The Road Map has now been changed (postumously). It requires Abbas to crush ES5. In return Hamas etc will be allowed to continue. Afterall, IP is more important than innocent lives.
In this (http://newsforge.com/newsforge/03/08/21/132219.sh tml?tid=23) story in Newsforge, response of SCO is given. Also Linux Journal publisher Phil Hughes "in an open letter to SCO, Hughes identified his firm as a Linux user and invited SCO to sue them."
Here is the email resposne SCO sent to newsforge...
To clarify, the code we showed in Vegas was Unix System V code that was copied line for line from UNIX into Linux. It was contributed by a UNIX licensee, which was not IBM. It was shown not to build our case against IBM, but it was shown to identify that there are issues with Linux. Linus can have his opinion of Darl McBride and what was shown, but ultimately, we will have to show our proof in a court setting and convince a jury that we have been wronged by IBM, not this other UNIX licensee that we showed the code from. That will be a separate issue.
As the company that owns the UNIX System V source code, we think we're sufficiently qualified to identify this code.
FYI, there are so many languages in India, all official / technical business is done solely in English. Why did you think so many Indians who know English....?
These guys haven't heard of price elasticity of demand. If 10 million CDs were sold at $3, they assume same number would have been sold at $15. How rediculous.
BTW, the same big labels and their subsidiaries sell the same cassettes for $3 in India and $9 here.
I won't pay for content unless all the sites google news links to become pay sites with one small monthly charge (and that won't happen). I've never paid for any online content.. I doubt I ever will. After I run the largest site of its kind (Indian Classical Music), absolutely ad free.
BTW, whoever got ahead in business by abusing potential customers ?
Only way to stop the FUD is to let everyone have their say in the court and see what happens. If any case needs a speedy trial, this is definitely that case.
And yes, there is debate on whether puranas are vedic or not, but i intend not to go there.
That is exactly my point. Purana-s are NOT vedic. They are clearly classical sanskrit (post Panini) and bear no resemblance to Vedic (sanskrit).
There is no getting around the fact that the 4 Vedas do not mention caste. Caste system was a later creation and corruption of the Vedic philosophy. Manu smrithi just tried to give caste a religious color.
Casteism is the India equivalent of Slavery. Faster we come to terms with this horrible past and renounce it, the better.
You can get more information / debates at the indology forum. (http://listserv.liv.ac.uk/cgi-shl/wa?A0=indology) . Also follow this link (http://www.indianest.com/hinduism/017.htm) for a brief classification of Hindu literature (my apologies if this is too basic for you).
Strategically nuke testing was a disaster. It just nuetralized conventional superiority India enjoys over Pak. Now Pak thinks that they can do *whatever they want* and India won't be able to go to a war... look at Kargil and all the Terrorism mess that keeps happening after the nuke tests.
Currently India has absolutely no way to stop Pak from supporting terrorism. Short of risking a nuke war.
It would have been much better to try to knock off Pak nuclear facilities...
Also, The Vedic scriptures do predict that this caste system will degrate in the age of kali, to what it is at present. (it has many other predictions like water will be sold,cheating religions(cults) will rise etc..).
Vedic scriptures don't talk about caste system. Tell me which scripture and shich shloka-s predict this... Don't confuse Purana-s with Veda-s.
If US didn't turn a blind eye when Chinese supplied all the nuke tech to Pakistan, India would not have the need for nukes. Remember (unlike US) India has two nuke powered neighbours who have in the past waged wars on India.
I'm not sure it was correct to test nukes a few years back... that was definitely politics. India should have just kept the options open and never gone openly nuclear (like Isreal does now).
Ofcourse, not having nukes will not remove poverty. In a way, they are cheaper than a war with Pakistan (definitely that has helped prevent a war... don't know for how long).
Not quite correct. Casteism may have been very nascent at the time of Budha. Manu-smrithi is dated after the time of budha. Budhism was essentially against the vedic sacrifices and practices. During that time India was still primarily Vedic... not Hindu, as we know Hinduism today.
Offcourse, caste being just a vocation is just some silly primary school text book stuff.

Finally mainstream press gets a little bit of non-SCO side in this battle.

Interesting "new" news ...
If the studios are *really* interested in quality how come their support for SACD is so lukewarm ...
BTW, whoever got ahead in business by abusing potential customers ?
So when is this slated to go to trial ?

You have lost touch with reality ... just look at the number of people who live on the roads of New York ... (and all the people in homeless shelters)
Just prejudices ...
Voting machines are quite cheap ... made by a public sector company ...

Instead of MP3s, If only 5,000 people buy CDs, how much money does the artist get ? More than 60,000$ ?!
