With a car, if the engine stalls, you get a flat, or something else happens that disables the vehicle, you just coast over to the side of the road and you are fine (hopefully). With a plane, if it becomes disable, you will coast directly to the gound and crash.
Also, with planes you have another whole dimension that you have to worry about, altitude. Cars don't have to worry about dropping to fast, wind sheares throwing them into the ground, and all the other problems that planes have.
"Oh, wait - the machine it connects up to would be a large mainframe that runs 1/2 the speed of the slowest PC, and written entirely in COBOL - I forget these things about the stogy old banks we know and love."
And your point is? Most banks have upgraded their mainframes to somethign a little bit more modern. Many actually probably don't even have a true mainframe anymore. And who cares if its written entirely in COBOL. That's what COBOL was originally written for...financial applications. It works. It's been around forever. Its tested. There's probably a reason why they don't run.Net, Mono, or whatever the language du jour is.
You can bet your ass that they've tested this stuff to death. Its going to be secure, its not going to be running Outlook or other Windows hacking prone applications.
Have you ever seen Office Space. I rest my case. After all, if they do it in the movies, it can be done in real life...right?:)
The SCO Group (SCOX) is the American company. The SCO Group GmbH is the German company. They share the same name, but a case brought up against one company is legally shielded from the other. That is the whole point of incorporating seperate companies.
Wilson, Hunsaker, and Olson all made purchases recently. See those entries titled "Option Exercise". Those are purchases. They are converting their option to buy stock at a low price into actual stock. At that point, they usually are turning around and selling it.
Either way, all these people are small timers with the exception of Bench (220K shares, 1.7%) and Broughton (100K shares,.7%). Olson and Hunsaker have 70K between them and Wilson has 0.
It's not illegal for a companies executives to buy and sell their stock. This is a major part of some of their compensation package. I don't see people complaining about Matthew Szulik selling stocks for Red Hat, Ali Jenab for VA Linux.
Your right...but I've yet to see a reasonably priced video card with video out that looks decent on a regular TV. XBox also does HD, dolby digital, has a convienent form factor, decent price, and plays XBOX games...does your home PC do that?
Well, it's nice to see that it looks like they made at least some provisions for a non-IE brower. If you look at the source, it appears that they made some provisions for NS4 and CSS. So they get a few points up for this.
However, I think that they loose many more points for complaining about the monopolistic practices of the company...then use said company's webserver to host the site.
EEO doesn't mean equal opportunity for every person for every trait. EEO means that they can't descriminate based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, or disability. Notice past job history isn't one of them. I have the choice to not hire if you worked for SCO, not hire you if you are ugly, and not hire you if you are overweight. Would I be an ass if I did? Yes. Is it illegal, no.
As someone else stated though, automatically deleting them is probably against the law. All resumes should be kept at least 1 year depending on where the business is located and state law.
. What Are the Federal Laws Prohibiting Job Discrimination?
* Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII), which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin;
* the Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA), which protects men and women who perform substantially equal work in the same establishment from sex-based wage discrimination;
* the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), which protects individuals who are 40 years of age or older;
* Title I and Title V of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA), which prohibit employment discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities in the private sector, and in state and local governments;
* Sections 501 and 505 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which prohibit discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities who work in the federal government; and
* the Civil Rights Act of 1991, which, among other things, provides monetary damages in cases of intentional employment discrimination.
2000 cds * 15 songs * $500 per song...you will be poor!
Isn't your number off by a bit? Itsn't the maximum fine something like $150,000 per incrimination? That's more like $4.5 billion. And don't forget, if he ripped them at more then 1x speed, you get to use the rip speed as a multiplier to the fine....and if he ever burned one of those songs, who nelly!
Nope. No matter what they say they knew it was wrong. If we give to them because "they wern't the wiser", then it instantly becomes the excuse for the other 260 people. Are you going to give to them as well? Will you give to me when the RIAA breaks down my door and I use the excuse "I thought it came with my DSL account..."
If two things are exactly out of phase, are they still truely "out of phase"? Dictionary.com defines out of phase as "In an unsynchronized or uncorrelated way". By being the inverse of each other, they are correlated. I'm not trying to nit-pick, but truely courious.
If your question is serious, I'll tell you this: If you buy the Cisco and are willing to pay for a support contract, then you'll never ever have to worry about downtime.
Correction. That should read "...If you buy the Cisco and are willing to pay for a support contract, then you'll never ever have to worry about finding someone to help you during downtime."
Cisco's products are not perfect. They do fail from time to time or have problems that may not necessarily qualify as a failure. All that the support contract says is that they will hold your hand when it does fail. Signing the contract does nothing to the actual equipment to increase/decrease it's reliability.
They may be able to change the the present and the future, but they can't change the past. The Wayback Machine captured the original page...or at least the original image.

I don't understand why I must swallow my food. Isn't just chewing it then spitting it out good enough?

Yeah. That has worked out for them so well.
This post would look much better without the link domains showing.

Or maybe working for SCO is a disability?
Yes. EEO is to prevent descrimination based on age, sex, color, disability, etc. Employment history isn't something that is protected.

Humor really is lost in you, isn't it?

Sigh. As soon as I thought that my congress critters were doing a semi-decent job, Rep. Mark Souder goes and supports this.
You are correct, but since it's still undefined, it's a mute point. :)
The SCO page never had a red hat. It was always blackened out. Here is an example of the real image with the red hat in it.
