Must have slept in longer this morning then I thought. Good thing 2003 is over. Those last 2 months went buy really quickly. Nothing significant must have been invented...
Regulators would never allow MS to come in and outright buy them. They have already proven that MS has a monoploy. Letting them buy the rights to Unix would only further their monoploy.
Explain to your grandmother why she needs to buy a $200 HD receiver so that she can continue to watch The Price is Right on her 19" TV or or $400 on a new TV...and that old 13" TV in the bedroom is just SOL since it doesn't have any inputs.
The only thing I had so far that is not skippable are the movie studio logo's and the copyright notice. You *could* consider them as advertisements, but I don't really do.
I've yet to come across a movie or dvd player that wouldn't let you do one of the following: fast forward, skip chapter, or jump to the menu. One or two are prohibited...but not all three...that I've found so far.
You asked for it you got it! We have listened to your feedback regarding our existing DVR Upgrade Promotion. Effective October 27, 2003 we are lowering the upfront cost to the subscriber and allowing both existing DHP and Non-DHP customers to participate. We've set the industry standard in DVR technology and it continues to be the wave of the future; we want all customers to take advantage of the DISH Player-DVR 510 receiver.
DISH Player-DVR 510 non-DHP Upgrade: Existing non-DHP customers can upgrade to a DISH Player-DVR 510 receiver for just $99 plus Equipment and Handling charge. Effective October 27, 2003, customers can purchase a DISH Player-DVR-510 receiver for $99 with a 1-year agreement. America's Top 50 or DISH Latino and higher programming is required. Customers must enroll in Credit Card AutoPay or pay a $24.95 Equipment and Handling charge payable directly to DISH Network at the time of activation. Customers who activated on or before November 1, 2002, also have the option of getting the DISH Player-DVR 510 receiver for FREE with a 2-year agreement. America's Top 50 and DISH Latino and higher programming is required. Once again, the customer must enroll in Credit Card AutoPay or pay a $24.95 Equipment and Handling charge payable directly to DISH Network at the time of activation. There is a limit of 1 DISH Player-DVR 510 upgrade per account. A $240 cancellation fee applies.
DISH Player-DVR 510 DHP Upgrade: Effective October 27, 2003, existing DHP customers can upgrade to a DISH Player-DVR 510 by simply paying $49.99 upfront, enrolling in Credit Card AutoPay and agreeing to a 1-year programming purchase. America's Top 50 or DISH Latino and higher programming is required. If the customer does not want to enroll in Credit Card AutoPay, they can pay a $24.95 Equipment and Handling charge payable directly to DISH Network. Customers must have been activated on or before March 1, 2003, and there is a limit of 1 DISH Player-DVR 510 upgrade per account. A maximum of 4 leased receivers are allowed on the customer's account. So, if the customer already has a 4-receiver DHP Plan then the customer must participate in the receiver exchange option. A cancellation fee of $240 applies.

Human clinical trial results indicate that there are no safety concerns and that the reovirus shrinks and even eliminates tumours injected with this virus.
Whew. Glad that there isn't any safety concerns. So this will become apart of our daily diets I would assume then? There are no strange reactions, side effects, other drug interactions. This is a wonder pill! I'm really not sure if I trust a drug manufacture that would claim that there are no safety concerns.
Except you will have some voters who will think that: - they could vote twice, once with each method - that one was just a practice vote and the other was one that counted - are confused that there are two voting methods and don't know what to do, so don't vote at all - paper discriminates against tree huggers and caters to the logging community - electronic voting discriminates against technology luddites and caters to the techno-savvy
Why do we scream about SCO stealing our software when many of us actively download MP3? Why do we yell that fast food is bad for us yet we still eat there? Why does America "liberate" Iraq because they had a WMD program when we have nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons being developed right now?
Nope. Caldera as an official company has ceased to exist. For a while they were still Caldera d/b/a The SCO Group but they officially changed their name a month or two ago. If you see anything with Candera's name on it, it is either old, or it's The SCO Group d/b/a Caldera.
Xenix was written by Microsoft for Tandy 8086 and 8080 processors and later merged with AT&T SysV. Then it was sold to the Santa Cruz Operation (SCO) and was renamed/eventually became SCO XENIX, SCO XENIX 286, SCO XENIX 386, then developed into SCO OpenServer while Unixware came from Novel/AT&T Unix Labs. Caldera purchased The Santa Cruz Operation back in 2001. At this point, IBM and SCO were collaborating on Project Monterey since 1998, which was subsequently broken off. With the purchase of SCO, Caldera became a distributor of OpenLinux, OpenServer, and Unixware while spinning off Tarantella to a seperate company. Caldera struggled for a while, eventually trying to revive sales with partnerships with Suse, Connectivia, TurboLinux, and someone else with UnitedLinux. At this point Ransom Love was in charge of the company and seemed to reasonably embrase the idea of OSS. They even at one point toyed with the idea of supporting many differnet flavors of Linux (RedHat, Debian, Suse, etc) with service contracts to companies. That subsequently failed that they went back to primarily Unix sales and renamed Caldera International to The SCO Group, hoping the familiar old name would project a new image. Ransom left and our beloved Darl came into power. Then Darl realized that Linux was a threat to their entire business model (both sales of licenses and support), that they decided to go down their path they are currently on.
Note, SCO no longer stands for Santa Cruz Operation.
Duh. He had to do it in 1100 seperate transactions, using different addresses and credit card numbers. That way he could still qualify for the $50 rebate, free double memory, and 2.5% Fat Cash.
HP does, Lexmark does...and I know of several companies that sell printers that use HP's technology that sell almost empty cartridges with a new printer as well. Apollo (sold at Target stores a while back comes to mind immediately).
It wasn't a filesystem. It was a way of representing the filesystem. NTFS is the filesystem...Windows explorer is the method to represent that filesystem in something you can visualize.
Yeah, it probably won't be a problem melting/disolving the epoxy off. The problem lies though in that if the chemical is strong enough to do that to the epoxy, it will probably continue on through the PC board, components, and solder.
Current cash on hand is over 4.8 billion according to their latest filing. IBM isn't worrying about where they were going to find the money to pay for the lawsuit. SCO up until this point probably was.

If meat wasn't meant to eat, god wouldn't have made it so tasty. Mmmmm. Just my $.02 worth.
But Marth inside trading a few million worth of stock (for a net gain of only a few hundred thousand dollars IIRC) does...

Excuse me sir, I think you dropped your foil hat a little ways back there...
Darl, is that you?
Isn't Mandrake French?

Don't tell that to the alt.binaries.movies.* newsgroups.
Yeah. Any your point is? This is /. you know.

It's called hypocrisy, the American way of life!

Isn't $1.5 million AUD is like, what, close to $10 US these days?

Until you realize that those cartridges have about 1/5 the capacity as real cartridges.
The Net?
