Though the headline was a bit misleading, implying by omission that all claims had been thrown out, I'd say that's acceptable, since the only claim not thrown out was entirely irrelevant to SCO's IP suit. SCO now has zero leverage with which to make itself a legal nuisance to DC, except court-protocal-bullshit-technicalities. Their sheer, insistent lameness has transcended absurdity, and attained a kind of tragic magnificence. Plus they lose.:D

I think that kind of IP possessiveness has less to do with wanting to be filthy rich, and more to do with the fear that someone else is going to swoop in and get filthy rich off what you've given away.
Blech, my bad. I actually pulled that figure from bhopal.net, which claims "somewhere between 16,000 and 30,000 dead", but then decided to replace the link with the more neutral Wikipedia... Figures aren't relevant to my argument, but the inaccuracy sure discredits it, huh?:(
Consider the terrorists that used nerve gas in the Tokyo subway...
OTOH, you have the 16,000 or so very efficiently gassed to death that unlovely evening in Bhopal. An accident, but an inspiration to aspiring DIY-WMDers everywhere, I'm sure... The danger in this day and age isn't that the jerks of the planet will create a weapon - it's that they've noticed lately our civilization is made out of frickin' weapons.
That said, I have no idea specifically what biomedical-type hackers could find to 'sploit. IANABT.

Two of you posted that same joke... is it a quote from something?
Holy God, that's funny. The dramatic way it looms over all of Europe, so menacingly... dangly...
Well I wouldn't like to be stuck behind one in a cinema...
We humans always project our own traits (ie, life) onto the unknown. It's a hell of a hobble on the frontier sciences.

Eh? I don't find Mozilla/Firefox to have a slower startup than any other browser I've tried (IE, Safari, Opera). Am I missing something?
IE is a WMD.
