Yes, SLS was there before. I think I still have a set of SLS disks somewhere.
When SLS died (in 1993, I think), I switched over to Slackware, excatly because it was so similar.
The new technology is called SOAP, which stands for Simple Object Access Protocol. It is essentially RPC using XML to encode parameters. There actually is an RFC draft for it.
At least they don't run Windoze. Netcraft reports: www.channel-one.de is running Apache/1.3.6 (Unix) mod_perl/1.19 ApacheJServ/1.0b5 mod_ssl/2.3.0 OpenSSL/0.9.3 on Solaris
The Hamburg patent lawyers Hauck, Graalfs, Wehnert have registered the trademark "Linux" with the German patent office. This was acknowledged today by a member of the law firm following an inquiry by c't. The trademark protection is also reported by the publication "Deutsches Markenblatt". Linux is listed in issue #36 from 9.9.1999 (page 9919) under the document reference 399 36 517,6 in the software category. It is unclear for what reasons the trademark owner Roy Boldt registered the trademark. The CEO of the German management consulting company ChannelOne was not available for comment despite several attempts to reach him by telephone. It is unclear at this time if this is a new case of trademark grabbing, or if Boldt wants to act unselfishly like an Austrian holder of a Linux trademark (Note of translator: the Austrian guy handed the trademark over to Linus). However, Boldt can't be sure of the trademark rights of "Linux" just yet. According to US law, the trademark is owned by Linux-Father Linus Torvalds, who had to go to court to get the rights.
At this time, the outcome of a comparable case in Germany would be uncertain. According to the German patent office, trademark law ends at the respective country's borders. The next couple of weeks will show how the saga continues. The period to file objections against the trademark registration of the word "Linux" runs until December 9, 1999. Up to that date everybody can claim a so-called "relatives Schutzhindernis" (Translator's note: basically, claiming prior use). The patent office is prepared to these claims. The form "W7202" to use for claiming objections is already available online.
Well, that is Austrian, which is quite a difference. Here are a couple links (in German): http://www.heise.de/newsticker/data/avr-02.09.97-0 00/ http://www.linux-verband.de/Linux-R/linux-r.html
Learn the facts before you spew out such BS. The salary has to match what the government deems the "prevailing wage" in the industry. You can raise the salary bar as much as you want. Maybe a couple more Americans would go and get an education, but this is going to take a couple years. I do not think that the industry has time to wait for that. BTW, I have an H1-B, and I am one of the highest-paid people in the company. If anything, there should be more H1 issued to overcome the shortage. Your argument in your last sentence doesn't make sense at all. Skilled jobs ARE already exported, to countries with cheaper labor, basically because of the H1-B restrictions in this country.
Well, there is more to this. The bill text (http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/D?c105:4:./te mp/~c10541pyZs:e32892:) states: (2) COVERED INFORMATION- The following information shall appear at the beginning of the body of an unsolicited commercial electronic mail message under paragraph (1): (A) The name, physical address, electronic mail address, and telephone number of the person who initiates transmission of the message. (B) The name, physical address, electronic mail address, and telephone number of the person who created the content of the message, if different from the information under subparagraph (A). (C) A statement that further transmissions of unsolicited commercial electronic mail to the recipient by the person who initiates transmission of the message may be stopped at no cost to the recipient by sending a reply to the originating electronic mail address with the word `remove' in the subject line.
I still have to see a spam message with name and phone # of the spammer... The Congress website also indicates that this bill passed the Senate, but not the House.
I knew this for some time already. A SCO representative showed a demo to the local Unix user's group last year, and he mentioned the so-called 'Linux compatibility layer' in the upcoming release of Unixware 7. The irony of course is that Linux has its own SCO binary compatibility modules, iBCS. Apparently there are now more apps for Linux than for SCO.
I may be biased, but it is my experience that people without college degree tend to write bad code. This is the Microsoft way: up until at least Win3, what came out of M$ was badly hacked stuff. All the things we still endure, like BSoD, have their roots in bad design. And designing software is what you are supposed to learn in college. Programming is still important, and you can learn that without college, but coming up with a decent design is what distinguishes people with degree. One limitation: I was educated at a European university. American colleges may be different.

This is not exactly news anymore. The Industry Standard had an article about the topic on June 11: Guns, Money and Cell Phones

Where have you been?
M$ sold Softimage a couple years ago.

Does ID plan to do simulation games like flight simulators?

Trademark law is national.
Yeah, and have your password transmitted in clear text to your ISP. If you didn't know, this is the biggest drawback of POP3. Use IMAP instead.
