I am getting ready to blow off M$ and Linux on my systems and putting in SCO. I think they are the way to go..! They have the brightest future of any OS.
(sarcasm much?)
We have had the technology for about 30 years now to do something like this. It's only because of the general publics' fear of nuclear power that it hasn't happened yet. get the ball rolling.. send out a few test probes... learn... and go deeper...
...is a way to turn the damn system off in an emergency ie. 'low on fuel... need to land on that big strip of highway there...'. Not that big planes have ever done that, but I'm sure pilots want that option open to them. Also would this system be programmed to prevent the hijacker from crashing into the ground ? I don't think pilots are ready to give up control of their birds based on some computer algorithms.
I am getting a little tired of seeing this SCO, IBM, Linux/Linus, *nix, crap everyday, but I cant seem to stop myself from looking for more each day. It's like a bad episode of Survivor and we all have our fav's, but in the end we're pissed our player didn't make it. Anywho here's a thought....
M$ gets its start b/c of IBM with DOS, M$ splits in two and second part forms Apple/Mac b/c of a spat, M$ buys some form of *nix, many happenings and going ons occur which befuddle my mind, Finally we have some one (SCO) who claims ownership of UNIX, and after dealing with IBM they find (supposed) IP in Linux. (Meanwhile Apple switches their core OS to some form of *nix (BSD?). M$, SUN ( a patsy here), and (yes!) IBM, all want money for their work (As do most corps.). So... I propose that IBM and SCO and M$ and SUN have arranged for the death nell of Linux (which threatens their bottom line). IBM *purposely* puts
IP code into Linux to begin this lawsuit. SCO finds said IP and sues (read as previously arranged) IBM, as it has the deepest pockets. IBM does nothing to create more FUD surrounding Linux, M$ buys the best A/V solution for Linux and kills it and as well buys a licsence for NIX from SCO. Sun (who also buys a liscence) sits there looking like a tiger in for the kill when in reality it's just a kitten purring. All they need to do is keep this in the courts for a few years and Linux is no longer cutting edge, or a threat, then M$, Sun, IBM all profit from their greed. What happens to Apple? Well because there must be cross contamination from Linux to BSD, BSD goes down with Linux and so does Apple. This is the end result that would make Uncle Bill soooo happy.

What's so wrong with her????

ice cream.. We do this every year at our physics dept barbeque... it gets a rise from the first years
