He completely ignores the fact that incredible things have been accomplished in this age of gadgets he deems pointless. Does he really think the most inovative thing in this modern era is a wind up radio? What about genetic engineering, hybrid cars, nuclear fusion, nanotechnology, etc...?

No, AIX is seperate from SCO's Linux claims. AIX is just a version of Unix that SCO licensed to IBM. It has no relation to Red Hat or any other Linux distro.
I'm not so sure about that. Nintendo has a habit of making things hard for developers. They rarely use standard hardware. Remember how everyone was complaining about n64 cartridges being prohibitably expensive to develope on?
Instead of running the script once after everyone left, why not combine it with some kind of intrusion detector so that it only runs when there's suspicious activity. This would prevent accidently kicking people off and would actually stop attacks completely. You can't crack something that isn't connected after all.
Could anything more complex than a single celled organism get its own TLD? Hell, why not every single celled organism too? One for every molecule? sure thing!
As far as I can tell carpal tunnel syndrome occurs mostly in people with desk jobs that involve computers, not industrial work, which was mentioned as a possible cause in the study. If it's not keyboard use then what is it?
So they're gutting the profitable part of their business by getting rid of all ties with IBM involving Unix. Their genius never fails to astound me! IBM will be hurt slightly by this but SCO will be crippled, as I understand it. First they won't release the contraversial code and now this? They've basically killed their business even if they win.
But I doubt it'll do much good. Spammers constantly change their email addresses anyway and use services like hotmail which are hard to trace. It doesn't really matter if they're tipped off or not because of this. Secrecy benefits spammers, the less the public knows about them the more they thrive. If a large public investigation on them begins many of them will give up out of fear, even if only a few are caught.
I really can't think of a reason to use a text based browser on a tiny screen. It's a giant technological step backwards in terms of capability compared to surfing the web on a computer. A palm pilot or a tablet pc would be better for extremely portable web browsing. And who wants to play games on a mobile phone? Playing a game on one of those miniature keypads is knowing true frustration.
Microsoft has probably created around a dozen "standard" programming languages. Every single one was either utterly useless or horribly buggy. The world doesn't need another "standard" programming language. Having a standard programming language would probably hurt programmers due to the necessity to learn a whole new programming language. After all, most programming languages are good for specific tasks: Java for platform independent web enabled programs, Perl/cgi for network and web related tasks, C/C++ for most large scale programs and BASIC for beginning programmers. To try to create an overall programming language would be nigh impossible since it would have to incorporate all this from the ground up. It's much better to just stick with what already exists and works.
As a person relatively new to coding myself, I would suggest Java. With only about a page of code you can develop a small program. Lots of beginning programmers want to see actual results to their work and don't want to just deal with programs that simply mess around with derivatives of Hello World.
Also, Java is an object oriented programming language like C or C++. This way they won't have to learn an entirely new programming system when they start doing more advanced programming.
for programming Java on Windows I use Jedit, which is a freeware text editor specifically designed for coding java and can also be used for just about every other programming language.
to insure that all the computers will be able to be networked, you should set some guidelines for the type of computer and network protocol used. You don't want a bunch of people unable to play because they use some obscure computer type or network protocol. In my experience this is the kind of thing that absolutely needs to be specified. You could also just rent a bunch of cheap pcs with fairly standard ram and video specs just in case.
You also may want to specify some of the games that will be played so that at least everyone has a few games that everyone else has. If you really want to make sure that everyone has a few standard games, have some games like starcraft that have a multiplayer only and no cd option for installing on unlimited computers so that you always have a few games that everyone can have.
Now you can't design something without worrying that another company will hear of its existence and patent it with no intention of developing it.
Whatever claims people had that the current copyright and patent system work are refuted by this.
Companies could make their entire business collecting royalties from patents they will never use. The company would never need to produce a product to profit, relying instead on revenues from lawsuits and royalties. The company would probably only consist of Marketing and legal departments with a few inventors to make it look vaguely legitimate.
Oddly enough, this report focused on small companies doing this. I would think that large companies with powerful market research divisions and possibly knowledge of industrial espionage would benefit more from this than a small corporation.
I have to say that this article is obviously an attempt to use parents paranoia to sell their products. It all sounds so much like a FOX news headline. "Are your kids reading X-rated emails: more at ten". Sure, they have an important message to convey, but it's intertwined in a cheap advertisment for their spam filtering software.

putting nwn on all three major operating systems. I hope this will start a trend for Bioware.

Hong Kong was a quasi-state at the time ICANN made all of those up. I assume it was before England gave it back to China.
But then SCO sued them, claiming they found identical DNA between modern humans and their own species, homo erectus.
However, Vatican city is also technically a country, so it doesn't count.

Or you could follow linksys's lead and not mention it at all.
Don't imagine it as your house gone haywire. Imagine it as having your very own HAL.

I think I know what happened to that robot!

How am I supposed to type ctrl alt del when using Windows now.

Maybe that's how Microsoft got all its money.
C# good?!?! Well we won't have to worry about that trollbot.
You're saying a college student with little money should sacrifice his future for people like you.
That's real noble of you.
