Perhaps because John Petrucci (formerly of TSO and Dream Theater), and Chris Caffery (of TSO and formerly of Savatage) have toured with Iron Maiden in the past? Many of the musicians with TSO have a background in neo-classical metal, as well. So, yeah, I can see that. Sort of.
And how many "average users" (read - 'Daily, run-of-the-mill end users') do you know of that use grep for Windows? Compare that to the number that click on the start menu, go to 'find' and enter a search term. That's his relevance. Most people want to do it the easy way... which may not always be the 'best' way.
in some way shape or form for the last 18 years, I can tell you that breathalyzers are tested regularly. Each agency that I have worked for/with has had its machine tested and calibrated on (at the worst) a monthly basis. Logs and printouts of the tests are kept for a period of time (last I remember it was 5 years, but that may have changed). The machines are tested against a predetermined and certified air/alcohol mixture, and sent back for recalibration if they fail to report a correct alcohol level past a very minute tolerance. The machines work. Any standards and training officer worth his salt can rip this defense to shreds with documentation on his agency's breathalyzers.
Re-RTFA. The motion to dismiss was denied as to the pleading of falsity, but GRANTED as to the pleading of special damages. SCO has 30 days to come up with some new rantings and ravings as to special damages, or the case IS dismissed.
This bug was also an issue with Mandrake 10 if installed with XP. The "quick fix" was to go into the bios, and set HD access to LBA instead of auto. Works fine (for most) after that. I believe this fix is also mentioned in the bugzilla report for FC2.
The article seems to state that his reasons for leaving the LUG weren't so much based on the military's use of Linux but rather (to quote directly) "My one regret is that more and more it has become an insular collection of geeks that can get along just fine without me." Perhaps someone got left out of a discussion or two, or doesn't understand why he's not being called on to make ALL of the decisions. Sounds more like pouting than any real political or moral beliefs.
Suse has already openly supported RH's direction. I'm sure one of the reasons they're not more active in the fight is that SCO has already been stopped in Germany.

how this kid DIDN'T vote in the latest Slashdot poll.
I wouldn't think that only 2 usb ports would cause the limit.... there are external usb hubs for expanding that sort of thing.
Those who are TRULY intelligent can also spell TRULY....
