    'I don't think i could ever trust voting if a computer is involved to count "virtual" votes'

  14. Re:Oops. on USENIX Responds to SCO; Fyodor Pulls NMap · · Score: 1

    I can declare a law to be invalid... but until I actually break that law, I've not done anything 'wrong'. As long as SCO doesn't violate the GPL with regards to nmap, they are still entitled to distribute it.

    Did you really expect that to get a +1 funny? How about a -1 tedious?

    what was on the site? I suppose I'll check that when I get home.

  18. Re:Actual Cost of a Virus / SCO on What's The Actual Cost of A Virus? · · Score: 1

    Losing 1/2 hour productivity means paying out $120 without getting in the minimum of $150 the company should be trying to make out of your time. This means an actual cost of $120, but an economic cost of $270, per employee.

    I think your maths is a little dodgy...

    before virus: $120 out, $150 in = +$30
    with virus: $120 out, $0 in = -$120
    so that's a difference of $150

  25. Re:Australia? on Linus Says 2004 is the Year for Desktop Linux · · Score: 1

    Not to mention Austrailia's dollar is worth less than the US dollar

    and that's saying something! If you live in the UK, now is a very good time to buy from US merchants, even after you factor in shipping costs.
