What about CF bulbs for your garage in the middle of the winter? They're probably OK in Arizona, but what about freezing or subzero temperatures, like where I live? They don't work under those conditions (I've tried it).
I'm sure there are plenty of good uses for CF bulbs, but prohibition of them will cause too many unintended consequences. Consumers should be encouraged to use CF bulbs where they make sense, rather than being forced to.
That's pretty typical. The price always seems to skyrocket on bad news, at the end of a quarter, or right before conference calls (coming up on Jan 17).
Someone's losing a lot of money trying to keep the price up at these levels.
Don't worry all of the executive types there will bleed it dry and walk away sitting pretty. I don't think there are too many real employees left, at least according to the latest rumors and management's refusal to discuss it. The ex-employees will probably just omit that they ever worked for SCO on their resumes...
"...it asks you exactly what it is that you want it to do, and then does precisely and only that."
I took me less than 10 days for my very first Linux install (the author mentions using about nine different versions of Linux) using Gentoo a couple of years ago.
This was a Stage 1 install (the one that takes the longest and requires the most user input/interaction) on an old AMD K6 laptop with some heavy optimization, and included building X and a bunch of useful apps (I can't remember which ones I compiled at the moment), and it really did exactly what I told it to do. Which is what I would expect.
Maybe I just had a better experience than the author.

1. Yes, it costs the equivalent of a few thousand dollars to go to Fahrschule (driving school) and you have to be 18 to be able to get your license.
2. The Autobahn is about twice as thick as the interstate. As a result, it doesn't crack as much. And when it does, they rip out that section and replace it. Think about that the next time you're on I-70 in Utah (north of Moab).
3. There are speed limits in lots of places on the Autobahn, especially around the cities.
4. Speed records were set, yes, even with its curves following the natural terrain.
5. Try driving on the Autobahn during Sommerferien (summer vacation). Parts of the Autobahn can literally turn into parking lots.
I think the biggest factors are 1 (better trained drivers who have to pass real tests) and 2 (better maintained roads) along with cars that are built to travel at higher speeds.
I don't see what the problem is here, people! Things are great, couldn't be better!
First off, as to the delays on filing, we've got some deep divers from MIT working on it right now.
Plus, our more than 4,000 developers are being well compensated, morale couldn't be higher!
Finally, the new SCOXE listing will confuse our enemies at Groklaw and the Yahoo message boards, so only we can post our viewpoints there. Also, no google bombing of "SCOXE" and "litigious bastards".
Things are great! In fact, they couldn't be better!
So! You probably thought our case was dead... DIDN'T YOU!? I got away from the judge at the last second and now I'm REALLY going to cause some trouble! In fact, that's what the next part of the case is going to be about! Yeah, that's the ticket! Me and my exciting adventures as I conquer the Penguins for the greater glory of... ME! It will have action! It will have drama! It will have gratuitous alien sex scenes! It's gonna be great!
Our local radio club did a foxhunt sometime last year.
Antennas ranged from simple yagis, phased paper clips on a yardstick connected with coax, a mailing tube and aluminum foil, one guy even had his hand held radio inside a metal trash can. Most were homebrew, but some were commercially built.
It's pretty easy to do, actually. Some people used bi-directional antennas, rotated them until they could no longer hear the signal, and then went off to either of the null directions. Others used highly-directional antennas to point them in the right direction. Aiming it towards the transmitter might get you close to the right direction, but having a null in the back somewhere really helps to pinpoint things. You just keep doing this until you find the signal source.
You just have to worry about the terrain affecting the transmitted signal (your antenna might lead you to where the transmitted signal is reflecting off something). Oh, and you'll get lots of strange looks from people.
Let's wait and see what the SCO Information Minister has to say first. This is all probably good news to SCO, seeing how IBM has been "delaying" like crazy.

Sir Arthur: Explain again how sheeps' bladders may be employed to prevent earthquakes.
Sir Bedemir: Oh, certainly, sir.

Next, I suppose, aliens from Planet Zontar in Zeta Reticuli will have stolen those very same computers from which the Unix and Dynix code was deleted.
Well, if you ask Esker Melchior, I'm sure he'll agree that it wasn't aliens from Zontar, but really the Ixorians!

I thought this was a good movie to introduce kids to science. Wasn't really technical or anything, but learning about rockets is always fun.

All in all, another win for us.
