"I have called SCO three times, and each time, an operator took my contact info and said I would get a call back. But I have heard nothing. The operator said there were legal concerns that have held up the release of the licenses," Sandine said. "I was told that as soon as the concerns are resolved and the licenses are released for purchase, the sales staff will begin returning calls."
That looks to me like SCO don't want to take any money yet because if the court case comes against them they will have screwed themselves over and be open to accusations of extortion
The artical dosen't mention putting a bios chip in the wrong way round that will fry the chip knakering the computer and leaving a nasty burnt plastic smell. Result.
A very good reson to get of this planet and colinize somwhere else. on this matter i announce my plan to build a space ship with a cloning lab on board to save humanity any money should be pledge to
That sounds a bit like like the bloke who (claimed to have)found a way of running a car from water, with a few additives of course.
He had his research bought and was employed by a big truck company CAT i think, anyway I saw him on tommorrows world driving a truck around a track whilst being run only on water althought they never gave you any evidence all you saw was truck going round and round. this was about 8 or more yeas ago and i havn't seen anything about it since was it real and covered up a hoax or what.
At my work place you need to fill in the same form that you use to apply for accses in the first place and you need to put alot of identifying info on with user id being the least of these. then you get your line manager to sign plus a Higher executive officer then the environment owner and finally the sys admin signs it
Companies with draconian licensing terms will slowly learn that people won't put up with it.
Problem is most people don't even know what a license is, most of those I ask presume it is just a copyright notice or something similar and just auto agree everything
It's hard to envision a EULA under typical contract law because it isn't. In what other industry can someone be forced to agree with a contract that they haven't read and aren't given the option of reading until after you've paid. Now, the legality of this practice is questionable, but it is a free market
I have always though off EULA's as being similar to going up to a star asking them to autograph a piece of paper and then revelling that it's a contract giving you there royalties
On another note I remember someone doing his to OJ Simpson but in that case it was a piece of paper saying I did it.
Sontag warned users that ignoring SCO's requests to license the code in advance of a court case could be costly. "Those who have chosen to ignore the license are more in a situation of potential willful infringement," Sontag said.
In other words they have no confidence in there accusations and want to gouge people now
Card counting isn't a cheat it's a skill (provided it's done with out electrical or outside help)It's using your inteligence i have never played a game of blackjack inside or outside a casino that says you are not allowed to use your brain to win.
But it doesn't make it very fair to the casino or the other players
They should improve there skills not cheat which is what the electronics is about despite them claiming its to identify who the highest bidders are.
A tongue-in-cheek movie clip here Monday morning at the start of its SCO Forum 2003 event, purporting to show an average day in the life of McBride, consisted of actual footage of Pierce Brosnan from a James Bond movie.
In his keynote address, McBride explained that there are striking similarities between SCO over the past year and a Bond movie. "The past year had been much like a Bond movie, with attacks and counter attacks, but in the end Bond never dies," he said to applause.
from the above Darl "Walter Mitty" Mcbride seems to have a little problem telling Reality from Fantasy.
I can't live on what they pay Indian tech people. I can't afford groceries on those wages (and I eat cheap!), to hell with car payments/bus tokens, insurance, my mortgage, or any of the other costs of living my life. And this doesn't even include ANY luxuries like TV, Internet, clothes, pets, etc...
but also you and those in the same boat can't buy the product there offering. eventually it could come round and bite them on the arse so when all the the money is the company coffers there is no one left to buy what they offer
Hmm i have started taking a line with anoymous cowards that unless they have an obviouse reson to AC then they are lying because that's the only option left. i can see no obviuse reson you AC'd lossing a job is not one. Also why would you teach someone who is taking your job how to do it that's like shooting yourself in the foot.
Damn... Then I guess we haven't even "won" in L.A. yet!
Good point with gun laws as they are most of America is a loss at the moment
making guns legally available to buy for home protection is great until that phsycotic weirdo down the road gets one.

How is it legal to sue someone only 12 years old? i thought 15 was the age of criminal responsibilty i n most countries.

This is one to make you shake Windows ME the only operating system endorsed by the devil
But you will be able to despite how hard it is try getting someone to fix a 3.1 problem (shudders at the memory of 3.1)
They force you by making sure the last copy has to many bugs to make it as usefull
Torvalds: Hey, until they can be bothered to show something real, I don't think it's even worth discussing

Has anyone heard of the epposite efect were a film that had a small ADvertising campaign and bigger than expeted box office takings?
M$ didn't have anything to do with the worms exept for there sloppy codeing allowing them to happen
But it doesn't make it very fair to the casino or the other players

and sometimes with the help of other people.
Now that is cheating
