with Corel being back in the word processing game, next thing we'll see is them demanding that MS remove notepad from windows because it competes with Word Perfect.
How exactly would you download a browser without one coming pre-installed? It would be either up to your ISP to provide one, or you going out to buy one.
Well at least they saved a tree or two worth of pink slips. Although on Monday there are going to be a few pissed off people that had their phones off all weekend.
Errmm... Last I checked, regulating internet infrastructure with regards to assigned names and numbers is ICANN's job. Anything less than a "brazen attempt" and they would be failing at enforcing the RFCs and other regulations they've been entrusted to enforce. Since when do Verisign's business interests trump this?
Well considering this lawsuit was filed in the United States, I would assume that Verizon's business intrests would trump ICANN's interests to keep the internet running smoothly.
Then again, ICANN could remove the responsibility from Verizon to manage TLD's and give it to someone else.
After the slashdotting novell receives today, they will know for sure that they have slashdot behind them 100% in the drawing, hanging and quartering of SCO.
Why shouldn't IBM move to linux? They are basically fighting for linux against SCO (yes I know, it's about AIX, but linux is there too), if they are dumping so much money into killing/beating SCO, why not use the software they are fighting for themselves. They have the resources to develop and support it themselves.
This mainly depends on which company wins the contract to re-build their IT/Communications systems. If a pro-microsoft company wins, then Iraq will be locked into proprietary software.
So, why exactly does that seem like a worthwhile pursuit from IBM's perspective?
IANAL, but if there is no money to satisfy a judgement, can't IBM claim any property that remains...like say the rights to SYSV/UNIX or any other patents SCO holds?
I know this has been said over and over but the RIAA never adapted in time to the internet. They will be lucky to catch up now and stop losing revenues. P2P is the new store, just like businesses that cut costs by using e-store's instead of real store fronts.
The more people the RIAA sues, the farther underground P2P will go, products like Freenet, Bit torrent and other programs will become common place and they will never find them all. What's the point in pissing off your customer base if your trying to make money. All they are doing is flogging a dead horse.
"We're gonna sue you unless you hand over $3,000" is any different from "We're gonna proceed with our suit unless you so hand over $3,000"
This sounds an awful lot like extortion to me, I wonder when they'll try to pull this on someone with the resources to take it to them.
I don't know which area you were in, but I remember the good days of getting 360K/sec down and 45K/sec up.
That was fairly underhanded when they reduced the speeds and didn't bother to inform anyone till they called to complain about it.
I hope this change migrates back up to rogers, well..that and maybe getting DOCSIS in my area.
Next thing you know Congress will be giving the Homeland Security department the right to seize assets and possible terrorists anywhere in the world.
Be careful when you get that knock on the door and the guys in black suits are flashing FBI badges.

And people wonder why viruses are so prevalent on windows boxen...
Now that anyone can spoof not only the url, but the file type, who will know what they are downloading.

Of that half trillion emails, I wonder how many of them originated inside aol itself.
All those 1000 hour free CDs being put to use in the wrong hands...

4. Profit!
Since it does run on Linux...does that mean the drinks are on the house?

Its not the TIE fighter you need to be scared of, its the guy running towards you with a long beam of light screaming MAY THE FORCE BE WITH ME!

Maybe we can simply get a dialing machine and have it call the telemarketers non-stop.
