Please some lawyer out there. Please explain to this simple engineer... What the heck is copyrightable about an "ifndef" statement?
This is the stupidest claim I have ever seen!!!!
BAR NONE!!!
So if the GPL community ends up so irrate that they follow and expose every memeber of the SCO-MORMON_MAFIA for the rest of their lives and then follow with frivlous suits against the Morman Church (with SCO's Ralph J. Yarro III. showing up as Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Angel Partners, a 501(c)3 support organization for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.) for infringment on trade secrets and copyrights of other religions. In particular the theft of dietys belonging to other religions and theft of text...
What has this bunch of UTAH gangsters gained and gained for their church?
Since X-BOX-2 runs on the new Power CPU from IBM (juiced up version of the one in the new MAC) they needed the ablilty to run older XBOX and PC software in emulation. That's why they bought VirtualPC. They don't care about the linux aspect at this point in time.
I asked him one other thing: Could you please implement a hash with our social secuirty number and a digital pin-number which would typed in when voting? Then we can go back after the election and verify online that the vote was counted as we cast it. The pin wouldn't be known by anybody but the individual voter so our privacy would still be secure.
His response: We talked about it but this would make full internet voting possible. The API and protocol would be documented. We would not have a captive product! We will never move in this direction.
Shows what they care about the quality of the actual voting.
I had a long discussion this weekend on voting software with a friend who was an executive with one of the firms manufacturing voting equipment... (I won't say which one.)
I asked him: "Since you make money on your hardware what's the problem with open sourcing your software?" He hemed and hawed but then said: "Our programmers are not good enough that we want to let the world see our code!"
I got a little irate and said: "Well its our votes getting counted." He then said: "Well there is something else. Its running on Win98 and we can't fix those security holes!"
At that point I told him: "I think I prefer hanging chad."
It worked when I put it on the shelf. A complete PC-Jr with 640K Ram (add on board trick and the faster NEC CPU), floppy, printer-iface-side car, wireless keyboard, several game and basic carts, all manuals including PC-JR Technical Ref, and the PC-Jr monitor.
I have not had the heart to throw it away. The kids loved it so much when they were tots. Now they are adults and not as much fun...
I never used it much (had better machines for myself and as I smoked in those days a puff would cause the wireless keyboard system to type junk characters on the screen.) but whenever it would die I would just open it up and shake out the penneys the youngest would feed the floppy. When he was 9 months he puked all over the keyboard and case. IBM made it so rugged I just took out the Polaroid and snaped a few photos of the keyboard layout, disassembled the whole mess, threw it in the dishwasher then let it dry a day. It worked fine afterwards!
In-fact the youngest's first word was "IBM".
(I had it by his crib doing rotations and spins of the basic 3d shapes - torus etc.. and he could change the shape by hitting any key.. Gave him a sense of power and fired off those complex shape neurons...)
After the "GhostBrothers" game I retired it and got them better machines. That cycle has never quit. Upgrade..Upgrade... new machine.. over and over.
Now he's a journalist and when not on his gameless powerbook just loves all those auto hijacking games.. (The Mouser Cartridge game was soo much less violent.)

With the recent non-X11 KDE port to Mac OS-X (cocoa based) does this hack permit Gnome apps to be compiled to run on the MAC too?
When the non-X11 KDE port to windows gets running will this permit both KDE and Gnome apps to run on windows?
If one or both of these are true then computing will get very interesting....
Also, portions on floppy of .27 and I think maybe .29 on more tape.
Only problem is my tape reader is in the junk box. No idea if it still works.

A court in Morman land will always be biased against the non-morman.
get with the times - sell it on e-bay
You are all missing the point.
Utah is Mormon!,
SCO is Mormon.
The Judge is likely Mormon!,
Why even have this trial? A non-Mormon (firms and people) can not get a fair trial in UTAH!
