OK, then do what telcos used to do with early electronic exchanges: Set up a log printer that prints everything to fan-fold paper. Paper has a 6000 year history of being archive quality and convenient to use. Then you neatly stack the boxes in a damp basement...
The gist of it: "Magistrate Wells supposes that the court orders and rules are for no other purpose than to be broken."
Essentially, SCO asked for information and IBM responded with a deluge of 340,000 documents. SCO is unable to process the information and the magistrate is getting annoyed.
You must either be very young or a troll. MS used unfair business practices to establish and expand its monopoly. In essence, it squashed all competition through exclusive business deals and then raised its prices to exploit the cornered market.
You should look at the Netscape, Corel, Novel and SCO law suits to see the pattern. MS has been found guilty of these predatory business practices in several countries. Those countries are now using their anti-monopoly laws to redress the issue and restore a fair market situation.
If MS acted responsibly and still established a monopoly situation, then nobody would have bothered them, since a monopoly in itself is not illegal.
Unless the penalty for noncompliance is very large, it may be cheaper to ignore the law. Also, complying with the law would probably expose an ISP to more legal risk than noncompliance would.
Market the product at hugely inflated prices to early adopters. Change the system slightly and tell the early adopters about the fantastic new features in the new product. Sit back and sell the same product to the early adopters all over again.
The trouble is that unlike Canada, the USA doesn't have sufficient numbers of senior citizens that can read and count the votes - the result of decades of failed public schooling...;-)
Yup, I agree wholeheartedly. I don't think things were purposely rigged. The software bugs did the rigging all by itself. Bush probably won because his surname was first in the alphabetical list of candidates.
The problem with pencil and paper, is that unlike all other democratic countries, the USA doesn't have a sufficient supply of senior citizens who can actually read, write and count the votes. This problem is the sad result of a century of public schooling...
Well yeah, it is just a friggen cash register. Any touch screen restaurant style POS system can be set up to do the job, but there is no money in that. To make money, you need to convince the politicians that you need new hardware and that adding a printer to the thing is very difficult...
I can feel your pain. However, things have started to change roundabout December 2005. If you join your local UNIX and Linux user groups, then you are sure to get consulting work at rates of USD40 to USD70 per hour. Obviously rates are negotiable depending on the expected duration of the relationship.
Hmm, in real life, you can take on a tank with cavalry on horseback. Given enough horses, you can overwhelm the tank crew with too many moving targets to handle, then climb on the tank, open the hatches and shoot the guys inside. That has been done by the Poles during the second world war. However, you will lose a lot of cavalry in the process.
In the USA, lots of things happen in lawyer's offices, which in other countries, would happen in a lower court. Typically a court stenographer would be present.
Well, the sun is a thermonuclear explosion, so there is a lot of crud flying away from it. Some particles are quite massive and not as fast moving as photons. As I understand it, it is mainly this slower moving smoke that will be used by a sail.
I'm sure the Police Chief is on the blow horn with the department all the time, so he should get the first camera - in his bedroom and livingroom - since that is surely where most calls are made from...

No, in those cases, the parent can decide for the child.

...and I always thought that Microsoft make Mickey mouse computer systems...
Modern military backhaul systems are always transmitting - they never stop. When they are not sending useful data, they send random data.

No, these countries are just taking back some of the money that MS stole from their citizens through unfair business practices and inflated prices.

Write the logs to hundreds of thousands of unmarked CDROMs and chuck them down an elevator shaft for safe keeping...

The 'early adopters' are the insane people. I'm not even an early adopter of the stuff I design myself!

Given the wide spread infestations of malware, most Windoze machines also work better when turned off...

Isn't geo-thermal nuclear too?
Simple - you put the radio active waste back in the hole where you got the radio active fuel from in the first place...
