is it?
I've heard of this interference before, and some people have made claims that the radio interference from BPL can travel hundreds of miles.
So yes, there's still a pretty good chance of interference if these claims are substantiated.
Of course, these copyright issues would be dwindling and dwindling fast if not for stupid fucking copyright laws.
