Why can't we just start checksumming IP addresses. The number of guys who get IPv4 addresses wrong (even on my intranet - I tell them that the server sits at 10.1.0.1 and they type in 10.0.1.0 or something else) is amazing. And don't get me started on NAT
I've had these problems with Acer before. They won't replace the bevel without replacing the screen (which costs); but worse, they won't replace the casing when it has broken, as it involves replacing the motherboard. Why the casing is integral to the motherboard I cannot understand. This means you really need to show 'motherboard damage' before they will do anything under their accidental damage cover.
And then there is the wait. I live in the UK; Acer keeps its European operations mostly in Eire. Any repair has to be flown their. Major repairs are flown out to Asia. The last AD problem I had left me without a laptop for 6 weeks; they wouldn't give me a temporary computer.
Jail time, yes, but not from the RIAA - a felony is dealt with by the relevant law enforcement agency. All the RIAA is entitled to is redress for lost sales and destruction of merchandise.
Uh, Excuse me, but what version of the kernel are you running? Right. I need to confiscate the computer, its case, the papers you were using with it, and your eyeballs - as they saw it. We may at a later date need your hands.
These are the people who won't have the money to pay if they are sued. So the RIAA tries to beat them up. Beating up the little guy won't do much. Stopping the dealer further up the chain - now there's a choice in targets.
1) Impersonating an officer
2) Threats to detain
3) Theft by intimidation (in the UK it is a crime to go up and make someone 'agree' by threats of force)
As far as the RIAA goes, they can have no right to threaten to detain someone. All RIAA cases to date have been civil, for damages. Nobody can be detained by a civil court. Also the goods could not be confiscated unless they proved they were violating their copyright (how do they no what's on the disks? - do they have portable DVD players to go along with their stencilled suits?). Which would take at least 6 months. They wouldn't sue these people anyway - they haven't enough money to be worth suing. So they resort to force.

The.jpgs that NASA releases from the HST can't really be called 'false coloured' as they aren't the real data. Let me explain to those who don't spend their lives processing HST data.
The data that comes off the HST is reserved for one year to the requesting individual/organisation (and, yes, this is controversial). But it is nothing like the images that NASA releases for the general public. The HST data comes down in a series of CCD output prints, often with whatever spectroscopy data has been requested, most often as a wavelength/intensity matrix. You can't dump that easily into any image editor; it's just a string of numbers. Equally if you dump all the spectra onto one image you will see a nearly black and white picture. So you select the spectra that interest you, and look for anomalies. The resulting pictures used are of little use to the non-astronomer - they aren't full colour, and are often just 4-bit colour showing intensity of a particular spectrum. The pretty pictures come from working out what looks good and combining it, so all images are 'false colour' in some way or another.
I don't know about the Spirit mission, but I'd guess the same applied
The carbon fibre they use is the 'space age' carbon fibre used on the space shuttle. So it shouldn't break.
However, if you do break it, do not try to re-enter the earth's atmosphere with is as your heatshield - this may cause what NASA calls LOV/C (Loss Of Vehicle or Crew). And NASA said that the Columbia's RCC should not have broken in the circumstances.
I'll object to a legal requirement to prove that the passwords a program supplies are secure. It isn't the programmers' responsibility to know what level of protection users expect, especially if he puts something in (as in the EULA), about not relying on the software.
Ever heard of rules? Outlook will auto delet these receipts if you ask it to. What the point is, apart from making dumb employees think the e-mails must be read, I have no idea.
.Net development costs 25% lower than Linux
Even if that were true, to develop cheaply, you need some developers familiar with the language, and an established corpus of ideas and methods about how to get the language to work.
So. How many.Net developers are out there? And how much information from those in the field is there about.Net

If and only if the company officers believe in good faith that their IP is being infringed, because of their duty to maximise shareholder value, they are oblidged to sue.
Personally, I couldn't believe that, so I would feel under no obligation to sue anybody.
But, one can make a good case that if Boies (one of the most famous lawyers in the country - look at who he has represented) told me that my IP was being infringed and that I could recover lost revenue, with the amount at stake, I would have to think very hard about where my responsibility lay.
Hold on! Darl needs the stories to come out simply to keep the interest up, and to keep his ideas alive. If we seem to need these stories, next he will claim he is doing a public service by providing them. Although, I thought a public service litigator was usually called a district attourney.
The simple point is up to now they have only threatened to sue people. Now they have made a specific, false, claim, which would at the very least permit a recipient of the letter to ask the court for clarification (an action that only carries legal costs - but what costs to SCO if the court found their claims invalid!)
Sweden had a notable border dispute with Finland over the Aaland islands (the A has an accent, as in Angstrom); this was solved by the League of Nations (the predecessor of the UN), in one of its few successful resolutions.

We've been saying that 2.6 is probably clear. SCO don't think so. That could be a problem.

Under British law, I can so far see a case for:
1) Impersonating an officer
2) Threats to detain
3) Theft by intimidation (in the UK it is a crime to go up and make someone 'agree' by threats of force)

That would suggest that Linux would also be a major player. First mover advantage isn't dead yet.

This is not the end. This is not even the beginning of the end. But it may be, the end of the beginning.
Remember, we have a long way to go yet. Now, IBM can at least find out what they are accused of and trash SCO. But that is not the end.
