How do they get by making them experimental? How is this ebuild any different than the 2.6.3 ebuild? All it does is download and extract the archive. You still have to configure and install yourself.
SCO has a "special" licensing cost for companies who license other non-UNIX-like operating systems. For each Linux tax, they charge $43 million. So MS bought 2 licenses.
"When Microsoft was asked specifically whether it or any of its employees played a role in connecting SCO to BayStar, the company declined to comment."
Microsoft did not fund BayStar. Microsoft funded an employee, who then funded BayStar. They are covering their money trails.
Microsoft answers a couple questions and then "declines to comment". We know Microsoft is not lying here. CNet asked the perfect question, as now we know Microsoft employee(s) funded BayStar to fund SCO.
It is not going to happen with politics involved. Do you think the U.S. government cares how much it spends when it means more corporate campaign contributions?
First, there are 4 Commonwealths as far as I know. So how many states are there? 46. A nice trick question. Virginia, Penn., and Mass. are three, but I can't remember the third.
Second, Penn State is in State College (a full hour from Harrisburg). You have to stress that it is out in the middle of nowhere.
Third, we are known for our football team, even when they suck.:P
In what industry in the U.S. can you pay "highly educated workers" minimum wage? Why should programmers (scientific/mathematic people) be paid $5.15/hr?
I say, let them pay their way through the political process so they can outsource our jobs. Then they can pay people oversees, realize that to keep their productivity, they'll have to hire 20 programmers to do one's job, and then come begging back with more money.
These companies are not looking long term. First they tried customer support oversees and now they are trying programming. I've never seen a degree, Computer Programming. It is Computer SCIENCE, not Computer Copy/Paste. Thought and innovation is involved. You don't see R&D being outsourced very often, because it would be stupid. It requires smart people. As does Comp Sci (at least for real projects).

I am just wondering why Gentoo (which I use) put 2.6.4 in the "~x86" architecture when all "emerge development-sources" does is download and extract.

Maybe they can track it with Bill Gates's famous "email tracking" technology that was tested several years ago and is continually tested today.
PS: If I get that stupid email one more time...

wow, wow, wow, wow, wow. It deserved 5 wows.

I believe Gentoo 2004a does. Before that, it was as easy as "emerge development-sources", configure, build, copy to "/boot", and configure grub.
All I know is that I should be going to AutoZone instead of Advanced Auto Parts. Thanks SCO!
Apache isn't GPL'ed. It is ApachePL'ed, which I believe allows the closing of source and distribution.

So. Opportunity travel 75 feet in depths of over 2 feet of sand every day to and back from studying its rocks. And it liked it!
It's like at christmas:
"This gift is nice." means this gift isn't really that good.

That reminds me of job postings that require 10 years experience in Java Web Services.
Delivering papers for 6 cents / paper in -30 degree weather (-50 wind chill) at 6:00 AM on a day when school was cancelled.
Screech made a love detector over a decade ago. He even proved that peanut butter and jelly aren't very affectionate toward each other.
Earth is mapped, near real time, to about 1 foot with military satellites.
Why finish your degree when you will just go up there to die anyhow, unless you have great survival skills, in which case, why finish your degree?
Couple mistakes...
:P

Maybe if we pay off the national debt, the government can afford to subsidize companies hiring U.S. works.

They are just going to realize how stupid outsourcing a scientific field really is. Which brings me to a mandatory Airplane! quote:

I thought it was from December 9th. That would mean they need to come out with it on the 8th.
Did they seriously end the letter in "Yours truly" fashion? Talk about double meaning...
