Section 2c of their EULA states.."Skyper reserves the right to add additional features

Except that they'd find that there wouldn't be very many people left over here to buy the RIAA's stuff.
That hits the nail on the head. Haven't we all heard reports of the billions of dollars teens have to spend?
Well it seems that RIAA is targeting their main audience. This study shows "young people in the US, ages eight to 21, have annual incomes totaling $211 billion as of June 2003, representing an annual spending power of $172 billion. The interesting part of this is that by the age of 13, "parent supplied" income drops from 87% to 37%. As well online spending by "young people between the ages of 13 and 19 spend at the greatest rate of any other age group in what Harris refers to as "Generation Y," with a rate of $94.7 billion annually." Wow, that is a lot of money RIAA seems to be ignoring.
The other problem for RIAA is that they seem to be ignoring some of their customers, those over the age of 36. "It's important to note that this group of mature consumers represents 45 percent of all CD sales". The report points to the problems of the big chains pushing the popular stuff and not carrying the music the older crowd would want to buy.
That is a good point. Considering the articles about this go on about account holders getting sued and not even downloading anything themselves. Unless of course it was the media putting a spin on the story and trying to sell some papers.
As an aside, a Google search of sued points first to the EFF article, "How Not To Get Sued By The RIAA For File-Sharing".
I know I have seen fuel explosions that look like a mushroom cloud (sure it is not as BIG as a nuclear explosion). It was shaped like a mushroom, I call it a mushroom.
Oh and Hydrogen explosions do pack a wallop. Hydrogen explosion at a Petro Canada refinery near Toronto. "The explosion sent a fireball into the sky, blew out windows in nearby homes and the force of the blast shook houses kilometres away."
So I wasn't the only person watching this show? I'd watch Alo, then Red Dwarf. Thank God for PBS letting us watch some great TV that otherwise wouldn't make it over here. (and before it caught on)
It didn't take days to figure out that Highlander 2 was bad. Watching people coming out of the early matinee on opening day making "barfy faces" saying "Highlander 2, The Sickening". It was enough to make me ask for my money back before I walked in.

The Google calculator let me down on that one. Sorry.

How about a "Commodore 64 @933" and an ITX-64
AOL 2. Their answer to Internet 2?

Man, am I glad I called that guy.

That is a big Volkswagen.
What SCO is doing more sounds like the old fake invoice and hope people pay up without noticing they are being conned. How is this different?
Now considering this is NASA, has anyone gone back to make sure it wasn't the Mars mission guys who did the calculations?
Now that you mention it, I miss AOL floppies.
Ah Ha! It is actually a fiendish plot carried out by none other than Professor Chaos and his trusty sidekick General Disarray!
The real question: How to overclock a diamond ring?
But hey, a new market for tiny cold cathodes.

And hey, no cell phones, sms or blogs required.
Why did the Red Dwarf theme music just start playing in my head?
I think it is a bit more ethical than those supposed "RPC error" messages that just happen to have a link to a "fix" included.
Heh, I can get OS2 not running on a lot of hardware :)
I guess an emulator would take care of running any other OS on a PS2, if vmware or any other could run.
hmmm, MAME on a PS2....
They missed one:
Reginald C Broughton, Millionaire. I own a mansion and a yacht.
That is exactly what they do. Technet Security Notifications.
I hope you aren't violating any IP with that program, many examples of prior art exist.
..or you could sue them for DMCA violations.
I can see the SCO lawyers...
Lawyer #1 "So what does it say?"
Lawyer #2 "Blah blah blah SCO violates IBM patents" [Thud]
Lawyer #1 "Uh oh"
