this is so ooold.. I created glofish before, I took a stick of radium and placed it next to the fish tank. the fish glowed for about 3 seconds, then the water started to boil, they instantly lost all their flesh and I became sterile.
if you understood dogs, you'd understand my joke. beagles are hunting dogs, however, they arent bright. you let them loose, you'll NEVER see them again..
except on the freeway, or in someone else's home. they catch a scent, and they'll follow it.
were visible with the naked eye a few weeks back when we had the fires here in southern california, the smoke was so thick, you could still see the sun, but not in its right glory, you could see the big sunspots as shown here: http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/sunspots/
We'd just gone through the acquisition of a major company (the Santa Cruz Operation's Unix business) that was extremely poorly managed.
so basically, now the Santa Cruz Operation people got in charge from what it sounds like. hence why they arent even managing sco anymore, they're just using lawyers to run the show, and they sit back, acting like they're in charge, you can tell how bad they are at management when they cant even run a software company, they just hire lawyers to run a litigation machine.
sad, really. I think we all know that darl probably came from the original SCO
well, I dont think it will be a default option, I think it'll be in there for you to use (I hope, I'm in the training program)
personally, I dont think many cisco techs would even know how to usei t properly in the first place, taht is, if half of them are cisco certified. I know some networks with cisco have microsoft certified people working on the routers, one australia isp I checked once had a elnet port open and it was to their main cisco router (isnt that supposed to be open to the internal network only?)
personally, I'd never enable the option. if I had to, I'd prolly only enable it for a windows-based segment of the network (mainly the office) and maybe that's what it's for, you can use it for certain segments of the network, and there are some anti-viruses that dont lag your machine down to the point of crashing. I also suggest that corporate offices use deep freeze, which is used at my school, it doesnt allow any modifications to be down to the system, and you can only save to your network drive. so far, no viruses have infected any of the machines at school (except the ones with misconfigured deep freeze setups, and of course, the main server itself. which they COULD replace with linux and samba.)
I switch numbers. one advantage of dialup. if one number goes down.. just switch to another, that and my isp is pretty stable. and if all fails.. I just do some misc. work or play a game, or go outside!
remember when computers were big enough to be in warehouses? and 10 years ago, people theorized that computers would be small enough to fit in your watch or hand? and that was just theory and considered fiction.
now we have palm pilots and watches that can store data (see the usb wrist watch)
so, really, a supercomputer that doesnt use that much energy isnt impossible. anything's possible, one just has to break through the set barriers technology has made. if no one did that, we still would be sitting around in caves.
the possible remnants of the.com boom prolly the extra people they didnt need. that and with systems that manage themselves better, you dont need as many techs, not to mention companies swarming to linux, you dont need 30 Microsoft certified people on the job anymore, that with the economy sag due to 9/11 is probably pretty much why that happened, and it isnt so much the tech industry, everyone's suffering.. we're at a 6% unemployment rate at the moment here in the US. which is steep for our economy. yeah yeah, I know there's tons of countries that have like a 90% unemployment rate, but that's not the issue.
I'm stating the reasons why that probably happened.. and it isnt isolated.
linux zealots are one thing, attacking bsd will awaken hordes of bsd zealots who can be just a brutal, if not more..
I think by then, he'll want to get real bodygaurds in place;)
I'm gonna laugh when these suits dont see light because SCO litigates (due to people not buying stock, and lawyers fees) themselves out of business, and do you think darl is gonna go down with the ship? nope, he's gonna sell his stock and take a few briefcases filled with cash and go to the bahamas before it does. I think all this is a final cry for attention before they start sinking...fast. they ahve prolly noticed that their stock is starting to plummet, so why not announce that they're now pulling another controversial lawsuit? if that doesnt work, then they're gonna be gone and a distant memory before you know it.
because the opensource community, as much as we have those "RTFM FUCKING N00B" people, is still generally much warmer and more human than a cold heartless corporation that hides everything they do, and would kidnap your mother and sell her to slavery to get what they want. (not literally, but you know what I mean) Torvalds is also a more human person, he seems to be friendly and more down to earth. whilst bill gates' mind is somewhere in the clouds with the mindset of he's more superior than god himself.
the real riches are human interest, and going by what people want, instead of telling people what they want and making software that attacks them and controls them.
I hav to laugh at the article because they treat opensource as if it were a business no one could see the soucre code of. torvalds and millions of others have access to opensource.. bill ates does.. and we all know he uses it on occasion for certain things (some aspects of winXP act almost like kde, but I'm not sure which came first there on features)
but they also might be going by the legal reasoning that big businesses cant use and profit off of GPL like they can with the BSD license. and I'm not going there since that'll start a huge war about licenses.
thing is, this is digging into the random, not thinking about what they might do to the planet they're gonna strip-mine like the earth, you dont know if there are any extra terrestrial organisms that ough have been able to survive space and get on say, the moon, or you dont know if ther are any poisonous elements on the moon yet, and with marios, there could be bacteria and disease there that could easily start the next plague.
insteado f making a big jump into this and saying "hey, let's go strip the moon and mars of resources and open them up to commercial enterprise!" allow scientific research to be done well beforehand.
seriously, how much influence on the world does china have except manufacturing 99 cent children's toys and other low budget items?
We dont have to use EVD's.. if they want to use them fine, let them. It's not like they mass produce movies for the whole like, say, the US does?
this is just a response to how many people are going on about how china's going to disrupt the international dvd format, etc.. we necessarily dont have to apply to their standards, it's mainly for their own nation and to those nations who find it useful.
I'm fine using VHS still. VHS doesnt jam up if it has a scratch in it (though it can jam up if you have a badly manufactured tape, but I've run into that like, once.) dvd's are an alternative IMHO. they're around to try to prevent piracy (yeah, that really worked well)
just my two cents on the situation, I dont see why people here are threatened by this.
kmail has a function where you can return an email that looks like an error. dunno how good it is anymore since spamware has gotten smarter, ando ften uses fake email addies. and temp accounts that spam about a few thousand emails.. then closes the account up and moves on.. I think the only way to solve this is to redo the smtp protocol, rewrite it and make it more secure to where it can find out where these emails come from, or implement more agressive filtering and prevent abuse.

the article's title made the riaa's head turn around and started thinking "lawsuit! LAWSUIT!"

it was interesting to say the least..
to be offended so badly by a penis enlargement drug.... wow, isnt he really small in the pants.
the beagle will probably fail, because once it gets to mars, it'll get a sniff of uranus and run off into inifinity and never be seen again.
nah, only seppuku

pfft.
Well I'm Turd Ferguson!
or does this sound like some new sexual fantasy?

until they start suing infants for being "potential copyright infringers"
looks like it's about to have it's first downtime.
I think they need to reconsider names now.

that's when you stand by the garbage can and take the computer and run off with it and start a server farm..
though with compaqs, I hear that you can make a good business selling them as doorstops.
