I still think they're going after the angle that JFS, NuMA, et al (basically anything that looks or smells like Unix) are "derivatives" of SysV, and their ownership of Unix means that they control everything related. Thus, IBM shouldn't have contributed to the kernel without first asking SCO's permission. This, I believe, is the heart of their case (they are also still saying there's actual SysV code in Linux, but haven't show squat legally and isn't part of the case as far as I know).
See...it's the virual nature fo the SysV licenese. Anything that you incorperate in with SysV code automatically becomes SysV code. If you kept the code in a closed source program, this wouldn't be an issue...Oh wait. Shit. Wrong argument for the wrong side.
I wondered that too. Maybe they are referring to all the different versions of the kernel as seperate lines, even though most would be duplicate of previous versions.
All told on a yearly average teachers work about 34 hours a week
Right. And I guess that if you look at them going in at 7:30 in the morning and leaving sometime around 3:30 then you are right...they only put in 35 hours (including a planning period, minus the lunch). And I'm sure that there are some teachers that do just that and do whatever they want in the evenings. The good teachers and the dedicated ones then go home, do lesson plans, grade papers, write evaluations, etc for several more hours. Being a teacher isn't just a 9 to 5 job that you leave and come back the next day. Lesson plans don't just materialize out of nowhere.
You are right that they do get summers off. But for their meager starting salary, they often have to buy supplies for their class that the school won't pay for, find decorations for their class, and a whole host of other things that start to erode away at that paycheck.
Digital outs expect the audio to be in a certian format. MP3s have just about an unlimited number of ways to encode them...there are different bit rates, CBR, VRB, joint, seperate, mono, etc. People want their DVD players cheap...so they don't have the processing power to convert them to some type of common audio format (usually AC3 or PCM).
Ah. But "Andy" probably knows that the FBI no doubt very cunning and they will realize that no person would really put their name on the code. So instead of using a differnet name, he uses his real name so that the FBI looks at people whose name is not Andy, when all along they really should have been looking for Andy. But...Andy might realize that the FBI knows this and would take this into account so he might want to use a name not really his...

I beleive one of the big differences is that Tivos have the Season Pass functionality. I can't speak specifically about the SA boxes, but I know that's a major point of contention between Dish and DirecTV right now.
No longer an advantage with DirecTV over Dish. Dish has the 721 receiver (2 tuners, 1 output), 522 (2 tuners, 2 outputs), and the 921 (2 HD tuners, 2 outputs I beleive). Each one is capable of recording 1 show while watching live or pre-recorded content, or recording 2 shows while watching a 3rd pre-recorded show. I don't beleive the currently available DirecTIVOs will do output 2 seperate signals like the 522/921 will.

Apart from slashdot readers and lawyers who goes to the SCO site these days?
Honestly, my company. We still use SCO OpenServer currently. Product registration is done via the website. While there are other ways to register (via phone and fax I believe), this will be a annoyance. Plus there is the fact that we have close to 700 existing servers out in the field that will need the knowledge base at some point it time.
Ah nostalgia coming back...My first assembly class was on a RISC Sparc Station IIRC (did they make CISC Sparc Stations?). Every op code took one cycle. (or two in the case of jmp, but you got a free op before the actual jmp took place.) One of our first real projects was to implement floating point arithmetic in as few operations as possible. Shudder.
Dear Darl, I've talked with my IT cardinals and they say we're running Compaq Tru64. Note that we've already paid for our Unix license. Now go away before I smite you.
...its simply the last gasp for air of a dying company.
How many months have we been saying this now? Everytime it appears that SCO has done something more out landish then before and they can show pathetic their existance is...they do something worse.
3. Get a lawyer. A good one but one that will take the case for a percentage of this company that you are about to own.
Right. You are going to find a lawyer who will work on a contingency fee in a lawuit over a code segment that generates random passwords or creates string tokenizers. Good luck on your quest.
Exactly right. Original IBM 3151 (not 3153) keyboards weighted about 20 pounds and had 24 function keys...double rows along the top and sometimes had them along the left like the old XT keyboards.
No, but if you wrap your drives in this, you would be protected. Now if someone fired and EMP next to your drive, you might need something a little bit stronger.
Was that an actual conversation you had? It is almost exactly like a conversation I had with them several months ago. HD was getting flakey and woundn't even be detected by the computer. I still had to run diagnostics on it before they would send someone out.
Homesteads are currently protected to an unlimited amount in Florida, but the courts have started to crack down on individuals that move to locations and file bankruptcy to take advantage of bankruptcy laws. The trustee/judge can also force the sale if need be. Length of time in a location, as well as job ties, family, etc come into account. If someone just bought a million dollar home and filed for bankruptcy, the courts would scrutinize over it.
No it's not. They officially changed their name many several months ago, back around June I beleive. Their SEC filinging since then note the change and no longer have d/b/a on them as they did before.

Everyone, including cable companies and satellite, is blaming ESPN for having to raise rates.

RG6 is typically recommended for runs of less then 200 feet. For longer runs, try using RG11.

Which is why as soon as they were communicating with it they started deleting files immediately.

It's not rape unless it's not consentual. Can you honestly speak for all of them and say that they wouldn't enjoy it?
Besides, it's a fricking joke.
Or about 80 minutes with the right hardware or several months with $10,000 in equipment.
And as you can tell from his website examples the quality of his work...unless you consider that you can't get there because of all the publicity.
Exactly right. Original IBM 3151 (not 3153) keyboards weighted about 20 pounds and had 24 function keys...double rows along the top and sometimes had them along the left like the old XT keyboards.
When it does go south, sell the keyboard. IBM wants $150 to replace one when they go south.
