as far as posting a link for people to complain to the SEC about SCO's actions and how they are just to increase stock value... Great, just what we need. The SEC getting annoyed because 10k geeks decided to spam their form with anti-SCO propaganda.
A few submissions are fine, a flood, no. I am sure that they are well aware of what SCO is doing and watching closely.
duh. I figured this would be for one of a few things:
1) parents hiding it on an item that the child is likely to carry at all times.
2) for SMALL children who are going to/from school via bus/walking who wouldn't know to care about the tag that is tracking them.
3) I have recently been involved with saving two dogs crossing a busy 5 lane highway + divider. One of the dogs had a 1-800 # and tracking #. Called the #, found out the name of the animal with the tag and they even had a note about other animals it might be roaming with. The service contacted the owner who came and picked up the animals within minutes. The dogs didn't eat that tag, why this one?
I suppose that it is. It's also up to YOU to use the device. People are privacy concious are not going to use the system therefore you are fine.
Like any government agency is going to give a shit if M5 driving Joe Richblow is tagging his kids to make sure they get off the bus and make it to school.
my ETrex Vista GPS unit will track things down to 3 ft or so. It typically does not work inside (in my apt. anyway) and even if it does, it's at like 40 to 60 ft.
GPS tracking for your keys wouldn't be terribly useful at that range.
exactly, are they in the running for top P2P application? Do we have to beat out the numbers for Kazaa (which is just more fodder for the RIAA to prove that piracy is a REAL BIG problem)?
Not only that, but unless the information returned via CD includes the research FOUND that related to that search query how would this be beneficial? You would still have to search through the results CD and then download the research.
I'm sorry but google.com usually gives me what I want (to the T) on the first page of results.
This doesn't sound like something that would come out of the brains at MIT.
Once the 2.6 series is out of its "testing versions" it is considered STABLE.
Other than a few cases, I have never had a problem moving to a new STABLE kernel.
Sure, using 2.5.x might not be such a fantastic idea (2.1.xxx's were ugly, I never even bothered with 2.3.x's and certainly not 2.5.x's) but 2.6.x should be fine.
Let's use your analogy of email to your home (it's not a good one but we can use it).
You are getting EMAIL to your Internet account (you consider this a spammer entering your home). I consider it an unlocked arena with no KEEP OUT signs.
It's his right to enter the arena just as it is the arena's owner/managment to block his entry.
I have said it before and I will say it again...

In Pursuit Of A Spammer

While I hate spam in my inbox I don't see how (at this current point in time) they shouldn't be allowed to send it to you (regardless of the rules that some ISP sets).
It's their right to send it and it's your right to block it.
The fact of the matter is that an XBox has TV-out and excellent graphics and sound cababilities.
Walmart machines do not.
People want to use the XBox as a multimedia center for their living room. A quote from another article related to this one (I refuse to read NYT) said something along the lines of, "the XBox looks excellent next to a TV in your living room, it's more silent than a typical PC, and its small form-factor make it perfect. Not exactly what Bill Gates had envisioned."
how about the fact that artists are charging a shitton to see their shows? Tickets for DMB here are $51+. While I agree he tours a lot and is somewhat talented (I preferred his old stuff) I don't think that he's worth $51.
In 1999 I saw him in Cincinnati for $27.50 who the hell decided that he was worth $25 more?
Finally, though Microsoft is not mentioned, people might start to understand what a monoculture of poor quality software enables."
Umm, no they won't. First of all, very few people would notice the article in the first place. Second, people who did notice wouldn't know what to do to protect themselves (not supporting MS isn't an option for 90% of the computer users in the world). Third, was the comment necessary?
other than the fact that they are going to be moving at 1000 ft/s, and the fact that they are going to be exposed to temperatures WELL below what any human should desire, nevermind their strange choice to rely heavily on accurate weather reports, why would you think this is crazy?

again, our personal beliefs about the copyright system are IRRELEVANT.
If they are granted a copyright and they choose to enforce it, it's up to the people being sued for non-compliance to prove that SCO is wrong.
Are the 5% of NORMAL computer users going to pony up the $1500 licensing fee to continue legally using it, I highly doubt it.
They obviously believe that they can defeat the GPL in court.
this is all irrelevant. They applied for a copyright and were given it. That means that ALL SysV code is owned by them.
If Linux is using SysV code (which apparently it is) then they can enforce licensing of that.
Their actions against the community means NOTHING. Smear campaigns, "extortion", whatever, does NOT matter.
They own copyrights, they enforce them, we pay.
unfortunatly, no matter how we feel about this, they are doing it legally.
If they own the copyrights to SysV code then they can enforce them as they see fit.
If they can prove that Linux infringes upon those copyrights, then they will be able to charge for its use.
And please don't say copyright law is crap, we all know it, but it doesn't make it any less valid/enforcable.
of course it's an option. Read the Changelog, upgrade necessary utilities, and install the new kernel.
yeah, the frequent connection dropping, the high latency, and the fact that it's just pointless to use IPv6 when 99% of people are using it via IPv4.
yeah, those 300ms pings to the server really make it advantagous to use ipv6.
exactly, are they in the running for top P2P application? Do we have to beat out the numbers for Kazaa (which is just more fodder for the RIAA to prove that piracy is a REAL BIG problem)?

it could be the fact that he is believing he will regain his top 10 richest men in the world spot.
I would be smiliing like fucking crazy if I thought I was sitting on the $100 billion winning lottery ticket #.
I found the animation (while small in size) to be rather boring and slow-paced. I suppose that was the point.
.02
The animation was VERY well done and the sound-effects and graphics were actually pretty amazing.
The story-line was slow and didn't hold my attention.
While I appreciate the artistry it wouldn't be good for the mainstream unless the pace was quickened.
Just my worthless
an email address is not private property. Why do you think that it is?
I will continue to argue the point that it is open season until REAL/DECENT legislation is passed that makes it illegal.
I disagree.

nah, they just create them out of thin air. Or is that they just disappear into thin air? Something like that.

their lives will depend on exquisitely accurate weather forecasts
They're doomed.
