Excellent point. Except that he is only getting a fraction of the revenue, not the whole thing; and it's a one time payment. So he is disconnected from any liability, unless he knew it caused cancer.
I still use shorts and unsigned shorts (and for measure, chars and unsigned chars) for 'for' loops that are guaranteed to be small. There's no reason to take up 2 extra bytes of memory.
These people are smart because once it is proven that SCO sold something that wasn't theirs, they can sue SCO for even more money (pain and suffering or something)...assuming SCO isn't backrupt by then.
You have some valid points, but it will be quite difficult to have Firefox start up very quick unless they keep the application in memory like IE. This has been done, but I don't think they've put this "feature" in Firefox.
Also, the taskbar is not tabbed browsing. Can you go to slashdot and single (middle) click on all the articles you want to read, allowing them to load in the background for later viewing? In IE, you have to right click, then click "open in new window", then that page is loaded above your current page. It is better and more efficient to do your tasking in groups, and selecting articles you want to read before reading any of them is not efficient in IE.
Although IE has a popup blocker, I don't trust it, as I think MSN has popups. The blocker may be biased, and hasn't been tested in the real world. But maybe I'm wrong here.
I don't care about whether a product is OSS, but Firefox does the right job for browsing the web as a developer or general end user. I also think Linux right for a developer, but not for the general public, but that's another issue.:)
It's not about the NFL as much as it is about Fox and CBS. Each week, one of these networks gets to play two games (1:00 and 4:00) and other can only get one game.
Let's say Fox has 2 games and you watch CBS's only game at 1:00 in your area. The contract that Fox and CBS has says that at 4:00 in your area, Fox will have the only game on TV. That means revenue with an increased audience.
As stupid as this sounds, if someone gets a 4:00 game streaming from someone else's TiVo, it takes away from Fox's 4:00 audience, and they lose money.
It would be near-free, or become a public utility, if we could build more nuke plants. Nuclear technology is much more advanced than it was even 10 years ago. However, I don't mean to flame, but tree-huggers are preventing this from happening.
Surprise. Is one entity only allowed to contribute $2000? Gates, Ballmer, and George Sr. have each contributed $2000. Did MS's other 1000+ employees magically contribute $2000 too?

I think the article should have said:
Imagine taking a photo of a chick and finding out what her phone number is.
Excellent point. Except that he is only getting a fraction of the revenue, not the whole thing; and it's a one time payment. So he is disconnected from any liability, unless he knew it caused cancer.
Sounds like the good olde' U. S. of A.
I noticed that too. Nothing like a bit of redundancy.
On another note, we may lose 2.6 ms, but we gain 15 ms every year because of the gravitational pull of the moon, so it is inconsequential.
I second that. You should know how, whether you know you will or not. If you know how the computer internals work, then you'll write better code.
An non of the SCO management either.

you mean Y65K?
2^16 (or unsigned short in C++ on x86), stores values from 0 to 65535

Look to the name of author and judge for yourself on whether this report (which probably isn't a lie) is heavily biased: "Urvaksh Karkaria".

It is stupid, but that is the reason.
He could call it, "Spaceballs 0: The Search For Spaceballs 2: The Search For More Money"
"You two, fight to the death." -- Stewie
these guys have upped the ante from merely committing fraud to uttering death threats and financial extortion/blackmail
I think SCO already beat them to that.
"Bill Gates will send you $$$ if you send this to 10 of your friends....or else your computer will explode, killing you!"
You probably got scammed out of $39750. I was lucky enough to realize a fourthy thousand dollars is only $250. You sucker....(dead)
Or send them some of your hair in an envelope and say, "To save you the trouble, I snipped myself. See the enclosed hair."
Congratulations! That's the first 'Beowolf' comment (of the millions I read) that I actually laughed at.
Is this with Mozilla Firefox 0.8+ or with Mozilla Seamonkey M14?
Does this anti-spam article have anything to do with the SPF lifeguards on Son of a Beach?

But I thought Visual Studio .NET let you "visually design"? So he's saying that I paid $1,800 for just a compiler and debug tools?

- Linux does what developers want. Windows does what Microsoft wants.
- Unless what you want is to copy and paste between applications, in which case the opposite is true.
Both have their flaws, but I just happend to think that Linux beats the pants out of MS, but maybe that's because I'm a developer.
