As long as you don't try to devlop something new, there is no problem with the third parties. The use of technologies ist licensed and paid.
The trick is: There are the Amiga Boot ROMs. Infact nobody knows exactly, what crap is in them. They are not produced anymore.
AmigaOS 3.9 couldn't improve the whole system. Haage&Partner and Olaf Barthel did some dirty hacks, but they couldn't rewrite the main part of the code.
The development of OS 4.0 takes 2 years yet, because everything has to be rewritten. Hyperion couldn't take the old code to improve it.
AmigaOS includes too much copyrighted material from third parties. It was not well documented. Although there were serious doubts, if the complete source of AmigaOS is still available for the owners.
First: Internet Acess becomes more and more self-evident. There are plenty of services you expect in an first-class-hotel. Your shoes are cleaned. Someone makes the bed while you are not in the room. There is a mini-bar. All this is inclusive and you pay nothing extra.
Second: I don't think the costs are enormous. An airport is spending a few thousands dollars for hardware - do you know hom much a plane tyre costs?
The analysis does not go very deep and there are factual errors.
There are many reasons to attack SCO. SCO is in the news, SCO is not very big. It's a perfect success control. When the company Website goes down, the virus was successful. the media report the number of infected systems and they even give advise, what the author could do better the next time.
The DDOS attack is NOT the only function of Mydoom. But nobody talks about it. Why should a user bother about SCO? But in fact the virus is a severe danger for the users.
Another point: the author of the most successful malware for Windows is primarily a Linux user? No - he must use Windows to create this virus and he has to know a lot about the system. Conclusion: The author is surely a windows developer and has perhaps sympathies for Linux.
A factual error: there are yet no lawsuits SCO versus Linux users. As far as I know SCO has only announced to do.
Another factual error: "It represents a new degree of viciousness in internet warfare" - these attacks are well known since 2000 and unfortunately an ordinary thing.

Die EU will Microsoft laut Focus zudem dazu verpflichten,der Konkurrenz wichtige Informationen zur Verfugung zu stellen, damit diese Programme erstellen konnen, die problemlos mit Microsoft- Produkten harmonieren. Dies hatte der Konzern in dem vierjahrigen Mammutverfahren bis zuletzt abgelehnt. US-Politiker und Lobbyisten werfen der EU vor, Microsoft auf kaltem Wege zu enteignen und europaischen Firmen einen Vorteil zu verschaffen.
The Focus articles states that Microsoft hat to disclose "important informations about Windows" to their competition. I think that means the Windows-API. This would prevent further offences.
Could WINE get advantages out of it?

"A new email virus called MyDoom is spreading rapidly across the Internet through UNIX mail servers..." More here.
TiVo is a successful product afaik - why is there still no equivalent in Germany?
The conditions seem ideal: In Germany are several companies selling Infos about TV programmes, online, in real time, etc. Digital TV started in Berlin - many consumer have to buy new televisions and or set top boxes in the next two years to deal with the new standards. Cable TV is widespread. But there are only few digital recorders in the market, they are very expensive and no product can avoid commercials.
Years ago Telecontrol produced a box called "Fernsehfee", which stopped the (analog) VCR whenever a commercial started, but the product was discontinued (several TV station sued the company).
The answer my friend is blowing in the wind - I'm sure. But does anybody know a list, that is complete as possible?
I know only a list of CD-Live-distros at knoppix.net .
"The employment agency has selected an immature and unproven software package and its functionality is at the best close to Office 97", said Microsoft representatives.
What exactly does this mean for Office97? It had no feature like PDF-Export or XML-Support - but was far more immature than OO?
I agree, but the EU-legalitive has other plans. Today you can buy those GSM cards without leaving your name, but when an EU-directive becomes effective you have no choices anymore.
Beside of that is the German police very industrious in monitoring mobile phones. With an IMSI-Catcher they monitor every mobile within hundrets of meters. With "silent SMS" they can locate every mobile...
I guess you will never be able to buy such an telephone in Europe. We hear all the time about criminals with dozens of cellphones, so that the police never can intercept their criminal talks.
Slashdot Mirror
Sorry, I thought this was obvious. There is no link in my comment, I just wrote the URL in plain text.
The site http://xxxtoolbar.com/ tries to install a malicious program as XPI.
Is this a proof of acceptance or is it an alarm signal?

And what about (the still standing) order
This was more than five years ago. The order is not still standing.

The decision by Britain's largest high-speed internet provider will lead to the first mass censorship of the web attempted in a Western democracy.
No, it is not the first case. Remember blocking child porn in pennsylvaia? Have a look here.
In North Rhine-Westfalia all providers have to block access to two Nazi websites: look here.
when the answer is not "42"?
"stupid user syndrome" as known as Microsoft SUS (TM)?
I hope the participants code - a new AOL software - an Outlook-Skin for TheBat - a new IRC protocol and - WinXP Servicepack 3
... but a firstpost on slashdot sounds differently.

A refreshingly different Point of view.
