From the paper it's a modification of something called GALA solution.
Sounds awful.
I'd suggest they add garlic, and serve alongside a puree made with celeriac and apple. Or if they insist on using the feet as well, something like juniper berries might work.
Excellent summary. What's missing from it are the consequences from the recent meltdown.
In the US, 8 million or so jobs have been lost, and most of them are not coming back. The easy and affordable credit that fueled growth in the financial services sector, for example, is gone and along with it the white collar jobs of people it employed. The real estate bubble (years in the making) provided jobs for both skilled and unskilled workers. Talk to a plumber or electrician lately? Most are having trouble finding work. Then, of course, there's the accelerated downward pressure on wages and benefits, lower levels of consumer spending, and general lack of confidence.
Take those factors into account, and the chronology you outlined looks even more depressing. Small wonder that the focus (for both individuals and government) is on education and re-training. For what jobs? I doubt anyone knows.
We must have skipped over the part where it became reasonable for a government to tell you that you must lock your door.
Why not? They can tell you to mow your grass when the weeds get too high, and they can tell you to fix broken windows and doors. And if you're an absentee landlord whose property is used by drug dealers and vagrants, you can be sure you'll be held liable for the goings on.
Seems to me that along with benefits of living in a modern society there are obligations, something that all the Captain Liberty folks complaining about government (while waxing nostalgic about a mythical past they never knew) ought to consider.
As for the ruling, well, it's a legal issue, innit? Opinions are irrelevant. That's not to say I endorse the idea, just that it could be viewed as reasonable. If not, it's certainly more reasonable than nutty opinions or conspiracy theories about the government or the entertainment industry.
I hope it's more effective than your first post attempts or somebody will be calling you Daddy soon;)
If not, he'll be lucky if someone calls him Daddy. Chances are better that he'll be foregoing a large portion of his income for the next 18 years with nothing to show for it.
... using a bastardized version of RegEx that requires a lot of backslashes to do anything complicated
Actually, that's not correct. My terminology and details may be a bit off, but Vim (along with ed, sed, grep, awk, etc.) uses Basic Regular expressions. Extended regular expressions (along the lines of egrep, etc.) came later. Those did away with most of the escaping that you're referring to. Then, of course, there's Perl (and Perl-compatible) regular expressions. They make everything else look unwieldly by comparision. Vim does have offer integration with Perl (a compile-time option) so that's your answer if you find Vim too old fashioned.
It also provides a ridiculous amount of control over cursor position via keyboard commands which can certainly increase your efficiency at editing code (since you rarely need to take your hands off the keyboard to move the mouse).
And once you've discovered that, you'll never quite get used to the fact that everything else is positively clumsy, awkward, and inefficient.

For the Gentleman with Discriminating Tastes
The only smut I see being peddled is in the grocery checkout aisle. I'm told people enjoy reading it, and don't have a problem with the kids seeing it.
There are a multitude of aftermarket CPU coolers...
I spent several mostly unproductive years occupying my spare time (while offering up my spare dollars) by sifting through the specs, recommendations, user comments, product lifecycles, and marketing campaigns of what I'll call the Cool and Quiet industry. I say that as preface to the following comment:
They're not coolers, they're fucking fans. Get over it.
Some are "less cheap" than others, but they're all made of plastic, they all spin, they all make noise, and they all suck. Or blow. Whatever. And eventually, they fall.
And if "noise" isn't a problem for you, you're either deaf, wear head phones, have grown accustomed to the excessive ambient din of your environment, never learned to tell the difference, live in a trailer park where classic 70s rock rules the day, are slightly retarded, or all the above.
Late in the 19th century, many attempts to devise a portable electric lamp had been made, but the early ones were unsuccessful. Now a common household item, the lowly flashlight was once considered a novel toy. The first flashlight, or electric hand torch, was invented about 1896. Early portable electric lights were called "flash lights" since they would not give a long steady stream of light. The flashlights introduced in 1898 by Conrad Hubert's company, that would later become Eveready, were more trustworthy making Eveready the leading name in flashlights.
Note that in most other languages, it's called a varation of "lamp" or "lantern".
This is why you don't hire criminals, ex or otherwise. Pretty much by definition, they don't have normal social controls in their heads that make them worthwhile employees.
So your argument is "Those People aren't like the rest of us"? LOL.
Well, yeah, but I don't see anything in the article that suggested this was, for example, a cabinet level appointment, All I see is McNealy submitted a position paper and is described generically as an "advisor".
If Scott McNealey is working in an informal capacity, then he would be where Warren Buffet and Rev. Billy Graham (other "advisors") are: going about their own business.
I'd also note that most such tags work just fine in the Plain Old Text option, with the added bonus of being able to use ordinary linebreaks to separate paragraphs. I suspect the majority of "wall of text" posts are from people who default to using the HTML Formatted Option. How to explain all the other badly-formatted posts is left as an exercise for the reader.
My ISP started doing some redirection and they got an immediate complaint from me. In person, at their local office.
I imagine that approch would yield a response that consisted of little other than a look of confusion of amazement, or a blank stare that barely suppressed the "I wish this guy would stop talking and go away."
When I call ATT and they discover I have fixed IP addresses, I immediately get transferred in a flurried confusion to second level tech support. When the next level discovers my connection doesn't require PPPoE, I get transferred again. The higher you go, the better your chances of resolving issues, but the less they care about your opinions. And if they do care, the most you can hope for is sympathy. They're typically a customer of the ISP just like you are, and subject to the same problems.
I find comfort in the fact that ATT's employees (field techs included) have to wait on hold and deal with the same idiots the rest of us deal with.
If they can keep it up for another 65 years, they can claim the title of longest running soap opera rightfully theirs.
Regrettably, the nature of the ongoing case is both funny and sad.
I'd encourage anyone who insists on weighing in on complex[1] legal issues by offering up naively simplistic interpretations, or worse, blathering on about "We used to have the Rule of Law. Now we have the Rule of Men.", to read through the annotated filing, while making note of the title[2].
As a side note, I think PJ deserves an award of some sort. And a raise. And if she just got a raise, she deserves another.
2. If an argument with your boss, spouse or significant other hasn't led you to the conclusion that All Things Said or Written are subject to interpretation, then you'll have no problem accepting SCO's Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law. It says so, right there, right?

Er, the whole point is you can't assign away any responsibilities if you've sold it at all. It must be fit for purpose.
It's a limited ruling, but my hope is that one day a Ralph Nader crusader will arise in our midst declaring Windows to be "Unsafe at any Speed". ;-)

My employees have two rules to follow: 1. Get the job done. 2. Don't embarrass the company.
Seems reasonable, but Number 2 may be harder than you think.

Has this been done before? From the "samplebook.pdf" (page 6) provided:
I'd say it's never been done, at least not in any of the books I've owned. ;-)
As I maintain my own DNS servers and such, I was curious how this worked. Here's what I learned ...
For real fun, slave the root, arpa, etc. zones. As a ferinstance:
zone "." { // F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
type slave;
file "slave/root.slave";
masters {
192.5.5.241;
};
};
zone "arpa" { // F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. // F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
type slave;
file "slave/arpa.slave";
masters {
192.5.5.241;
};
};
zone "in-addr.arpa" {
type slave;
file "slave/in-addr.arpa.slave";
masters {
192.5.5.241;
};
}

Err, you might want to consider replacing all that nonsense with something like

Better yet, use pgrep/pkill
