I heard that there is some scientist who has developed a system of four AI controlled robotic arms that will allow him to manually control the reaction. Apparently they hook into his nervous system. Could be interesting.
...saying we should pay... for something that doesn't exist.
That could land them in hot water in Australia, depending on how they choose to use it. ASIC doesn't take very lightly to those sort of tactics.
In the end, though, SCO will run away from the "there is no linux" claim, by stating that it was taken out of context during a media interview or some shit like that.
OT: Should the word "Linux" be capitalized or not? (thinking of the recent Internet/Web conversation)
I work for a company who develops mobile-phone applications, so I carry a lot of different phones for testing:
The whole Nokia range is solid (from a quality point of view. The N-Gage blows goats for what its designed to do). The newer batteries don't seem to last as long as the older ones, either in terms of holding charge or number of charge cycles.
The middle-upper Motorola range is good. Their bottom end phones are just too bottom end, and tend to cram in features at the expense of quality.
Sony-Ericsson phones are shit. If you want a tri-band phone, nobody has topped the Ericsson T-68A, but its a bit long in the tooth now.
Siemens are a bit hit or miss. Their more expensive ones are pretty good, but I wouldn't recommend them over Nokia or Motorola in this price bracket.
(Acutally, that may be somewhat difficult as they are permanently glued to their screens, but I digress)
I know a few guys who would rather land their Jumbo before looking at their wives in lingeree (sp?).
But then, you have to ask what sort of hot babe is going to end up with a guy who pays attention to their computer that too the half-naked woman in the house.
Being serious for a moment, maybe they could use that as a marketting point.
"For every 3 gamers who buy one of these, we give one to a disabled person who desparately needs it". Do it right, they may be able to set themselves up as a charity and get tax breaks
World Vision spends rediculous percentage of its donations on marketting, but they've worked out (I hope) that the net amount of money passing to the causes they promote is maximised in this way.
So how about a charity or company who works to provide benefits to the disabled? And to top it all off, we never need feel guilty about computer games again.
Gotta admit I know nothing about SAIT, and a very quick websearch keeps popping up the name "Sony".
Who actually makes the drives?
If they are Sony, I'm not going near them until they're absolutely tried and tested. In the last 10 years, every Sony badged media from 5-1/4" floppies to Exabyte 8mm tapes to DLT40 to SDLT to DVD-R has given me grief. I don't know why I've had so much trouble.. other people swear by them... but I will not touch Sony media. Guess I'm just jinxed-
SDLT600 is your friend. No, I don't work for quantum, and the SDLT is far from perfect in the resiliant-to-shock department, but they are the best we've got at the moment. IMHO.
What traumatic child-hood experience causes you to lump "panty sniffer" in with those other extremes?
Panty sniffing is not a problem (obviously between consenting adults)

Hell yeah, especially if she works with a lot of other women, who will then go home and abuse the crap out of their husbands.
Last time I sent my fiancee flowers (the classic dozen roses "just because") the receptionist rang _every_ other woman on the both floors of the company to come and look. All the male employees kept asking her what I'd done wrong.
I have to say that I see flowers as being a bit impersonal. I send an email to an address, they deduct my credit card and boom. Its five minutes. I spend more time than that on slashdot. But, women love it, and that's what important.
Man, no matter how stunning the girl is the night before when she's dolled up to the nines, they all look like bride of chucky after spending the night sleeping in their makeup and hairgel.
I think most women would agree with me on that one... the scariest thing about the first night you spend with a new boyfriend isn't the sex, its knowing that he's going to see what you really look like first thing in the morning. But, hey, when we accept you morning-breath and all, it must be love.

That's almost reason enough to hope that SCO stay solvent.
Emphasis on almost.
Wow.
This "John Doe" guy is absolutely fucked.
Blah. Above is obviously for "Celular" not "Cordless" phones. Its way too early.
But for anything "radio", including in-home cordless phones, I've also had great experiences with Uniden.

Samsung. Nah. Not yet.
Anything else. Don't touch it.
Tell me about it... and we're not even married yet.
I've always sworn to monogomy, but shit... I'm starting to get the impression guys start looking elsewhere simply because there is no action at home.
(yeah. Feeling bitter this morning. She wriggled out of it _again_ last night.)
You need to meet more flight sim addicts.

"Get off the computer"
"I can't, Mum. I'm helping a disabled guy".
This just means that now she'll have logs to present to the court:
"Yes, your honor, and these prove that he was looking at my breasts while talking to me".

Except Lucus will replace Carrie Fisher with Natalie Portman in her underwearless outfit from Episode II.
Actually, maybe that's an edition I would buy...
Um.. pr0n?

That's because the Decepticons took them all back to cybertron. Duh!
Thanks. Now there's half chewed mash-potato on my monitor.
Not that I chew mash potato, of course....
So russia has their own goatse guy now.
A lot, but the control key under the pinky doesn't buy me at all.
Maybe because, as well as being a touchtyper (more or less), I'm also a piano player (more or less), so maybe I have above average pinky strength.
And I don't use emacs.
Thanks. Coffee out the nose...
I've had some interesting "first morning" experiences, but... man... Keith Richards would take the cake.

Nao. E slashdot.
Talvez esta ligação ajudará explicar.
I'm suprised at the amount of bile over here over the placement of the cntl key.
Gotta say that I don't care where they put it, just please... EVERYBODY PUT IT IN THE SAME SPOT.
Its switching from one keyboard layout to another that drives me nuts.
