I read this yesterday morning on the BBC news site. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/3431645.stm
compared to what China is involved in this is peanuts http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/3434 115.stm
A memo was sent by a manager (non techy) to my team leader (very techy) about the possibility of us having to pay linux license fees on our servers....his reaction "They can shove it" and "Im not f*cking paying anything to SCO".
Origami is a process of folding models from paper. Usually the less paper used the 'better' the model is considered to be, and the paper is often a uniform size/shape, most often a square. These models are like things i used to make as a kid, bits you can cut out the stick together.
Wont make a blind bit of difference

UK Spam Law Goes Live
·
· Score: 4, Insightful
1. 90+% of spam is illegal anyway (dodgy companies)
2. Most spam is from US/Far east
3. Spam gets sent because really stupid ppl respond to it
The impact of spam will only be lessoned when people are educated to take care of the problem. I.e Not responding to spam and taking responsibilty for their internet connection rather than just calling for legislation.
The UK always has this "Something must be done" mentality without people ever thinking perhaps *they* could do something.
"We have Ph.D.s here who know the stuff cold, and we don't believe it's possible to protect digital content."
Smart guys. If you can play it, you can copy it. Either someone breaks the copy protection (Jon J) or you plug a digital out into a digital in.
Trouble is the record companies know this but still keep trying which just makes it harder and more frustrating for the avarage guy/girl who wants to listen to ligit tracks on a mp3 player.
I like smoothwall but the lie to you. Ive got it running on a 486 with 8M of RAM, not anywhere near the recommended 32M+. It works but i dont think im going to try VPN and caching with it. This is with both V1 and the V2 beta.
"Europe is noted for it's centuries old habit of anti-semitism."
Its WHAT...One country (Germany) at one period of history (1930ish-1945) was anti sematic.
The guardian pool was after the war. Before the war started 2 million people, the largest march ever seen in th UK marched against the war. After it had begun feeling was less strong as most people supported our troups, not the goverment that had sent them.
And to the f**CKER who modded me offtopic..screw you!!
"Europe has a huge population, violently pro-US (UK et al)"
--Excuse ME!! the UK is NOT violently pro US, our elected leader is GWB's lap dog but most of the population are against the current US administration and their constant war mongering. We tend to like the American people but currently the majority are against thier (un)elected leader.
If a CCTV camera in a video store records whats on the screens can the prosecute the CCTV company. This is partly funny but here in the UK we have so many CCTV cameras it could be relevent.
The UK has some of the most draconian laws in the 'free' world, but in the case of the EUCD most people will ignore it. Except in high profile cases no one will ever go to court for copying a cd and giving it to a friend. Its just the high profile cases that bother me, thing like the skylov case etc.
Aah well guess we should all just persue none violent resisance, now wheres that dvdlib code.....
Stop slagging china off for been "30 years too late". The US was driven to the moon in an attempt to show off superier tech to the russians. China on the other hand has a series of plans leading to mining the moon, or even settling on it.
Whos knows maybe moonbases will become a relatity in my lifetime.
Case closes. All SCO execs having got rich, got jobs with micro$oft or just laying low for a while. No charges pressed, only people who suffer are SCO's employees. SCO gets taken over or closed for good.
They could have offered me money, sexual favours, anything but id cling to that domain name through every court in the land. That and I'd redirect it to gnu.org or linux.com.
1. Have mp3s to download not wma rubbish 2. Be cheap 3. Let people in the UK use it please! 4. Have a mix 5. Dont just market it at helpless teeny boppers 6. Please, pretty please
"Add to that the fact that Newham regards itself as (and OK, possibly is) a leader in local government ICT, and you've got a collision of prestige, visibility, money."
Some local govs here in the UK are better at 'puter stuff than others*, the ones that are good tend to influenct the guidelines of the rest.
*One example of this is some london bourghs have security done to guidelines set down by GCHQ others have one guy with an MSCE.
Ive tried searching for the following. 1. Rincewind (Character in Terry Pratchett books) The only reference I could find where books about fantasy/sci fi fiction and no book extracts from TP's books. 2. Various other British and US authors, again to extracts. 3. The first line of 1984. Success I found extracts, but only the first page and the cover. Also the extract seemed only to exist for one version of the book, not all copies.
This seems to be a good idea for academia/study books but, at the moment at least doesnt seem to work as well for fiction. Im guessing this is because of lack of participation by the publishers.
It is still very sunny. "under clowd in the US/UK" so when they can do it in *insert cloudy US location here, maybe maine or somewhere i duno* that will be impressive.
1. This was done in the Ozzie desert, when they can get a car that does this under cloud in the US/UK I'll be a bit more impressed. 2. I read about this over 24 hours ago, so the 'news' is more 'olds for nerds'
This guy posts the URL to slashdot then informs everyone how great he is because his company patch. I guess he need either a new webserver or wants to see how long it takes someone to break in.

Nuff said.

"Ahh yes lots of { and } and 'if' in both sets of code, i find in favour of SCO."
Just a thought.
Double Glazing salesmen are in serious trouble!

Yeah, trouble is i also want to make backups of my cd's that do have copy protection.

Still its only another case mod

I wired my video remote upto my parallel port and setup a web front end so I could set my video remotely. And yes I know videos have a timer.
