fails to understand is that the preferred OS is dictated by what customers spend their money on, not by the cost or the openness
This is most certainly wrong. It sounds fine on the surface but in reality what they spend money on is the stuff they can buy.
Key here is what is the Nokias, Motorola of this world is going to offer their customers.
They do not want Microsoft for obvious competitive reasons and they want the cheapest OS they can get that has the ability for them to offer robust services and most importantly differentiation.
Answer Linux and Java. End of story. The rest is just noise.
WTF, do you think I mean. Iraq is not exactly a hotbed of technology, so it is a safe assumption the most technologies will be Foreign in the Not from Iraq sense. Second, Computer science, Semiconductor technology and Operations research is probably not the 3 top subjects on the How to be a Mullah curriculum. So there is a good chance it is foreign in the I have no experiece with this sense
Chances are the the clerics only knows that computers can be used to watch porn (Women without a headscarf) so take a wild guess whether they think it is something to be encouraged or not!
As for the Evil part maybe this has something to do with their perspective, but maybe you already figured this out and was just trolling.
Only a company like AOL could do that and stay in business
Why do you think so? When Caldera went public as a Linux company they raised $250M. They can piss away that amount, before they face a liquidity problem. As a matter of fact that is precisely what happened. They were running out of cash and the IBM suit was a last desperate Hail Mary act.
Sad the Linux community and IBM has to pay for it. To some extend it is good that Royal Bank of Canada stepped in (Behest of MS?)as there is a chance that case gets thrown out before their $50M infusing is gone.
This means IBM and RedHat can collect something, plus the corporate shiled to Canopy might just have been pierced meaing they can be held accountable as well as the offecers personally.
First if there is infringing code it is RH or rather first the person that submitted the code that bears the responsability.
In the case you mention the court will normally allow a period to remove the infringing code, so as not to impose unneccerary hardship on innocent victims.
In addition the Copyright owner has a duty to mitigate damages, in case they want to be awarded Damages by the court. The latter by the way the latter is why SCO will never get anything from the Linux community in case hell freezes over and some code beloning to them is in Linux.
In the same "unbaised" survey it was revealed that an astounding 85% of all Toys were bought by Grown-ups.
As a consequence Lego will now ditch the silly little colored blocks and design more Adult like products. Inflatable dolls for dad and longer more sturdy colored artifacts for mom.
Any idea what it would take to use this as an opportunuty to establish a sort of Azalia Certified for Linux Logo and a set of requirements that goes with it?
Logo that you could stick on the box and "Journalists" et al could include in the normal fluffy Buzz Word compliance reviews.
Firsts, Thanks for reminding me about Heavens Gate, I had a great laugh at the time and it is perfectly OK. If that is what they want to do, why would I care. The Jonestown is a little sad since innocent children was involved. As for the misguided adults I couldn't care less. The Sweatshop fire is real sad.
Now to the Not a Gene assertion. That is not so clear cut. People with frontal lobe epilepsy which is most likely hereditary changes personality and starts to express a deep religiosity even if none initially. It gets more and more intense as the disease progresses.
It is one of the key symptoms. Even for people that only get seizures very rarely.
I will refrain from commenting on what this mean in a moral sense, but a blanket statement like Not in a gene is probably incorrect.
Somehow you hoped that people in such a fucked up society that leaves little girls in a burning school as they were not dressed correctly, were different.
I for one would like to be able to point to a special aberrant gene causing this crap.
You are quite mistaken. There is a ton of BSD stuff in SFU as well as a lot of GPL'ed stuff.
Below is from the SFU licenses you get with SFU 3.5
The utilities bc, ci, co, cpio, csplit, dc, diff, diff3, gawk, gzip,
gunzip, ident, merge, nl, rcs, rcsdiff, rcsmerge and rlog are covered
under the GNU General Public License, here reproduced.
In accordance with section 3b of this license the source code to those
utilities is available from the Services for UNIX World Wide Web site,

If you look a the letter on 6/24 from Novell to SCO (partly quoted below) they disputes SCO legal rights to enter into a new agreement with Microsoft.
As voiced yesterday a lawsuit by Novell against SCO is almost certain. They are currently trying to Audit SCO's records in an effort to bring their ducks in row, and presto. Once the suit over Copyright et al is filed SCO effort to get more money will be impossible. On an aside head over to Groklaw and read about SCO's effort o hire a sales manager for their non-existant IP in Linux.

It has come to our attention that SCO may have violated these provisions. In particular, SCO reported in a recent securities filing that SCO has established a program to review existing licenses, and enter into new licenses, relating to UNIX and that this effort "resulted in the execution of two license agreements" during the quarter ended April 30, 2003. The securities filing states:
The first of these licenses was with a long-time licensee of the UNIX source code which is a major participant in the UNIX industry and was a "clean-up" license to cover items that were outside the scope of the initial license. The second license was to Microsoft Corporation ("Microsoft"), and covers Microsoft's UNIX compatibility products, subject to certain specified limitations. These license agreements will be typical of those we expect to enter into with developers, manufacturers, and distributors of operating systems in that they are non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, paid up licenses to utilize the UNIX source code, including the right to sublicense that code.

Any undertanding at all or just considered foreign and evil?

I will take Cowboy Neal and Dupes over Jason Blair and correct spelling any day
Personally I need a 12 step program just to weane me off Groklaw.
Go to TheLinuxShowwebcast from LinuxWorld today and listen to segment 2 (Interview with IBM).
Then ask yourselves if IBM will let the little Piss Ant SCO put this in peril.
Not a chance
PS Use MPlayer in Lieu of the horrid RealPlayer
Terrible place to start out but at least you can tell your friends on Slashdot.
What else did you think those BSOD were caused by?

I have not visited any of those sites in years, but probably will tomorrow just to make sure this crap doesn't work on Moz 1.7A
The reason is testing issues not anything to do with third party SW per se.
One benefit is that I had to reinstall Flash. I didn't get around to doing it for a few days and I realized I could live happily without it.
Try it you might like it.
I was just trying to be funny by makeing this exact point about Tech purchase.
I think, but do not know for sure, that a big portion of the women Tech buyers, is actually buying for husband or Boyfriend.
As a consequence Lego will now ditch the silly little colored blocks and design more Adult like products. Inflatable dolls for dad and longer more sturdy colored artifacts for mom.
I refuse to believed this. I go to Radio Shack fairly often and you rarely see any women in the shops.
I think there is an agenda behind this "Report",
Logo that you could stick on the box and "Journalists" et al could include in the normal fluffy Buzz Word compliance reviews.

This administration has no interest in science, mostly because they lack intellectual curiosity, as do most religious types, I might add.
Putting a man on the moon! I guess he got this Vision Thing from his Dad.
Come to think of it. I think you are right.
I still would like to know what is happening behind the scene, though.
Maybe someone with first hand knowledge can comment, as this will most certaintly hit the popular press and it might be prudent to know the facts.

If you have been exposed to Economics 101 you will have a field day reading this pseudo Research unfortunately published by a real university.
You will be glad to know that FOOS will fail as there is "No market at the core" and it does not provide an optimal allocation of resources.
He kind of forgot the benefit to the user of lower cost but who is counting.
