When is SCO going to disclose something? Everything they've said so far is unsubstantiated, and now they won't even tell us which company bought licenses.
I can understand them wanting to protect their own code with an NDA, but why won't they just tell us which lines of the kernel contain their code?
They don't have to reveal anything that hasn't somehow already made public. We just need to know which parts to rewrite...
From the article: Other technologies developed in the 1990s didn't make the list because most have not reached the level of impact that the following items have.
So they ignore all the cool 1990's technology that has already had widespread influence and put the Smart Card on the list, which has never amounted to anything...
It wasn't just Jews, no. But they were used for the cruelest experiments.
Yes the United States made use of Nazi scientists and engineers. But all the data gathered from inhumane medical experiments was destroyed, and AFAIK those responsible were brought to justice to some degree.
But what about all the *good* things that Hitler did?
Well the the Nazis did gathered a lot of scientific information with there inhumane experiments on the Jews. But when the Allies occupied they destroyed all those records out of principle. At least the western ones did. No one is quite sure about what Russia did in the east.

..they are an "ordinary asshole," as opposed to an asshole "trying to get people to switch to Linux" ?
When they find the Linux users who did this I hope they lock them up and throw away the key.
So all someone has to do is dislike Gates and Microsoft, write an Windows virus, and they are automatically considered a Linux user?
Cool.
"Do better than average..."
Since when have colleges support illegitimate activities anyways?

Imagine the possibilities if EVERYTHING that a university produced was available and indexed in one or more P2P applications.
Would this mean I could 'recycle' someone's term paper from three years ago?
Wouldn't that be Simpson... Otzi Simpson?
Yes, the ('Great' * 250) grandfather of OJ

Watching classes through a camera would be about as exciting as watching the House of Commons channel.

Well I think CSPAN can be quite interesting at times. You brits must have boring politics

Reiser4 wasn't availeable back in Oracle 8i days
Those tests are very outdated.
So they are being used, only not in your backward assed Texan run country
Here we use credit cards. Its more secure to have financial information stored server-side.
Smart cards can be hacked. I should know, I used refill my public telephone calling card back when I lived in Argentina.
They mentioned VisiCalc, but not Apple, the only widely available platform it ran on?
Notice they didn't mention the Electric Company, which is what the Electronic Cash Register ran off of.
This Top 10 list is only concerned with finance-specific innovation, not the underlying technology/framework it runs on.

No, please explain.
It has to do with some sort of primal urge to copulate.
But don't ask. I can't understand it either.
It has been 15 minutes since a story about love & marriage appeared on Slashdot, and no one has been modded "Insightful" or "Informative" yet.
Yeah I am aware of it, but so what? It is completely unrelated.
Get back to me when the couple is in space together. And post videos.
I was serious. And I am on a very reliable 600 up 400 down ADSL connection.
Strange...

"China to Be Laptop Leader" ?
Come on, it would have been so much funnier to title it "China Be Laptop Leader."
Of course not. Churches (or should I have said, "Religious institutions" ?) were just one of my examples.
Non-religious people can do community volounteer/social work type stuff.
In other news, you should all be scared.

A link to a printer friendly page!
So, tell me, where do you find these PEOPLE who help other PEOPLE for free?
There are several places. Charitable organizations, community volounteers, churches...
I am not religious myself but my father is a Reverend and he DOES help people during the week, I've seen it firsthand.
