I'd probably go back to my other love in life, racing. I'd go for CASCAR (being Canadian and all), no holds barred.
However, given the fact I'm engaged and just bought a new car... I'd need a substantial amount of cash (at LEAST what I make now) in order to make the jump.
On second thought... NAH. Wouldn't do it. I love being "the man"!
Time to move to home-based T3 and better hosting services. At least in that case, your stuff isn't all over somedumbguy.com's webserver and you don't have access to whoever thinks THEY should have access.
There are 5 supposed reasons... but only 4 interested parties in the publicity photo for UNIX?
I guess I are smerter den dey are!
Now that they've managed to have the entire UNIX fanclub in one room... did they get cookies? What about milk? Was the milk available for the low, low price of $100,000/L to help pay SCO's legal bills? Or are they "automatically-added legal buffer funds" in the UNIX licensing?:D
That some of the guys who coded something that worked with such critical hardware MUST have been employed for M$ at some point?
Them: "Crap. A bug. 5 minutes to coffee break. It'll sort itself out, I'm off to check the stock prices."
Their management: "Be sure to drum up the fact we have a patch for a bug, but not what the bug really is, how severe it is, or how it got there! But patch it quick!"
They probably run around the office all day, screaming that the aliens are coming, and barricade themselves inside the washrooms:)
How else do you expect some tech startups hooked on wacky tobbacky to behave?
Come with me, to the dark side of the farce...

Darl & SCO Overview
·
· Score: 0
Darl's changed his opinions so many times it's not funny.
Now, to incorporate the analogy of marriage and hookers, Darl will give free licensing and prosecution immunity if you ship all able-bodied women to his compound for "education";)
Darl - he's no geek, cause his tan can't be beat.
I like it!
Good use of LEDs, a quick processor... and a true DVD drive never hurts.
AND it can game like a real PC with that nice Raedon 9600! Imagine that!
I can hear the stampede of overjoyed Mac users rushing to buy them now... and their sighs of dismay that the mouse has MORE THAN ONE BUTTON! THE HORROR!
What intrigues me about the whole matter is that he suddenly decides to do the test NOW, and there's conveniently another, independent lab waiting to verify the results.
Just troubling is all.
It looks like the SCO war chest for all of this litigation is running low, and they're going after companies that might be stupid enough to pay them off! What a novel idea!
If they put as much energy into displaying what they think is wrong, as opposed to thinly-veiled threats and extortion, this would have been settled a long, LONG time ago.
But then again, this IS SCO we're talking about here. Common sense went on vacation quite some time ago and hasn't been seen or heard from since in that location.
Good thing I'm not there.
Do they seriously expect this to work?
What's next, they're going to start suing people for having certain MAC addresses? Those can be spoofed too, you know.
WAY too much assumption going on here. I'd better see some third party security firms authenticating these IPs as being valid and offending (somehow).
WAY too many people stand to lose a lot if they were ghosted.
What else do you want them to say?
"We verfied our baseline code against the vapourware provided by the SCO, have decided that the whole OS is built upon a house of SCO cards, and we're discarding Red Hat entirely..."
What's the next OS going to be called then? Yellow Touque?
Not a bad box (seeing as my attempt at humour was ill-modded), but I think an AGP slot would have been better served than a PCI slot. A 2.8 GHz in there with HT would make for a nice cancer research rig.
And the world will come to you. Voice your concerns well, and no harm should come to you.
However, if we "techno-babble" them to death, no-one will ever give an IS/IT guy the time of day.
...and not nuts in a good way either.
MS is out to prove they're a corporate juggernaut, flattening all in their wake. In the process, they may have turned the kid from a well-meaning, code-adept HTML artist into a premier hacker, and we won't know till it's all over.
Yet another reason to spur decent software development for Linux. MS doesn't need our cash when they're raping 17-year olds over theirnameSOFT.com.
Now, just to find a way to integrate this into my apartment without the landlord having a seizure (literally!)... hmm.
There isn't much heat in our bedroom, but with a decently overclocked Barton and a stock Palomino in custom cases, we don't get cold toes;)
I wonder if the boss will let me convert from fluorescent at work...

Oh man, T-R was /.ed. Damage and Diss are gonna be furious... with laughter? :)
