I can understand why SCO is pissed at SGI but is it financially a good decision to terminate SGI's license? SCO is going to lose the case, be out of a lot of money and lose a substantial customer.
Did Linus know what he was talking about when he said SCO is smoking crack?
I agree. If they are giving the students access to their network, they have the right (and responsibility) to control what is happening on their network.
I didn't read the article but If I remember correctly, it was created by Palestineans in a refugee tent, thus being beyond the reach of the US copyright laws.
As for the software, I went to the home page once. It was extremely unprofessional. I got no farther from there.
I disagree. So microsoft's software is insecure because hackers can write viruses that can go in and disable the system. This cannot be compared to auto companies suits.
This would be comparable to someone suing a car company because Tony Soprano put a car bomb under their car and it blew up. Their argument would be that Toyota (or whatever) didn't make their car secure enough against outside attacks.
When a car company has faulty parts they have a recall. When a OS is found to have flaws, they send out patches.
It is completely unreasonable to expect a OS with hundreds of thousands of lines of code to be unbreakable. This is impossible.
If Linux had 95% of the market share, hackers would be spending all of their time trying to break linux. There would be just as many problem on that platform and windows would look secure.
George Jetson didn't need to park his car (ship/whatever.) It was his briefcase if I remember correctly.
Seriuosly though, some parking facilities in Manhattan have something similar. The only real problem is that it is not automated and the operators aren't too fluent in English.
I can't recall how long we had to wait to receive our car but it wasn't anything too outrageous. I just remember it because it was something I had never even considered.
I really can't see the wait being too much of a problem. What are the odds of 300 people showing up at the exact same time wanting to get their cars? How much different would that be from 300 people arriving at a ramp based garage and all trying to leave at the same time. It would probably be a lot easier actually getting out onto the road then a ramp based garage would.
Here, Clear Channel took 4 excellent independent rock stations and decided they didn't need to be competing against each other. Then we had one modern rock station (that plays only whats popular and only after the music gets popular), one classic rock station, and 80s station and a christian rock station. The former two have changed formats many times since the deregulation because nobody listens to them.
I downloaded a copy of Borland C++ Builder a few months ago. I could only find an evaluation version that expired after x days. It was worse then windows to activate and get working.
I hope there is a personal addition for this. I too am a big fan of JBuilder.
There is so much personal information out there and some people are so uninformed about who not to give this information to or how to secure the information that they have been given. This problem will only get worse.
I for one have no idea how to deal with it.
On my very first linux install, I installed both gnome and KDE and most of their apps. I did this so I could get a feel of both interfaces. Upon opening a gnome app while running kde, my kde desktop disappeared and was replaced with the gnome desktop and interface. I was very familier with the terminal but had no idea how to get back to the default KDE. I felt that gnome was trying to take over my system. This left a very bad taste in my mouth and I have not used it since.
This may not be 100% accurate to what I experienced as it has been several years. It was something along these lines though.
1) It would be cool in a movie, but in real life these things are true weapons. You can bring down electrical systems, stall trains, release sewage into the water supply. Real people can die real deaths because of these.
These would be civilian deaths too, not military deaths...

I am hoping for a full featured CGI flick, like the first segment of the Animatrix. The rest of the Animatrix was a huge letdown after that.

lol... I was thinking something along those lines

I think it's a comination of two reasons.
One is because it is Microsoft's format so they know it's there to stay and all (newer) windows machines will support it.
The second reason is that out of the two leading mainstream formats, mp3 and wma, wma is the one that allows the security that they need.

and you all still won't admit it.

That does make a lot of sense. Thanks for the reply.
I guess I just don't get it.

The only thing I can think of is that the ISP was AOL and she had her own login/screenname
As did I. However, it was about only about a week before the new ones were announced.
