The question is though, does it matter? What Company in their right mind would buy an SCO Unix system now?
Surely the only hope SCO has is to *try* to keep whatever Customer base it has - they certainly haven't a winning edge now on new ground as they have made themselves the end point of what not to touch with a bargepole.

The whole descension of Linux arose from 'doing' it from scratch.
I don't think Linus, or any other coder on the kernel would grab BSD code to do a job (or even looked at it to see how it worked), as that then isn't the same as writing it from scratch (which is the fun).
I mean, they are all switched on guys, so don't really need to anyway.
These problems were always there in the last Debian release - it's just such a long time ago all Debian users forgot about them (the debian see! scrolls recorded it)...... good job I use Slack;-)
BACK TO MICROSOFT. Take Independence Air, a low-cost Washington (D.C.) carrier that had been running the reservation system on its Web site with Linux. The company, which uses Microsoft's Windows operating systems in most other pieces of its business, needed to hire consultants who could write code for Linux, since its Windows developers couldn't.
What can 'Windows developers' do? Use a mouse?
And if this statement is to do with the code running on a web server (Apache, I presume), then even more so I feel they hired the wrong 'developers' to begin with.
Heh. So what is air then? So it extracts oxygen, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, cigarette smoke, farts, and that terrible smell I get when at the train station?
SCUBA divers used compressed NORMAL air in the tanks. You can dive safely down to 50 metres on that (this is nothing to do with 'the narks yet').
Profession divers, usually military types (Royal navy etc.) use compressed air to deeper depths (70 metres).
The problem comes when the ratio of oxygen is greater than normal) - you can die of oxygen poisoning - hence why saturation divers have to breathe a reduced mixture of oxygen with nitrogen.
So, this is great for the pure rebreathers, but not for the common man if it do9es just extract pure oxygen from the water.
The next step is to get them to report the news unbiasedly (during the last Iraq war, BBC was known here in the UK as the 'Baghdad broadcasting Corp.'); and we all know what their technical expertise is like explaining computer issues.
I disagree. Redhat make their money from support and the support of the code - all the code is released under GPL, and you can download it.
I think they are gearing up to become a fully supportive company for businesses - where you can't afford to produce mainline code that isn't up to scratch - and let the Fedora code (their off-spring) take it's first tentative steps away from the nest.
Bloody politicians haven't a clue - ID cards will not change anything.
1) Not everybody* has hands (for fingerprints) or eyes (for retina scans) or whatever else goes into this. What happens to these people?
2) When it gets forged (it will), then there will be no doubt (no questions) on producing the forged ID - a failsafe forgery. At least if a password is cracked, you can start again and change it. You can't exactly change your DNA over night...
The only reason they are pushing the ID card shit is for BIG BROTHER control of the generic population[s]. Terrorists etc. etc. etc. will be laughing and totally unaffected (like robbers need a gun licence to hold up a bank).
Slashdot Mirror
That has nothing to do with it. You need lots and lots of money and good legal writers to file a patent.
Microsoft has both - the rest of us just do the stuff to see it given away 'legally'.
Microsoft cannot ever be stopped on the Patent front. No one could ever afford to defend a case against them.
Yes, I read that too ages ago.

All the EU did is waste millions in taxpayer money
Maybe, but look at how rich the Euro-MP's got from MS back handers to actually not DO anything but SHOUT LOUDLY to make it seemed like they was...
Yep, I understand that, but all Linus done there is allow the contributors to add that code to the kernel.

Microsoft Office team have all ready won this, sneaking clippy past Gates and Balmers security code analysis?
Yea. Security reasons - you don't want ALL the last 10% of clean boxes on the net open to allow virus and worms et al.
I mean, it may break the Internet!
MS do have a point here...
Maybe MS could just make it easier by letting us know what actually *will* make it into Longhorn...
The usual... trojans, worms, clippy...

In all these so called 'best of's', Dad's Army never gets a look in.
To me, that was, and still is the funniest comedy series ever made, and it is timeless - still funny as hell after all this time.

Just more FUD - move along.
Already been done with SCUBA.

'Extracts air...'
That is a bad report.
SCUBA divers used compressed NORMAL air in the tanks. You can dive safely down to 50 metres on that (this is nothing to do with 'the narks yet').
Profession divers, usually military types (Royal navy etc.) use compressed air to deeper depths (70 metres).

I hope they don't wake up some million year old creature that then terrorises Tokyo and makes all the girls scream!
I have always used the text site as it loads almost instantly - any interesting story that requires pictures I then head over to the 'graphic' site.

C:
printf("%10.2f", x);
C++:
cout << setw(10) << setprecision(2) << showpoint << x;
Java:
java.text.NumberFormat formatter = java.text.NumberFormat.getNumberInstance();
formatter.setMinimumFractionDigits(2);
formatter.setMaximumFractionDigits(2);
String s = formatter.format(x);
for (int i = s.length(); i < 10; i++)
System.out.print(' ');
System.out.print(s);
T-Rex was king. And there are loads of articles on that too.
They are the better terrorists - less to lose when the suicide bomb goes off...
