Actually, white is all color when referring to light as black is the absence of color (light). Black is all colors when referring to pigments, like paint and what not. American or not has nothing to do with it.
After SCO said that, HP's only comment was that that was "an interesting spin." I'd take that to mean that it's definitely HP's intention that their indemnification reflect badly on SCO's case.
Mr. Cheeky was played by Eric Idle, but he was the one who was taken down and let go. The guy next to Brian singing at the end *was* also Eric Idle, but not Mr. Cheeky.
SCO, which stands for "Satanic Cultists' Operation," changed its name from Caldera in 2002, when it was acquired by an obscure organization which exclusively employs 1200-year-old undead trial lawyers.
Hey! As a Satanic Cultist I resent that! We would never pull the kind of BS SCO is doing. I'll have you know that we use all Linux or BSD boxes in Hell, dammit.
Here's a thought I've had.
What if this whole thing was actually engineered by IBM? They get SCO to sue them (IBM), spreading all kinds of anti-Linux noise in the process. The benefit to the SCO people is all the money they've been making on their stock since the lawsuit was filed. Microsoft, taking any opportunity to discredit Linux it can jumps on board by purchasing "licenses" to SCO's UNIX property. IBM then countersues SCO, bitchslapping them with patent violations. Microsoft eventually is revealed as the only company stupid enough to buy SCO's license (announced today). IBM eventually wins its countersuit, legitimizing both Linux and the GPL. Microsoft's support of SCO makes them look foolish, causing them to lose credibility. Linux starts getting bigger and bigger marketshare, driving Microsoft out of business, and IBM gets vengeance on M$ for stealing IBM's business back in the day!
What, it's better than the other conspiracy theories going around...

Soldier, also written by Ellison for The Outer Limits, was also a prime inspiration for Terminator.

I think maybe because the judge will not be happy if they shine him on?
Or her, even, seeing as the judge is a woman.
I believe the story you are referring to was called "A Thousand Deaths", whereas the time travel story was called "Closing the Timelid."

Hey, Linus can swear in front of the Pope all he wants. In fact, let's steal the Pope's hat and give it to Linus.
