The actual licence hasn't been changed. All that has happened is that one of the clauses within the licence has been invoked, thus revoking the licence.
If this clause exists in all versions of the licence that shipped with any previous release of NMap, then using an earlier release will not make a difference.
If the clause is there, it has been revoked, and SCO can no longer distribute that release of NMap.
If they find a release that used a different licence, or used a previous version of the GPL that didn't contain that particular clause, then they have a copy of NMap they can still legally distribute.
And how is Linux meant to stop the person using the computer from walking away with a CD full of Windows?
Not to mention that it was here on/. that I read how it had been leaked, which, of course, meant that it mentioned the fact that it was from a Linux machine.
Oh, one last point. I'm on a modem. How long will it take me to download IE6?
(ok, so I'm not on a modem, and use firebird/fox. The point stands.)
From what I heard, the serifs are meant to lead your eyes along the text.
People with dyslexia find the letters in words get jumbled up, so anything that serves to seperate the letters is of help. Hence the preference for sans serif.
There is a company in Australia that actually uses pigeons to carry data.
They run tours in some remote caves where dialup is the only option, and even that isn't reliable. Their problem is that they take digital photos of their clients, and want to have them printed before the clients arrive back at the main base.
The solution? They send the camera's memory sticks by pigeon.
IIRC, the biggest problem is hawks.
I'm sure the above was posted here on/. last year sometime.
But that would still be illegal no matter how many people were involved in the conversation.
The original point is that the illegal action is the fact that there are just two people conversing.
Far fetched, true, but still a point worth defining.
But seeing as BitTorrent can download from many people at once, you get the sum of their combined upload bandwith.
If you are downloading different chunks of a file from 3 people at 26 kb/s each, that's 78 kb/s.
That's the whole point of BitTorrent.

Are you serious?
I saw that at school around 15 years ago.
I still shiver whenever I'm reminded of it.

Because it was the USA that tried to get Microsoft to remove IE, but it's the EU that are going after them for WMP.
Different countries, different rules. The EU is much more worried about Microsoft's hegemony than the US.
Yes, I know the EU isn't a country.

It suprised me that linux detected all my hardware on this machine, while windows missed the monitor and graphics card, neither of which are old.
Linux even found my P800, which windows didn't.
So it won't go away today or tomorrow.
But it will in a year or so.
What about children over 5? This sounds like selective reporting.
I got fed up with my watch when it kept getting stuck on my shirt cuffs.
7 years later, and I still don't miss it.
He isn't doing this because he has to, but because he wants to. The more people that use the 2.0 kernel, the better.
The Germans don't like the EU? It's them and the French who run the bl**dy thing.

You're correct: NEAR
Small harpoon going 30cm === large (relativly) spacecraft going 3mm.
And of course, by the time it has moved it's been anchored.
Except at this point the gasses aren't evaporating.
One word: humour.
Learn to recognise it, and you'll go far.

And how on earth will they prove that you deleted them to escape litigation?
Surely it depends if you delete the logs before or after the RIAA requests them.
It was my understanding that before is ok, but after would be destruction of evidence.
As long as they don't have any spacesuits, of course.
Yes, but you usually end up with a bullet in you.

Not if it's your code.
