  3. Re:Damn it on DOOM III This Summer · · Score: 3, Informative

    That's because the original Doom had incredibly shitty network code that would saturate a lan and swamp a pc.

  4. It all makes perfect sense now. on Microsoft Will Sell Whitelist Services For Hotmail · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Spam the hell out of everyone, sue the spammers for profit, and then profit from the whitelists.

    No, but my office has a high speed laser and crates of paper.

  6. Re:Someone explain to me again how modules "taint" on Kernel Modules that Lie About Their Licenses · · Score: 1

    Modules are an extension of the kernel, whereas programs that run on a linux system are not. And it's not like your system will prevent you from loading closed source modules, just lets you know that you won't be running a GPL kernel if you choose to load them. Political, yes. Fanatical? Hell no.

    No, you just have to do the technical equivalent of open the hood, remove the rad cap, drive new car under rad cap, replace the rad cap and close the hood. No rebuilding required!

    But if it's a jury of their peers, then we're screwed. Imagine a jury filled wih porno directors and direct-to-computer marketers. The Sleaze factor alone would destroy the delicate balance of the planet.

    I don't know about you, but I'd much rather be explaining to my kids "Son, those are called breasts" instead of "No, most women can't fit a two-litre pop bottle in there, they don't like other women, and they definitely do not like animals in that way"

    an easy way to do it at the command line
    modprobe *

    easy way to remove programs that I've installed.
    rm -rf /

    There's all kinds of easy ways to do it. To do it right, however, takes class.

    From the SEC Filing:

    These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation: (a) risks that the Company will not be successful in its efforts to protect and enforce its intellectual property rights; (b) risks that the Company will not be able to expand and grow its core UNIX business and that such business may decline; (c) risks that the Company will face increasing competition from competing providers of operating system products and services; (d) risks that the U.S. and international economic and political conditions will worsen and adversely affect technology purchases; (e) risks that the Company's SCOsource licensing initiatives will yield fewer licenses or less licensing revenue than anticipated or that such licensing revenue will not be generated when or in amounts currently anticipated; (f) risks that the Company will require more capital than anticipated; and (g) other risks and uncertainties set forth in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update such forward-looking statements after the date hereof.

    And from this one:

    This press release contains forward-looking statements related to SCO's efforts to protect its intellectual property rights and evidence of copyright infringement by Linux of UNIX System V code. These forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, including the risk that SCO may not prevail in pending or contemplated litigation or otherwise be successful in its efforts to protect its intellectual property rights. Other risks and uncertainties related to these forward-looking statements are set forth in SCO's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

    Nowhere do the words fucking or destroy show up. I'd say that these statements are, at best, sugarcoated. I, much like SCO, care not to speculate worst case scenario.

    Yes, but public companies can sugar coat it. Nowhere in SCO's SEC Filings does it say "IBM could, and most likely will, fucking destroy us!"
