Have a look at my webstats for visiting OS's:

- I'll be updating it in the next few days to take account of August's numbers, but theres no great change in the mumbers already there. What will be interesting
is whether the Christmas period will perk up sales of Dell/Linux (I doubt it) and the post-Christmas period for Windows Vista SP 1 (slow uptake I guess)
....or replace it with a big fat grinning slug (Bill Gates face of course) sat on a toilet surrounded by print-out wielding cronies in suits and ties begging for a crumb of money, shares, or whatever vice these vile monsters crave.
It sounds bad, but imagine if this underling was fired for his "behaviour" and sued M$ for unfair dismissal. I imagine the resultant court case would really dish the dirt on this evil behemoth of a company.
I've seen pictures of the gouge on previous missions, and they were of a comparable size to this new one. So, thankfully, NASA
haven't panicked and issued all kinds of worrying proclamations when it wasn't worried in the past: why start now?
First of all, we have probably years of the obligatory appeals to wade through. It ain't over yet!
Secondly, how long do you think it will be before SCO shares become the subject of pump-and-dump spam emails?
Yes, but Brian May never indulged in strip bars. Shame.
When I did my PhD at York University, England, we had a 4 year deadline to finish out write-up. Yes, our research council
funding finished after 3 years, but stragglers were taking too long to write up and using up resources, so the physics
department, maybe the whole Uni (?), put a 4 year limit on it.
In the weeks before the successful relaunch of the STS program with STS-26, we in the UK had news broadcasts about deliberate sabotage to the O-rings of a forthcoming space shuttle launch (not STS-26 and probably not 27). Despite a suspect declaring her innocence on TV, we heard nothing more about it. Maybe this will go the same way?
Why not email some local (Gravesend, Kent) newspapers who can interview people and verify this story? Or failing that, theres the sun newspaper (shitty tabloid, but good at exposing scams), or the BBC's Watchdog show, which usually protects the consumer.
IF its a genuine story, then the people involved have nothing to fear, and the publicity on Slashdot will give them a huge publicity bonus. IF its genuine. IF.
Firstly: Microsoft takes a profit hit from not being able to sell legitimate copies of their software. Result: bad for Microsoft
Secondly: People get to use MS products for free, elbowing out others products, ie a vendor lock-in. Result: good for Microsoft.
Which will happen, do you think?
Slashdot Mirror
On-line relationships worked for me! I met my current lady through Love@Lycos - we've been together for 4 years and we're getting married in November!
....but you've probably seen theregister.co.uk lately?
....and is there any backwards compatibility with previous Office formats?
OK. How about Gates' face on the body of Jabba the Hutt, that Vile CrimeLord. Seems appropriate, no?

Do you mean "Sorry we got caught, wei'll try not to get caught doing it again"?
Declared void because someone voted twice? BULLSHIT! This is called CYA - Cover Your Ass.

From my website's own access logs, Firefox's useage isn't too bad at all: look Look here

So does this mean that the companies who paid for bogus Linux licenses from SCO can now apply for a reply. Let's hope so....

Don't forget that many of the original broadcasts from the Lunar surface are missing. http://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/artic le1218885.ece
Slow day for news??!! This was discussed in the book "Comet" by Carl Sagan in 1989 for heaven's sake!!

MSIE 6 - 5,380 - 37.61%
MSIE 7 - 3,733 - 26.10%
Firefox 2 - 2,526 - 17.66%
Firefox 1.5 - 829 - 5.80%
All other MSIE/Firefox contributions are less than 1&. So far, Win + Safari have made NO contribution to the stats.
....theres a reason why the problem with the JVM is not described. If it was, every cracker would be able to write an exploit pretty damn pronto!
This was reported on the internet super-crawl-way about 6 days ago!
Maybe we'll get some data on possibly extra solarplanets from this?
