Actually, what it says is "When installing as a restricted access user do not attempt to install over an installation in a restricted-access/shared location as this may destroy that installation." (at least, that's what's on the page you linked).
Nowhere do the release notes say that you must not install new versions over old. Having used the suite since.9 and dabbling w/Phoenix/Firebird/Firefox occasionally over it's development cycle, I am well aware that the release notes used to say that, but they no longer do.
Having said that, if you can post a link to a page that reads as you say it does, please do. Instructions like that should be featured prominently in the release notes.
As would I. I've heard a lot of anecdotal evidence that children pick sign language up quicker than spoken language. Would be interesting to know if it's been studied.
Right, and those are patents on their implementation of heating up air and blowing it out. They do not prevent you from coming up with another way to do the same thing. Patents were designed to protect the implementation of an idea, not the idea itself.
Clearly you did not read either of the linked articles, for in one of them, they specifically stated that there would be no ability to comment on documents on the site.
I was at a conference a couple of years ago, and the guest speaker was Gene Kranz, with an assist from Fred Haise. Fascinating presentation, mostly centered on the Apollo 13 mission. They did autographs after the show and I asked him, if President Bush were to stand up and say, "we're putting a man on Mars in 10 years" could we do it? (this was before Bush actually said that). He thought that we could, but we'd need to significantly improve the schools because (in his opinion) we're not cranking out enough quality engineers to do the job.
Anyway, it was a cool experience for someone who grew up following the later apollo missions/early shuttle missions.
No problem. The crazy thing is I don't really know why I checked out your journal. I'm not really into Metal, and i'm not that bored at work that I spend all day checking out user journals on/. Anyway, hope you're able to get what you need.
Totally off-topic here, but the journal entry was archived so I couldn't add a comment to your "In Search Of" journal entry. Anyway, small world. I actually work with the guy who played bass in Tension. I showed him your journal entry - he said that "Breaking Point" was never released on CD, but that it's been reissued as "Epitaph", with some additional studio & live tracks thrown in. If you're interested, go to http://www.gattismetal.com/ (the web page of the former lead guitarist of Tension) and look for the Tension link. The info you need to get your hands on a copy of "Epitaph" is on there.

I like that you failed to RT Entire FA, and therefore missed this:
so technology doesn't scare these guys. In fact, they prefer it because machines are more predictable than people, as Schmidt learned when he tried to turn around Novell.
So I guess he did mention it. I would also guess that he assumes the above is all he needs to write for his target audience to understand the points you made.
"I greatly look forward to Sun, IBM, and every other IP holder banding together and teaching Bill that he does not rule the world, no matter how much he'd like to.
Don't hold your breath waiting for Sun to join that fight. They executed a patent cross-license deal with MS about a month or so ago. Sun agreed to drop a lawsuit they had filed, and MS gave Sun aboot $2B.
Patents were intended to promote innovation. Unfortunately, they are more and more frequently being used to stifle innovation instead.

He also covered it in "behold the man". The protaganist is a time traveller who is given an opportunity to travel back in time to meet Jesus. He ends up actually becoming Jesus. It's an earlier book of Moorcock's, and not as well known (at least here in the States) as his other works.
Thanks, but the comment I was replying to specifically mentioned "top 10 towns", one of which was in Mass. The press release didn't mention 10 towns, nor did it mention Massachussetts.
Sportscasters used to say "He finally got his shooting back on track". This has gradually morphed into:
"He finally got untracked". Which, taken literally, has a completely different meaning, but people still understand what is being said, and has become common usage.
Good thing I did not short those SCO stocks before...
...because you don't like the idea of making money?
Let's see...SCOX is trading at less than $8/share today. The last time it was that low was early june of 2003. So if you shorted the stock at any time since then, you'd be a winner. hmmmm, those slashdot geeks might be pretty smart after all.
Responding to "market forces" (and God knows I'm an ESR-esque capitalist) doesn't give you the right to invade my privacy.
I agree with this 100%. However, while someone sending you 1,000 "enlarge your member" spams a day may be annoying as hell, it is in no way an invasion of your privacy.
In no way did I suggest cheating. I said that we wired the space for extra capacity, giving us an extra drop per workstation if needed. The new company is aware of the infrastructure here. They were told about it in planning meetings, and they saw it for themselves when we moved over to their network. ALL drops on the LAN are patched into the switches and monitored. If there's anything I don't understand, it's the *why* of the policy, not the *what*. I confess that I've never asked why they have a problem with hub/switches but not multiple drops at a workstation. Mostly because I don't care. I need two PCs to do my work, and I have them. Pretty simple.
Except some companies (including the giant east-coast bank that just acquired my company) do not allow hubs or switches at the desktop for security reasons. I confess that I never asked what the specific policy was, since I was in charge of wiring the space before we moved into it 3 years ago. I specified 4 cat5 drops to each workstation (office and cube), with two punched down to the phone system, and two to the network. If necessary, we could steal a 3rd drop for the LAN, but so far, 2 has been enough.

Can you at least say if Arlington, VA is on the list?
Thanks, but the comment I was replying to specifically mentioned "top 10 towns", one of which was in Mass. The press release didn't mention 10 towns, nor did it mention Massachussetts.
Where did you find the list of towns? I looked at all the reports and did a google search and couldn't come up with one.
The grammar Nazi would probably also point out that "I personally think" is redundant.
