  1. Re:*sigh* on IBM Subpoenas Intel Into SCO Fray · · Score: 1

    right. IBM wouldn't put those kinds of resources into SCO... it would be a money pit. which is why SCO has to find a way out of their own hole. I think (IANAL, et alii) that IBM is just throwing the court system around to prolong the thing until SCO can't do anything any more, but as has been covered in posts below, IBM may know something. I just don't see much ground breaking discovery coming from this.

    It will end when any of several things happen.

    1. SCO doens't have/want to spend the money necessary for the proceedings to continue
    2. SCO actually shows the evidence they claim they have, and it is, indeed, damning
    3. SCO figures out a way to get out of this mess scott free...

    But even then, the counter suits, and residual suits for damages, etc. This may be going on for a looooooooooooong time. When will it end is, indeed, a good question.

    why has the PC become synonamous with X86? AFAIK PC still stands for Personal Computer... I haven't questioned the trend before, the thought just struck me.

    I've had 2 relatives die with advanced alzheimers, and I got to watch it take over their lives. I still am against this sort of testing. I find it ethecially wrong for these scientist to, in effect, play God with human and animal hybrids. Cure for alzheimers or no; this isn't the way to do it. There has to be some other way. There's always another way.

    While it may not have been quite movie quality, the graphics on the N64 were quite amazing. I'm thinking of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (not too sure on the spelling, but you know what I'm talking about), IMO looked amazing.

    The point is, the N64 made some major advancements in console graphics.

    Will the video phones have half-megapixle video cameras? Camera phones, as you say, are pointless because you can't get any sort of use from the images (I know, better cameras are coming out for the phones, but video is something else altogether.)Will you be able to tell what you're looking at in these videos?

    That's (presumably) the selling point for video in phones.

    Look at market shares. If Mac OS or any of the POSIX OS's had the market share, then there would be just as many problems.

    Exactly. For me, Vectorworks just doesn't cut it. So until Autodesk releases CAD for the Mac again (maybe by the end of this year, I've read) I'm stuck using both systems. It's really frustrating... I'd love to be able to do my CAD work on my Powerbook... but no dice unless Audodesk is gracious enough to port again.

  22. PC makers are bad too... on Spam and Spyware Too Much for Some Users · · Score: 1
    The spyware problem is only made worse by Dell, e-Machines, et al. The systems come preloaded with spyware (Wild Tangent Web-drivers anyone?) and the (mostly useless) system restore disks have those same spyware programs in the images they use to restore.

    PC makers should be doing a better job with this...rather than ship PC's with spyware on it already, they should at lease ship them "clean."
