  1. Re:Before you flame Time... on Bill Gates, Time Magazine "Person of the Year" · · Score: 1

    Yes, and Stalin was too - twice. Apparently Bin Laden was a contender after 9/11 - not because he did anything great, but because he made the news.

  2. And? on 19 million Amps · · Score: -1, Troll

    And?

  3. Re:Dell UNIX on Dell Founder Dropped $100M Onto Red Hat · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Yes, these were the 486 days, but it had nothing to do with NextStep. Timeframe is right - early 90's. It was discontinued in 1993. It had quite a cult following. Do some googling and find out more if you are interested.

  4. Dell UNIX on Dell Founder Dropped $100M Onto Red Hat · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Once upon a time, Dell had their own SVR4 UNIX Distro. Perhaps Mr Dell has a passion for OS's.

  5. OpenServer? on IBM To Demo OpenPower 710 At SCALE 3x · · Score: 0

    Do IBM know that OpenServer is an SCO Product? :-) http://www.sco.com/products/openserver507/

  6. Maclaren F1 on Hondas in Space · · Score: 0

    If i'm not mistaken - Elon Musk owns a Maclaren F1 - a cool US$1m and it does 240mph. I wonder how reliable IT is?

  7. Re:From the UK it's easy and cheap on How Do You Make International Calls? · · Score: 0

    For the best rates on call-through services in the UK, check www.niftylist.co.uk - you should be paying 1p/min to the USA (and most other civilized countries).

  8. Call-through services on How Do You Make International Calls? · · Score: 0

    If you're in the UK check out http://www.niftylist.co.uk/ and use one of the call-through services. Most places I call are 1p per minute.

  9. Maybe.... on SCO Sells First Linux Licenses in UK · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Maybe this company actually did violate SCO's copyrights and are now paying up. It's not an impossibility. IMHO SCO are just playing this up for as much publicity as they can get.

  10. BitTorrent on 7 hour BBS Documentary Nearly Ready · · Score: 0, Interesting

    How long before these dvd's are ripped and on some BBS/P2P network? Place your bets.

  11. Re:Except he is British on Astronaut Wants Space Program With No Frills · · Score: 0

    He is an American citizen. Just happens he was born in the UK.

  12. SCO did this first on Linux Apps On Solaris · · Score: 0

    Believe it or not, SCO did this about 5 years ago. They pulled this functionality out of UnixWare when the lawsuits started flying.

  13. How nice of you on SCO Announces Product Line Updates · · Score: -1, Troll

    How nice of you to give SCO such a large free advertisement on such a well known site.

  14. Re:The Skype Telephone on BT Plans Move To IP Telephony, Starting Next Year · · Score: 1

    Easy, they'll charge by the Megabyte.
