  1. No use. on Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow! · · Score: 4, Funny

    I've been hiding at home all this time and no one has yet to discover me for my one handed web surfing skills.

  2. Re:sure, why not? on U.S. Plans Targeted Draft for Computer Personnel · · Score: 1

    Sorry, it was a typo, it should've been E-4 as in Specialist.

  3. Re:US Goverment != Democracy on Sims Online Presidential Campaign Shapes Up · · Score: 1

    But you do think that the courts were acting out of line, in regards to "electing" Bush?

    If you have a college degree, you can enter as an E-1. You also left out the fact that they will provie shelter and food so they get to pocket most of that 13,272.

  5. Re:How will they find us? on U.S. Plans Targeted Draft for Computer Personnel · · Score: 1

    That's a catch 22 because without formal education, it's hard to find jobs now. Most IT jobs I've seen posted requires 4 year degrees.

  6. Re:A much better idea on U.S. Plans Targeted Draft for Computer Personnel · · Score: 1

    Because then there will be no money left over for big fat contracts for contractors with connections.

  7. Re:About stock. on Baystar Confirms Microsoft Behind SCO Investment · · Score: 1

    It does if the stock price becomes low enough to encourage a hostile take over.

    If MS buys enough shares of SCO, it creates demand, which boosts up the price, which allows SCO to sell more stocks at inflated prices.

  8. Re:Hmmm.. on Overclocking Your Sega Genesis/MegaDrive · · Score: 1

    Not if they are unclocked to begin with. Those processors ran at 16MHz on Macs without any problems.

  9. Re:I know that they are having problems selling it on U.S. Army Warns Microsoft To Back Off · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure MS got some pointers from SCO for their investment. SCO throws in some free licenses with the deal and claim that companies are snatching up linux licenses, just as MS giving away free software and claim that their base is expending.

  10. Re:I got one! on U.S. Army Warns Microsoft To Back Off · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'm not suprised. Exchange 2003 Server deployment guide is just an advertisement for Windows 2003 Server and Outlook 2003. Sure, Exchange 2003 can run on Win 2000 SP3 but if you want to use all the features, run it on 2003. Sure, Exchange 2003 can serve older Outlook clients, but if you want all the features, get Outlook 2003.

  11. WMD on U.S. Army Warns Microsoft To Back Off · · Score: 1

    Army should consider MS software to be a Weapon of Mass Disruction because on the damages caused by back to back virus infections.

  12. Re:What am I paying for? on Mandrakelinux 10.0 Community Ready For Download · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You don't pay for those software, you pay to have someone put it together for you. Hack, if you are willing to wait, you don't even have to pay or you can go with Linux from Scratch project and put it together yourself.

    Wasn't that lawsuit dropped?

  14. Re:"News"forge? How about Conjectureforge. on SCO Consultant S2 Strategic Consulting In Depth · · Score: 1

    I'd trust you but since you posted on slashdot, I can't, but if I can't trust you, your statement must be true but you posted on slashdot... My head hurts.

  15. Re:A little too obvious? on SCO Consultant S2 Strategic Consulting In Depth · · Score: 3, Interesting

    MS hired a PR firm to create "I switched from Mac to XP" advertisement but the PR firm ended up using a stock phone that was discovered rather quickly.

    I guess is that MS hired a middleman to funnel the money through to SCO and that middleman (S2) did half-assed job funneling the money.

  16. Re:"News"forge? How about Conjectureforge. on SCO Consultant S2 Strategic Consulting In Depth · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I guess you haven't read mainstream news lately. There are planty news articles that end with "The call to YYY from ZZZ company did not return the call.". Acording you your logic, most of the news stories out there would be "Conjecture and Hypothesis".

  17. MS got ripped off on SCO Consultant S2 Strategic Consulting In Depth · · Score: 1

    You'd figure this "S2" firm would've at least put up a half-way decent website and a team of Indian call center workers to answer phones for 50 mil.

  18. Re:Lawsuit Time! on Microsoft Customers Get No Bang for Buck · · Score: 1

    MS will just claim that the customers got their money's worth by going from XP to XP Reloaded and from Office 2002 (XP) to Office 2003.

  19. Re:Predictions... on Playstation 3 Already Won the Next Gen Battle? · · Score: 1

    Maybe that's why the game makers have more incentives to produce CD/DVD-ROM based games than cart based ones.

    I would be like SCO throwing in a Linux license with every Happy Meal and claim that it sold a billion Linux licenses.

  21. Re:RMS is going down in history on RMS & FSF Directors To Meet With FSF Members · · Score: 1

    Ask people on the street about IBM or Microsoft and most will be able to tell you something about them. Ask them about RMS, FSF, GPL, software patents, etc, and they will look at you funny. Geeks make up a very small percentage of the voting group and only way for the average citizen to hear about our issues is through big lawsuits like SCO vs. IBM.

  22. Re:RMS is going down in history on RMS & FSF Directors To Meet With FSF Members · · Score: 2, Insightful

    SCO is claming that GPL is invalid, so how can this lawsuit be a mere footnote? If IBM wins, RMS could be a giant in the history books. If SCO wins, Darl will be a giant in the history books and RMS will be a mere footnote (as a loser).

  23. Re:Fighting SCO/pounding one's head on granite on RMS & FSF Directors To Meet With FSF Members · · Score: 1

    Because bashing SCO is fun. Why do people play games, because it's fun. Why do people have sex? Because it's fun (oh and that procreation part, too).

    Playing video games costs money and having sex costs money for some slashdotters, but SCO bashing is free (as in beer and freedom) because it's our God given right. In fact, I like to thank Darl for sacrificing himself for the amusment of others.

    "taking property rights away from the individual and giving them to society as a whole."

    I think that you should actually read the words on GPL. For example, how does GPL control the useage by the end user? Perhapes in the redistrubution but not in the useage. Second, GPL does not take property rights away as the creator must chose to use GPL.

  25. Re:RMS is going down in history on RMS & FSF Directors To Meet With FSF Members · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ?If the GPL is going to change history, I have yet to see it."

    It could be sooner than you think. (SCO vs. IBM)
