... this story was submitted by me last night at 11:20 PM under the name "Databases track customer return 'abuses'" and summarily rejected.
So, why is it suddenly newsworthy today?
... Microsoft runs an email service, and produces email software, and then says that you can't use their own email software with their own email service?
Because it's insecure?
What's wrong with this picture?
In the good old days (pre-1850?) the Supreme Court use to hear appeals from the lower (village, county, etc.) courts, hence its "Supremeness."
Later, the Court of Appeals was created to hear appeals from Supreme Court. When NY decided they needed a third level of courts, they allowed the Supreme Court to hear trials, and the appeal function was given to a subsection of the Supreme Court, called the Appellate Division. The latter is now the middle level of courts in NY.
To make things more interesting, there is *also* an Appellate Term in the Supreme Court, which hears appeals from certain other local courts in *part* of the state.
This is what NY humorously calls "The Unified Court System."

"Come on, people, do you really _want_ 1000 pages of Computer Shopper, instead of browsing at any number of online searchable sites?"

Yes! You don't always know *what* you need, and looking through ads is a great way to figure out just what that is.

Nope. I reboot my Linux boxen every thirteen years. :-)
Guess it's time for a reboot ...
... I plan to write about the Linux IP wars - the lawsuits, the issues, the politics, you name it. I'm going to title it "Sco.com".
Or another Open Source project gone wrong?
