But it's easier when the poster takes the extra 10 seconds to wrap a around his link. The slashcode also adds in an extra space that usually has to be removed. Not a huge deal, but a mildly annoying inconvienence.
Next time spend the 15 seconds to read just a little bit of the question. Third sentence down:
We have been running thus far from ICR on faxes and linking to the faxed signature image on our web site, but are having numerous problems trying to depend on a thousand+ faxes a month coming through perfectly.
They are using faxes. But keeping track of 1000+ faxes and hoping that they all come through clearly is a problem.
If you are really intent on developing code for the SCO platform, you probably have already shelled out the money for a true developers license. This includes cc making gcc unnecessary.
While I have no stance on the to-weed or not-to-weed issue, care to backup your statement with an actual study? I'm talking about a real study done in a scientific fashion and not sponsored by some special interest group.
I find it hard to believe your statement. How can you say that someone would never reach their potential (however ambiguous that is) if they smoke a joint once a month? Can you prove that they would have achieved their potential on their own if bud never came into play? How can you quantatively specify what their "potential" is?

I tell you what. You go ahead and design a site, pay for the bandwidth, support a couple of million hits on a daily bases. At that point, then you can bitch and complain about your site maintaining journalistic integrity.
Slashdot's editors are not journalists. Well, Roblimo would be, but Timothy, Taco, Hemos, etc. They repost news articles done by others. Journalistic integrity lies on the author of the article. The editors are there to seperate the wheat from the chaff.
Besides, this really isn't news. It's a review. Many small manufactures link to reviews of their products. It's nothing new. So they are promoting an item. Who cares. If you don't like it, don't click on the link. Go turn off reviews in your preference. No one forces you to come here. You don't have to pay to get the content if you so choose.
One thing to keep into perspective here. IBM has only 1 motive here. It's profit. Everything that it does ultimately comes down to does it make business sense to do something. I beleive that it does make sense for IBM to join the fight (or maybe do the majority of punches), but IBM isn't doing this because it's the "right" thing to do.
The enemy of your enemy could be a friend, but it could end up one day being your enemy and come back to bite you. I'm sure there are some chinese proverbs out there but I can't think of them right now.
Nikki would win hands down. Check out the pics of here here. I'd be scared to enter the ring with some who looked like that. And I bet she's farily happy in that picture. Although I wouldn't mind seeing her in a oil wrestling match...:)
Now look at the competition's pic. She looks like your best friends mom for god's sake. She should be baking something. Note: Notice the IPod in the pic.
Yes that was the original case. But SCO changes its story so often. If it's related to Linux, Unix, IBM, or any other company that might someday appear as a blip on SCO's radar, they have accused them of something. You don't send out 1500 letters to people who have done no dealings with IBM saying that they are infringing on SCOs IP due to a contract dispute.
Yes, I know you are not a lawyer...but this is/. so I don't care.
What would happen if a variety of companies all filed suits similar to RedHat's? Can SCO ask for a delay in the proceedings since they would be tied up in other cases. Is it possible to basically do a DOS-like attack with lawsuits?
My company has established guidelines about accepting promotional items from people we do business with. Small items of insignificant value are acceptable. This would include branded little foam trinkets, t-shirts, mini-calculators, etc. If the object is of a significant value, say a PDA, printer, computer, etc, it's the property of the company, but it probably wound't be accepted anyways as it could be an influence in a future decision.
I'd say the PDAs in your case would belong to the company, but those who did the work should get them and use them.
Also the amount from those shares selling is less then what they have been doing in a daily basis, accounts for 8/10ths of 1% of their market cap. Canpoy Group, the real owners of SCO still have their >50% share.
A year and a half ago I purchased looking at getting an 1800+ Athlon XP. I ended up purchasing it at a local computer show. At the show, I could either choose retail or OEM. Retail was $12 more, but had a 3 year warranty instead of the retailers 14 day. I much rather pay a little extra for a significantly longer warranty. I figured that if AMD feels that the supplied fan/heatsink is good enough, then let them replace it if it cooks itself.
As a side note, AMD has a page that shows a list of recommended 3rd party termal solutions, even though they are not covered under the processor-in-a-box warranty.
This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.
While a Slashdot t-shirt isn't exactly real important in the grand scheme of things, I'd say it's important enough to take their own advice and not use the poll feature.
It depends on how you are measuring which is larger. Are you going by customers, revenue, what? I have a friend who consults on billing issues with both and he recently said that SBC was larger then Verizon.
And I was going off of RIAA's member's sales from 2002. According to table, RIAA shipped a total of $12.6B last year. I know that Sony, TW, et al have massive worth, I was only going on what RIAA was reporting $ amounts. Either way, it doesn't matter because it wouldn't be possible to litigate until one can't afford to since both obviously can afford to forever essentially.
Why is it that when a (smaller) corporation decides to stand up for their customers' rights against a (larger) corporation, it's always spun as being unlawful?
SBC is smaller? SBC is the largest ILEC. It had revenues of $36B over the last year with a market cap of close to $80B. SBC is significantly larger then the RIAA (as an organization). However, at very large $$$ amounts, it doesn't really matter much. However, the combined legal and lobbying power between Verizon and SBC is very significant.
I noticed that some (all?) of the auctions had an 18% "Buyer's Premium" that goes to the seller, paid in addition to the winning bid amount. Is this normal for auctions? It seems like it is just another way to suck even more money out of the buyer. I wonder why we don't start seeing Best Buy, Amazon, etc start charging a 18% "Buyer's Fee" when we buy stuff online for the convenience.
Newsgroups are a pain in the ass to get anything from. UUDECODE and other formats are used and generally the files are split over MANY messsages.
UUDECODE is passe. yEnc is better and smaller. Yes the posts are split up over multiple messages, but who cares. There are many newsreaders that will automatically sort, download, and decode the messages so that they appeared as one file to the user. With the introduction of PAR files, multipart RAR (which are sent as multiple articles themselves) work great. Miss a post or something get corrupted? Just recreate it with a PAR file.
I got fustrated looking for things on WinMX/Kazza/et al. Many times users were overloaded, downloads were slow for the people who actually had them, and there were many false positives. With newsgroups, I can max out my connection.
So you are paying $2 a month for nothing then? If TM didn't use phone book listings, then putting your name under someone else's name would be even better. Even fewer calls and you don't have to pay the $2 a month for an unlisted number. But do you really think that the phone companies don't sell your name and number to whoever asks? Please.

The actual difference between the two is the Fijitsu is frame-relay based and the Westell is ATM.
This is China. What is stopping them from doing this with OggVorbis code now?
He doesn't.
Nothing's final until the Supreme Court says it's final, and even then it can change with time.
Duh. You have to remove the space between the ? and suckerid. :)
In these auctions, the 18% goes to the seller. I bet that his fees to the auction house, in this case eBay, are around 18%.
