Can someone show me just where in the Bill of Rights it talks about Corporations?
In all the law and criminal justice classes I have been taking these past 2 years, I always got the impression that the Constitution and, more specifically, the Bill of Rights defined: the limits that the Government can infringe on the Pre-existing rights of Human Beings
Corporations are entities created by governments, and therefore have only the rights granted to them by those governments.
Does SCO believe that they own SE Linux? And just how are they going to stop the NSA from using it, or force them to reveal just how many copies are running?
Granted, Outlook is not Windows - but Windows has Outlook and the outlook engine deeply integrated into the core of the OS. You may be able to hide it from yourself, but not from a virus.
But we are talking about the computer that your Aunt Tilly buys to chat on the interweb-thingie!
And Guess what? Your Aunt Tilly uses the default login from the OEM, which has full admin rights! Your Aunt Tilly does not know what ports to close! Your Aunt Tilly does not want to be bothered with firewall rules, IDS or security patches - She just wants to play Swedish Bingo at www.slingo.com! Your Aunt Tilly can't de-install or permantly disable Active X, Outlook, or Internet Explorer, or the VBS scripting in MS Office 9x through XP-Pro!
I doubt that you can either.
But if you hack at it long enough, maybe you can disable all the OLE that makes Windows insecure, but then you would just have a crippled GUI on an OS that is not able to connect to a network.
Ok Windows screwed up;)

Virus Hits Federal Visa-Checking System
Computer Virus Cripples State Department's Visa-Checking System for About Nine Hours
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON Sept. 24 -- A computer virus disrupted systems at the State Department for checking every visa applicant for terrorist or criminal history, leaving the U.S. government unable to issue visas for roughly nine hours.
And the following from MSNBC:

Computer virus hits U.S. visa system
Government was briefly unable to issue travel documents
ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON, Sept. 23 -- The State Department's electronic system for checking every visa applicant for terrorist or criminal history failed worldwide for several hours late Tuesday because of a computer virus, leaving the U.S. government briefly unable to issue visas.
Now, CNN does not even have the story yet, or deems it not newsworthy.

$168 Mil is the same as a worker with an after taxes income of $50,000 donating $178 to some charity.
One more tax write off and a warm and fuzzy feeling.
But then again, I heard the swamps of Redmond are rife with Anopheles punctipennis. ( or some other bloodsuckers)
Yes sir!, As fast as the infected OS can read the file list, that is how fast the virus will infect a smb share. And it takes forever to scan and clean using AV software under Windows.
I had to shut down a local Doctor's network for 36 hours to clean the latest nonsense from 5 PCs and one server. He had each PC sharing something, so all were infected. Had to bring them up one at a time, download the latest AV and updates, shutdown and move to the next. With all the damn word.docs on the server, it took forever to clean.
I could not convince him to switch to OO and RTF files, maybe HIPAA will force him to get his stuff together, and keep my medical records out of YOUR hands!
"The record shows which method has done a better job of policing source code, which reveals that your call for indemnification is, to put it bluntly, FUD."
So are they saying Fear Uncertanty & Doubt? or should I read: "...your call for indemnification is, to put it bluntly, F**cked Up Darl."
Well I can choose what to install on my Linux systems, but can the CIO make the same claim?
Can you choose not to install Exchange, Outlook and IE in an Enterprise network? IIS may be avoided by using apache on Windows or a Sun solution; but most of the medium business networks go for a unified, simplistic network - one vendor and therefore, one point of failure.
This is more an indictment of the IT community than of MS or OSS or Apple. If IT would tell MS to cram the new OS and fix the old, they would listen. As it is, the majority of the corporations just meekly shell out money to MS, just to be current. There seems to be a corporate bragging ritual as to which OS is being used, and older, patched versions are SO 20th century. "I just have to have a 2003 model network..."
Gates just sold about 13 million shares since July 23, so he may have had some pocket change laying around to drop on Linux licenses. Better than leaving it in the ashtray of his car.
I wonder if he is donating to Arnold's campaign...
Davis is not running for governor. He is trying to not get recalled. Now is he wants to, he can announce his intention to run as his own successor, and then if he is recalled, he will have a chance of getting back in.
No matter how you try to spin it, he is NOT in the election yet. He is only getting booted out or not.
With all that "lack of funding" it is interesting how the top 3 people at WQED in Pittsburgh can be pulling down over $400K combined. When that came out in the local scandal sheet a few years ago, I quit contributing to their pledge drives.
As far as a balanced news coverage.... Forget NPR. They have an slant to the left as bad as Rush Limbaugh has to the right. Their accuracy in reporting leaves a lot to be desired also.
I believe that as long as the Gov't supports them in any way, they should be held accountable for unbiased, accurate reporting of events. But then again, in a perfect world like that, Apple, Microsoft, SCO, IBM and Sun would all be looking out for the customer's best interest!
This is why I had a DEC 11-780 in my garage for a couple of years.
The company I worked for was dumping it, I tried to get it donated to the community college, but the CC did not want to pay for the move and they could not get a service contract without using an approved mover. So I ended up with literally a ton of parts for the Ham-fests. Still have the empty case for a 300MB 14" HD, I use it as a mobile workbench.
They do make fantastic power supplies, the 12v from the main chassis is my favorite trickle charger for my lawn tractor battery
Have you ever looked under the hood of your Chevy? Chances are that it is running a Mitsubishi engine!
I fail to see how dropping a Chevy engine into a Mazda would reduce the reliability of the engine? The engine does not care who made the sheetmetal that it motivates. Maybe that is why I have a Chevy 3/4 ton with a Cummins Turbo deisel that came out of a Dodge RAM. All it took was a bit of fuel line, ripping out a lot of trash from the wiring harness, and welding up a set of custom engine mounts.
Mating an engine/transmission to a frame is not rocket science, it is not even automobile science.
The motorhome industry has been operating like this for years, you chose the interior, the engine, instrumentation, accessories, placement of the windows, type of chairs etc. At the end of the process you have D.O.T. approved vehicle on the road. Of course, you pay for the custom options.
You need to hang out at the local performance shop. Cars, trucks, and cycles were hacked long before the first Univac.
Highschool drop-outs can build custom street rods and chopped hogs, so why can't a group of ASE certified engineers from TRW design an open source model that will accept the best-of-breed in today's vehicle components?

In a western society that would be the case. But you have to understand that these Marines are in the remnants of a culture that has been repressed by just that attitude. The Fedayeem Saddam, the Ba`ath party, and the darling "royal family from Tikrit" lorded over the citizens of Iraq for 30 years.
Now we are trying to show the people that they have the same opportunities that all your/.ers have.
Have you ever had any dealings with an abused animal? It takes a lot of work to earn the animal's trust. Now relate that to a whole society of thinking, reasoning humans, who have been beaten into submission, afraid to trust anyone, and who know no other life. It is going to take a while to show them that you are there to help them take charge of their own destinies.
You can't do that from any armored vehicle. You have to show the people that you respect them, then they will respect you.

Why worry about the glue?
All "stick and cloth" aircraft such as the SPAD, Foker, Sopwith, Stearman, etc had spruce wing spars and ribs that were built with animal glue. The glue is stronger than the wood it connects.
I wonder what holds all those carbon fibers together in the modern composite bike.
Could it be a glue like epoxy?
Actually I hate Microsoft because they sell shoddy code!
Then they expect me to pay them more to fix their errors.
I hate incompetence, either do it right the first time, or fix your mistakes for free!
MS has a great marketing dept, crack legal team, decent development team, but their Q/A team lacks the balls to push back the release dates untill the code is debugged properly!
For this they must submit to indignities from Tux!
