This reminds me of the system in Key Largo, FL that serves 220 concurrent users from a pair of Compaqs running Red Hat. Notice also that the date on this article is April, 2002.
When I see it SCO will probably be filing a lawsuit over it since Caldera's GUI was called the Looking Glass Desktop back in version 1.2 or 1.3 of Caldera Linux. Me thinks Sun better watch out...
Remember to take this with a grain of salt. The inflammatory nature of the comment is nothing more than a marketing ploy to increase visibility of, and sell, the new Cray XD1
Quite true considering that a glance at the Top 500 List shows Linux holding spots at 4, 6 and 7 in the top 10 and Cray not appearing until slot 19. Someone should ask Dr. Terry why they don't have 3 slots in the top 10...
My emails get routed to null at aol as well.
Mine too, which is just fine by me. It gives me more time to email Darl with stupid questions and post his email address on/. repeatedly so others can do the same:-) OK now, group mail hug, everyone email Darl and let him know you're thinking of him.
Does Utah allow gay marriage? I think Mr. Maughan and Darl would make a happy couple, and as litigious schmucks they'd probably avoid divorce. Anyone got Mark Maughan's email address?
Interesting they didn't give out his email address.
Yeah, I was kinda disappointed too. I guess I'll just have to/. Darl's email again. Why don't you all write Darl and ask him if he likes spam as much as Mr.Soto.
According to 47 U.S.C. 227 in paragraph a2 the term "telephone facsimile machine" means equipment which has the capacity:
(A) to transcribe text or images, or both, from paper into an electronic signal and to transmit that signal over a regular telephone line, or (B) to transcribe text or images (or both) from an electronic signal received over a regular telephone line onto paper.
My computer and attached scanner/printer clearly meet this definition and nowhere in this code are computers exempted.
Additionally paragraph b1C states that it is prohibited, "to use any telephone facsimile machine, computer, or other device to send an unsolicited advertisement to a telephone facsimile machine". As per the precise technical definition given in this code my PC meets the criteria as a telephone facsimile machine. Nowhere in this code does it specify that the unsolicited advertisement is only prohibited when sent in the form of a fax and the prohibition clearly states that it applies to unsolicited advertisements sent by telephone facsimile machine, computer, or other device. Why can't this law be applied to unsolicited email advertisements that I receive? It would seem that as long as my computer is connected to a "regular telephone line" that all criteria have been met.
So where's the line between asteroid and planet? IMO, Pluto should be labeled an asteroid since it's smaller than even our own moon. Of course, there are also asteroids with moons but yet, they are considered asteroids, not planets. And what makes a comet a comet and not an asteroid, it's orbit? It would certailny seem that agencies like NASA that are so concerned with being precise in other areas could could come up with a more precise classification system.
I still think someone should drop Darl a line and suggest suing Canopy Group. The press release could read something like, "Since we've already shot ourselves in one foot trying to sue IBM we've decided to shoot ourself in the other foot by suing our parent company." I'll even copyleft this post so they can use it to make the announcement. This should save them that extra time they claim to need.
While they claim that it will be one of the "top 1,000" companies, they apparently have yet to decide which company to actually sue. Perhaps they need more practice playing darts?
Me thinks they're probably having trouble with their random number generator in Unixware. Why doesn't someone drop Darl a line and suggest he try Linux. While you're at it maybe you could suggest that they sue Canopy Group. You could mention that they're the parent company that owns Caldera and that they're currently anticipating a $5 billion dollar influx from IBM. Since Darl is obviously looking for a big fish maybe he'll try this one.
Now there's a Linux user I'd like to see SCO go after. If Darl thinks he's got his hands full with IBM just imagine what it'd be like if we could get him to go after the NSA. Just thinking about it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy feeling:-)
I'd like to see how well these would currently do on Darl McBride's SCO email account in sorting out his legitimate mail from his hate mail. It would surprise me if they could maintain this accuracy...
Now, either they had the evidence they said they had when they filed the suit in the first place or they didn't. It's beginning to look more and more like they didn't and the whole affair was merely a fishing trip. If this is the case they should be held accountable for everyone's time and money that they wasted since they never had the evidence they claimed in the first place.

That's an oxymoron...

A:Neither one works well with Windows open...
Darl's a lawsuit-happy kind of guy, I wonder if he's been a plaintiff in any medical suits too? Why don't you all email him and ask?
That's a laugh. Can I mod the article +1 Funny?

I bought mine at Toys'R'Us with Geoffrey dollars. Seemed OK since it's only a toy license anyhow. If you're not sure you could Darl a call and ask.
I wonder if we can use it to find SCO's future?
On Aug 20 of last year Chris Sontag is quoted as saying, "the company has uncovered more than a million lines of copied code in Linux, with the help of pattern recognition experts."
Then on Feb 6 of this year, in court before the judge, IBM states that SCO has publicly made such a claim but has in fact only shown a few lines of code in 17 files to which SCO replies, "With respect to the overriding issue, that SCO failed to identify line-for-line code copying", Heise (SCO's attorney) claimed "that has not and is not what the case is about." At that point, Heise said SCO cannot identify the violations.
Now, either they had the evidence they said they had when they filed the suit in the first place or they didn't. It's beginning to look more and more like they didn't and the whole affair was merely a fishing trip. If this is the case they should be held accountable for everyone's time and money that they wasted since they never had the evidence they claimed in the first place.
