Put words in my mouth, I never said I "hate" all "lawyers".
With over a million attorneys in the US, there are plenty of ones that specifically deserve scorn... Gloria Allred comes to mind.
A. Your what-ifs about the effects of "Loser Pays" are unfounded speculation
B. I would love to see you provide a few examples of the instigators of a frivolous lawsuit paying damages, especially in the amount they were suing for.
Thanks for the summary, what a friggin waste of time. "Rigs for retards", apparently.
BTW, the PC game market is pathetic, the 7800 series nvidia I bought a while ago has become the least "valuable" piece of hardware I've bought in years! Great technology, no use for it re: games!
I think the xbox360 release (especially) was the final death rattle for most 3D games on Windows, only RPG crap lives on.
I think "When you are George Bush and talking about evidence of weapons of mass destruction" is a better example. Clinton lied about a blow job, Georgie about something that cost half a million Iraqis and more than 3,000 US servicemen, so far, their life.
Evidence for weapons of mass destruction? A lot of problems in that area, and whole different subject than I will address. To let everyone else in the US Government off the hook (they also review the 'evidence', and most supported it) is disinguious at best.
Yes, people reacted quickly to overseas markets, but the US stock market was already ripe for a correction. A correction it received on and since the date of the initial spike.
Read my source, and see if you still disagree. GP is broadly overstating his case, and is frankly wrong.
The market is one big lemming run. Some understand this and can win, and some deny this and will lose, but most folks are simply unaware and just run with the herd.
That is a pretty elitist statement. Given 3% correction in US markets a few weeks ago, and the subsequent actions of investors, you would be dead wrong in your analysis. bzzzzt, thanks for playing.
In case you were wondering my SCO stance: SCOX is scum and their board members, along with anyone else involved on their side from other organizations, should be criminally charged where possible in regards to this lawsuit.
What exactly is terrifying about losing a particular government subsidy?
Get off the tit! Many "artificial" subsidies need sunsetting at some point in time.
A person/party that has a proven track record of not being practical about core functions of government like the safety/security of its people would be a far more worrisome prospect than who gets the cheese...
Over a quarter billion 68000 series CPUs (including its direct variants) have been manufactured to date (probably, that particular design is still very active after 20+ years).
It's success/failure is not even remotely comparable to OS/2 or the Itanium... get a clue!

Well, it was just a comment. I liked yours, and others... and I still think the whining in these article comments is hilarious. I have creditability with all the people that count in my life, thanks though!
Your argument still holds very well for most people!
But still the zealot/academic/(completely impractical) people will need to substitute ZA for your XY, arbitrarily.
While its popular to carp about Microsoft Windows, Linux as an OS is suffering due to lack of standardization, focus and no clear leadership. A dozen different ways to accomplish the same thing is not always a plus!
How about *giving* the people that were *taxed* for that money a *break*.
It's obvious where your priorities lie. Should we institute national hurricane insurance because its too expensive in FL and LA now? How about the Federal Dam Maintainence and Verification for Local Municipalities Act of 2007?
Slashdot Mirror
"They seem to own the branding..."
Can't you even read the comments you reply to? Whats wrong with you?
"So, no, I see very little to commend the cool nerves and clear thinking of the investing community."
I never disputed your other points, I watched and read about them, much as anybody in the market.
If you can't see anything to commend about the investing community, you need new financial management!
My portfolio is doing very well, before and since the correction due to "the cool nerves and clear thinking" of my financial planner.

I would love to see where you are in life in twenty years. Unshaven in a cardboard box would be my guess!
Brilliant comment, thanks. You are really bringing something to the table. TROLL MUCH?

Is this company a hardware company at all?
They seem to own the branding, but do they even produce the mainboard PCB itself?
I'm sure they didn't write a BIOS. I wonder if they will support LinuxBIOS...
500,000 dead Iraqis? Utter bullshit, sourced only from the completely discredited and non-peer reviewed Lancet "study":

SCO is another poster child for the US Civil Court system to adopt a "Loser Pays" rule to interrupt the flow of ridiculous lawsuits.
I would assume that this may conflict heavily with the current "Lawyers Always Win" effect we have now though.

...the thought of accountability after death... wahhh!
Yeah, everything is relative. Even your sense of morality...
So producing hundreds of thousands of tons of NiMH or LiON batteries for cars is better for the planet than buying a 40mpg gasoline vehicle...
I've got some new crack-vitamins for you!
Let's substitute XY for Ubuntu...

I'm not sure what is worse...
A. The blatant government wastefulness (let alone the $20B of democrat pork in the defense bill)
B. The big government apologists on slashdot basically spouting off that $1B isn't a lot of tax to waste.
Socialism has worked out really well for Europe, why don't you move?
I'm an Irish and American citizen, so flame away. I've seen both sides, thanks.
Thanks, that was a helpful explanation. Cheers
Will encapsulating digital content in an encrypted wrapper cause greater signal loss from noise?
I may not have phrased that perfectly, but I am wondering if this hurts error correction measures...
You seem like one of my ISP admins - you can barely spell, have terrible grammar, and you want to censor content!
Probably one of many reasons you will never have even a million dollars.
