Yup. And Varisign will LOVE slurping up those.mail fees, too. By the way, Varisign is in the process of trying to destroy ICANN, which by itself would not be a bad thing *IF* ICANN's responsibilities shifted to the UN. But I'm sure that has zero chance of reality.
The 600 mil is nothing to M$, but what *IS* something to Microsoft is the EU's ruling that Microsoft can charge fees to use the APIs. The EU decision is a WIN for Microsoft.

which he feels has a largely political or sentimental function.
This argument comes up all the time. The problem with it is, we are not Spok. We do things because of emotions and feelings and that thing within us. There is nothing at all wrong (and everything right) about doing manned space because of sentimental function.
This will not be good for Red Hat, but that's the way things go with Karma. Red Hat has basically walked away from the very people that made it what it is (and please, don't give me the Fedora Project Bull Shit, that's as token as token gets). My prediction is that Red Hat will fade into the sunset, but we will not see it because they will be in Novell / SuSE and Big Blue's shadow.
Everything said in this thread is true. I know a guy (used to be my sister's BF) Made 100k+ just doing AC in Arazona and New Mexico in the sumers, came back up here to Washington State in the winters to do power windows.
I guess my comment was snide, but there is in fact a lot of money in servicing these new cars. And auto body? Yeh, it pays more than CS. Sad in a way, but also, there is the fact that ***ANY*** good craftsman should be paid well.
Any 15-year old kid who plays the latest games, watches DVDs, uses Office XP at school, and all that jazz... would NOT want to have the hassle of tweaking Linux just so he can print and have fun.
"Any 15 year old kid" is not the target. These are business machines.
OH COME ON! Flamebait? It's an old guy joke! If you've ever lived out on some acrage, you know what I mean. Walk your property line, have a smoke, take a pee on a fence post!
Than that's *your* choice. You where not talking about a DNS box, you where talking about optical disc technology. The two are not the same. Most people "understand" that new media technology requires new media reading technology.
Is this just a matter of updating the firmware and drivers, or do I yet AGAIN have to buy new equipment?
You say this like it's an unexpected bad thing. But suprise, as technology advances, you will have to buy new hardware to use it. Can I assume by your comments that you are still using a 5.25" floppy drive in your 386?
VA's 10Q does address that they own certain IP, trademarks, and other such assets, and will protect it's value, but I didn't see anything about outsourceing.
I think it's perfectly appropriate for a company to protect it's IP. The problem with SCO is that they don't own the IP that they are suing everyone over. Don't you think this is an important distiction?
Anyway, the VA 10Q is HERE.
If you bothered to read the article, or even the summary, you'd see that the RFC prepared by Mr. Eastlake is against a.sex top-level domain.
That's the point. What's your problem with.sex? That the kids will now ahve (even) liess problems finding the porn? Well if their finding and viewing the porn RIGHT NOW, and you don't like it, what are you doing about it RIGHT NOW? There is no down side to.sex at all. As far as the kiddies locating pron, they will find a way,.sex or not. It is left to YOU as a parent to be involved with your childrens Internet viewing to address this issue. If you MUST depend on The Government to raise your kids, perhaps you should not have had any.

Microsoft Eyeing AOL?

Microsoft would just be buying AOL. The content AOL has may not go with it if that happens.....
An interesting point. Didn't MSN just kill off all it's chatrooms because they where harvesting grounds for pedophiles? What of AOL's chatrooms then? After all, AOL is the prime location for all flavors of sexual strangness.
But I do think that IT managers, both public and private (as well as press) are now starting to see the issues. I'm not sure that the general public, even psudo-geeks and computer literate ones, even need to care much about it, other than communication to public officials that how our tax dollars are spent is important.
The is great. I suppose this might be a little "off topic" but I think it is due in no small part to the growing public awareness that has come about because of the SCO case. We are starting to see a much more critical eye from the press and public officials to FUD put out by anti-OOS pundits. This is in no small part to the fact that more than ever, the OSS position is more organized and sounds a lot less like a bunch of hippies frothing at the mouth against "big business". We (many of us) have known for a long time the benefits to society and by way of those that work in the Public Sector, bodies that are here to benefit society, the ideas behind OSS, but in the past these ideas have not been articulated in a way that is understandable to the non-geek, non-IT centered thought patterns. A good PowerPoint wouldn't hurt (joke). You have to tailor your arguments for your audience.
The short, unreadable syntax is meant for when you're doing those one-off scripts, or using perl like an old unix guy uses awk. As usual, the onus is on the programmer.
Many of those one-off scripts end up with lengthy lives all their own. PHP has a long way to go in many areas (namespaces, library vs. core functions) but many of the old arguments are just out of date. Also, Perl has a bad rep for ugly unreadable code because a significant number of Perl programmers write ugly unreadable code.
Does PHP have a good, high-quality templating system bundled yet?

Judging by your grasp of English, I think Auto Body and Paint was a good choice.
My guess is that they can *file* as many as they want. But yes, I think no Judge is going to rule until the IBM case is done.
Wow. All I can say is wow. A non-technical textbook that mentions IRC... Wow.
First problem is you are still using NetSol. Don't even worry about the 100 year thing.
Since Novell *owns* Unix, it sounds like the *nix direction is Linux.
