He talked to one of his friends who has been down the same road, and got caught. Basically, his friend stated that eventually he will be caught too. Its not worth running. This friend also gave him advice on what not to do and to "not trust ANYONE"
I think this is why he is being so public. The FBI can't tell him one set of charges to get him to surrender, then change the charges once they have him in custody. I think he is cautiously wearing his tin-foil hat.
Beautiful pictures, if you were lucky enough to have a 256 color CGI monitor! Back when in my youth, we had green screen monitors and black and white TVs. We thought that was 1337!
Why would I want to answer the phone as soon as I pick it up? I always like to check the caller ID first, to see if it is someone I want to talk to. Very rarely will I want to answer the call as soon as I grab the phone.
Can you imagine trying to stop mp3 transfers with this technology? A 5MB mp3 would take 0.000004 seconds. A whole CD would take a whopping 0.00056 seconds.
Could it be that the the operating system plays a role in the results? With data that close, can it really be conclusively said that the Apple hardware is faster?
Windows never really has been that efficient in a dual processor situation.
I wonder what it does if a part of the skull is missing. I bet that in many cases, if a skull is found by the police it was a murder. How would the software handle a bullet hole or if part of the skull was crushed. I didn't see it mentioned in the article.
Could be pretty interesting if there was an extra hole in the face and it put the eye in the wrong spot, or even added an extra one.
Yes, I would agree that this is a good solution for a HTPC or any type of in-house appliance, such as the Rio Reciever.
However, who wants to lug a whole reciever system, with detached speakers, outside. If I'm in the yard with some friends having a party, I just want to be able to pull out a radio and have instant access to a playlist I created on my machine. A small portable radio with a ethernet or wireless connection would be great. Quick and simple.
Now only if it were 802.11. I think this device will definately have me looking at Ogg.
I totally agree. If someone were to come out with a 802.11 solution that was in a small portable boombox, it would be a huge hit. Rio had their Rio Reciever(sorry no link) a few years back. You basically could have your computer broadcast a playlist over a LAN. With a wireless reciever, you could have your own radio station in the backyard.
A good example of the rules, regulations, and red tape:
A mail carrier is given a certain route. They calculate the time it should take, based on number of addresses, distance between houses, amount of mail, etc. They then send him out. If he comes back late, they will reprimand him, saying that they have done years of calculation, and that route should not take the amount of time it did.
Now, if a carrier comes back early repeatedly, the supervisors take notice. Carriers, because of the union, are guaranteed 8 hours. So that carrier sits around. Well, this doesnt look good and the supervisor hears about his carriers sitting around. To combat this, the carrier is given more addresses to deliver to, so he comes back about the time his 8 hour shift is up. Thus the reward for working harder/more efficiently, is more work to do.
Now, this becomes his new standard of work he set for himself. He is required to get all his old route done, plus the extra every day on time. Lets just say its summer, and the mail is light that time of year, when all of this happens. Now, winter arrives. Up here, that means snow - and christmas. Well, the snow will slow the carrier down. All the christmas cards and extra ads will slow the carrier down. But guess what? He is still required to do get his addresses, plus the extra done, in the given 8 hours. If he doesn't, they don't lighten his workload, they reprimand him.
Now, being a semi-intelligent person, the carrier says.. Hell! I'm not going to come back early ever again. So, the carrier hides on some side street, or slows down when the mail is light. Anything to not come back early and get assigned a bigger route. The whole system is kinda stupid, but typical of a large government operation.
Its almost as if Darl McBride is reading slashdot. He's the little kid on the playground that keeps poking at you until you chase him. Then he runs and hides. Posts like this parent are just what he is looking for. He wants to see how many linux users he can piss off before SCO falls.
Once the SCO/IBM lawsuit is over, RedHat will be the first to cash in on the counter-suit. This means, IBM lawyers will do the work and RedHat will use that information to get some money from SCO. If they were to wait until IBM sues SCO, there wouldn't be anything left.
Smart move on RedHat's part. Let IBM do the dirty work, and then ride along for all the benefits.
I would say to get a set of screwdrivers that are slightly magnetized. Its inevitable that you will eventually drop a screw into the case and have it fall in a spot where you can't get to it, like under the motherboard.
I know someone will reply that the magnetism will screw up the computer, but as long as its off and you don't leave it stuck to your hard drive or anything, you shouldn't have a problem.
It makes me wonder first of all, is my anti-virus system catching things as fast as the other systems? Is there a place that I can go that digests the latest threats and information down in to a nice, clean webpage?

Wonder why he turned himself in?

This is all the more humorous, since you are a subscriber, and have first dibs on the articles.
I think it would be more appropriate in this case to say:
You get what your company pays for.

So does this mean that in another 3 weeks they will be announcing their new G6 processor developments?
Hey! Which side are you on here? Helping SCO is strickly verboten on /. Find holes in SCO's arguement, not the perfect, wonderful, friendly GPL!
Someone mod this guy down! Sheesh!
Its even portable, so the truly paranoid can take it with them when they travel.
that if one were truly paranoid they really travel in this day and age?
And the contents of my toilet had many similarities to SCO stock!
You mean you used your SCO stock to wipe, too?

Imagine a beowulf cluster of these!
Shhh!
Yes I know those are not UIDs, but lets see who wont read this reply before posting.
Take a look at Q3. Is that an Anonymous Coward post in which the User ID accidentally got slipped in?
OOPS!

And this is just one of many examples.
Wouldn't that be AITHER from Greek Mythology?
Optical Powers.. Light God... God of Light...
I crack myself up!
The personality checklist fits the bill of both a technician and an entrepenuer very well.
I'd also say it is a pretty decent description of the typical slashdot reader, IMHO
I agree!
Once you've read the camel book, you are truly "over the hump", and can really start to program in Perl.

Nope and Nope
Humor, moderators, Humor.. okay some truth too.
