  1. DISTURBING FINDING on SCO Lists Specific Code-Infringement Claims · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Not sure if this is old news, but when i looked up "linux" on thescogroup.com's main page in their search bar, i got this page: http://www.thescogroup.com/scosource/linuxlicense. html As it states at the top of the above link, "SCO Intellectual Property License for Linux" and near the bottom, "End users who purchase this license are granted the right to use the SCO IP in Linux in binary format only. The license is available immediately and can be purchased by credit card through our online store." Below this was a "Buy Now" button. This to me is frankly, quite disturbing that they are already seeking money from linux users. When I clicked on the "Buy Now" button I was redirected to a page with the following options: SCO IP Paid Up License - 1-CPU - $699.00 SCO IP Paid Up License - 2 CPU - $1,149.00 SCO IP Paid Up License - 4-CPU - $2,499.00 SCO IP Paid Up License - 8-CPU - $4,999.00 SCO IP Paid Up License - Additional CPU - $749.00 SCO IP Paid Up License - Desktop (Note: CPU Licensing is not applicable to Desktop systems) - $199.00 Thescogroup.com should be shut down and prevented from collecting any "licensing fees" before it is proven that there was copying of code and that SCO is due some reimbursement(sp).

  2. Re:MyDoom on Microsoft Sits on Security Flaw for Six Months · · Score: 1

    Disable Hiding of known file extensions in explorer. This will solve your "critical vulnerability".

  3. Re:MyDoom on Microsoft Sits on Security Flaw for Six Months · · Score: 1

    doesn't matter what email client is involved? What about linux/unix email clients? Or linux/unix in general, they aren't vulnerable to windows virii, nor can they run an .exe file

  4. Re:MyDoom on Microsoft Sits on Security Flaw for Six Months · · Score: 1

    Human Exploits. As in someone opening an attachment that contains a virus. Don't think linux is vulnerable to MyDoom but i'm not sure, anyone?

  5. Re:Possible Matchups ... on EA Vs. Marvel Fighting Games Announced · · Score: 1

    EA has some great video game characters *cough* like Aragorn, etc.. from Return of the Kings game (only cool possibility) GOD (from Black & White), Harry Potter, The Sims, James Bond, Some players from Ultima Online?, Patrick Galloway from Undying, TY the Tasmanian Tiger, A soldier from Battlefield 1942, Christopher Stone from Freedom Fighters, Maybe SimGolf vs Marvel? or Command & Conquer vs Marvel? Save me jeebus!

  6. What EA Characters are there? on EA Vs. Marvel Fighting Games Announced · · Score: 1

    Sure marvel has some cool fighting characters, but what does EA have? Sports games like nhl or nfl, nba, etc, etc... Are we going to see marvel characters fight hockey players or something?

  7. Re:Why dont they develop a better battery first on Samsung Puts Satellite TV in Cell Phones · · Score: 1

    We all know cellphones batteries suck as it is. How much power usage is this satelite tv phone gonna suck?

  8. Re:I miss Progressive Networks... on Three Vulnerabilities Discovered in Real Player · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry but Real Networks has always been shoddy. Anyone ever use their download manager? Its just as bad as RealPlayer.

  9. Re:Slack's scripts are fine... on Which Style Init Scripts Do You Prefer? · · Score: 1

    There's nothing wrong with any of the scripts.
    I have used linux for 7 years now (mainly slackware and mandrake) and there is nothing wrong with any of the scripts IMO.
