Linux is OpenSource. Anyone can be an OpenSource developer. We could all sign the NDA, see what we are actually being accused of and then we can make some actions about it.
I don't supose there is any chance that the code SCO claims was copied by IBM was actually copied by Novell and made available for OpenSource is there? Being as Novell has the right to do as it pleases with its code and all
We don't know, because SCO have consistently failed or refused to publicised which section(s) of code are those they claim have been stolen, on the (exceptionaly) tenuous rationale that it will get covered up
How exactly does one cover up what is and isn't in Open Source software, SCO? explain that to us, g'wan
ps. how many of todays slashdot readers know what ^H means?

Anyhow, to respond to your point - independently test bedding M$ updates certainly sounds like a good idea, but it either means 1- A seperate testbed machine or 2- using a standard machine for the process.
1- requires a fair ammount of money in the company, while 2- still has the possibility of nixxing one machine
Possibly becoming more of an Oxymoron than Microsoft Works?
So not only does this intended 'fix' not do its job, but it also prevents.net access entire? any word on what they are doing for the 600,000 people who got their access fried?
There is no way of either truly confirming or denying this. Microsoft won't, i am prepared to bet, actually say what they are working on, and Very few people trust M$ to be telling the truth. End discussion, really.
The benefits, however, are enormous and noticeable, particularly on a carrier's balance sheet. Telus stands to substantially lower its operating and capital costs with the new infrastructure, and will be in a position to offer customers new business services that can combine voice, video and data. "We literally have three infrastructures," says Pathak, explaining that separate networks exist today to carry phone calls, Internet and data services, and video. "The goal is to merge into one simple platform.
So their ultimate plan is to have Video, Phone and Data linked into the same system? An Extreme bandwidth use, but one that would raise some hopes of breaking down the current 'methods of communication' fragmentation and simply leaving us with one single, integrated, communications method.
Now that raises all sorts of possibilities in terms of remote conferencing, especially as the younger, technically proficient generations move into higher echelons of the decision making process in government and corporations.
Turnabout is fair play it seems. No more than 5 years ago, I was using a phone line to access the internet. Soon i'll be using the internet to make telephone calls.
Slashdot Mirror
They are now down past the 20% fall for one days trading - below $7
:)
And this has all happened since the end of the conference call
Novell rise 4% today as well
All in all, today ranks as one of the better days for the open source community at large i think
SCOX dropped by 5% since the end of the conference call.
NOVL risen by roughly the same amount over the same period of time.
IBM holding steady.

Why don't we all sign the NDA?

Any likelyhood of someone getting an unedited Transcript (or better yet, an audio file) of that conference call online?

It's still a good idea though
Have you ever tried getting hold of an actual human being at Microsoft by phone? Next to impossible, they allways want e-mail notification.
.net access to send e-mail.. duh
Now, what was that old thing about having to have
Possibly becoming more of an Oxymoron than Microsoft Works?
.net access entire? any word on what they are doing for the 600,000 people who got their access fried?
So not only does this intended 'fix' not do its job, but it also prevents
Repeat after me 'fdisk, format, reinstall'
Useful, but possible denial of Service attacks by overloading the mail-server with mail?
I want someone to make this a reality.

Any ideas on what OS is used to control this?
