    If you've ever seen the movie Maverick, where Mel Gibson is talking to the Indian chief, the Chief states that the next place he's going to move is going to be a real dump so the white man won't kick him off of it. That's the way to pick domain names :)

    My point was that we are categorizing criminals by the monetary damage which they cause. Is a drunk driver more guilty of the same offense if he rear-ends a Rolls rather than a Buick?

    As long as they have to prove the damages, rather than having the judge readily accept them. In fact, who cares about how much damage is done, as long as it's over the $5,000. If he broke the law, he broke the law, he didn't break the law by $320,000. That would be essentially ridiculous, turning law from an ethical measure to a monetary one (well, more so).

    Most programming is done for in-house development. So, that being said, you standardize on what your company runs. Both Java and .NET programming are readily taught, so training seldom plays into it. Hire someone with the right skills and knowledge, and it doesn't matter platform, time to market, etc.

    Well, after RTFA, it has everything to do with the SGI crap which has since been removed for being a kludge. This is the code snippet which we are aware of anyways.

    From the Article: The second development was an admission by Open Source leader Bruce Perens that UNIX System V code (owned by SCO) is, in fact, in Linux, and it shouldn't be there. Mr Perens stated that there is "an error in the Linux developer's process" which allowed Unix System V code that "didn't belong in Linux" to end up in the Linux kernel (source: ComputerWire, August 25, 2003). Mr Perens continued with a string of arguments to justify the "error in the Linux developer's process." However, nothing can change the fact that a Linux developer on the payroll of Silicon Graphics stripped copyright attributions from copyrighted System V code that was licensed to Silicon Graphics under strict conditions of use, and then contributed that source code to Linux as though it was clean code owned and controlled by SGI. This is a clear violation of SGI's contract and copyright obligations to SCO. We are currently working to try and resolve these issues with SGI.
