The problem causing the rebooting may have been triggered by radiation
No, like I said, the natives over there on Mars need to take whatever they shoved into the USB port out of the USB port. It's funny that all you have to do to make a computer freak out and reboot is simply shove something conductive into the USB port. Paperclip anyone?
No, some punk alien just shoved a gum stick wrapper in the USB port. On different OSes this does different things, but it always does something. Most major MS-based OSes will wither reboot or freeze the system. So it probably got a gum wrapper jamed in there my some bored alien who wanted a cheap laugh. Silly earthlings.
It's kind of wierd for the press to actually start asking hard questions. Think tanks like Gartner et al live and die by techno-hype. The latest thing going around in CIO-land is Utility Computing, so we'll see what comes of that.
On November 21st, 2003, Novell requested additional information and documentation necessary to complete the aformentioned audit. Novell has not received a response to these requests.
The purpose of this letter is to repeat Novell's request stated in the letter you received November 21st, 2003 and ask SCO to return a full response no later than January 12th, 2004.

I think the point being made is that everyone bitches about how jobs are moving overseas because of American's extravagant lifestyles, etc. But when someone is willing to move to a place where you can live dirt-cheap, the government over there won't allow it.
And actually you can move right on in to California now, since the retarded state gov is basically trying abolish all immigration law. Come on over!
If security is your only concern you should have as many layers of security as possible with firewalls between each layer locked down as tight as possible. That said, security is never your only concern. Cost, ease of maintenance, performance, and flexibility are all important in a network design. After all, the purpose of your company is probably to get something accomplished, not to avoid getting hacked. There are times when every different network configuration is appropriate from super secure to a cable modem router to a windows box right on the internet. There is no one answer.
DAT is a ten year old perfectly good technology. I defy anyone to walk into a mall and find a DAT device, a Digitam Minidisc, or a host of others. People simply won't buy a crippled product, therefor an entire decade of technologies were exterminated. This is what happens when the law attempts to impose DRM.
I wonder how many people are turned off of personal digital audio players by the compromised sound quality of lossy codecs? The price per megabyte isn't nearly so attractive for those that prefer lossless quality.
When MiniDisc was new (and expensive), manufacturers targeted audiophiles while the advertising emphasized custom mixes and sound quality (even though ATRAC is also lossy). With "MP3 players," the emphasis is usually on quantity, not quality. Being able to accomodate realtime filters like DFX might be a way to find some middle ground.
I realize that most consumers either tolerate or are unaware of the fidelity loss, hence the continued dominance of the now inferior MP3 format. Still, I think that in order for this market to grow more quickly, it should educate consumers about the options available to them with these devices: CD quality if you want it, or OGG (etc.) if you want more tracks per MB.
If the plans by the US Office of Homeland Security come through, I won't be able to fly over to the USA with my brand new EU passport without submitting my fingerprints and/or retinal scan with the visa. The new passports will, at the request of the beforementioned office, have to feature digital biometric information that will be fed to a federal database.

um... no, I'm sorry, you can't back that one up
I think this story is a dupe. Didn't they send two of these to Mars?

SCO? You're talking about SCO, right?
Obviously billy hasn't played a dvd wtih his OWN PRODUCT.

Actually, everything was outsourced to India.

FP! Take that Trollkore, take that GNAA, take that anti-slash jihad! Props to the independent trolls!

so that the new code is certified by the source
Does anybody else see a problem with this?
You can make a book on that subject much larger if you want.
Of course, you could write the whole book in 6 words: "Don't turn on the darn computer!"

A lot of other people have done it on this story too

Or so you think! It could be intentionally giving you bad answers to screw you up!
Cast the demon away!
I am raising a sacred Jihad against sacred Jihads.

I will not submit to this.
