Yeah, that's how i found TFA in the first place:) I routinely search for SCO on google news.
I think everyone knows who Ralph Yarro is, also Orrin/Brent Hatch...
Once they make uncrackable hardware, no one will buy it!
I see only one reason to buy x360, to hack it, hehe.
Really, if the next gen M$ stuff comes out fully with uncrackable DRM, no one will use it.
DRM isn't good for M$, it is good for RIAA, M$ just employs it because it 'must'.
He went to several conferences as speaker (ie. he wasn't about to be swayed, he wanted to 'sway' other's opinion). The conference organizers paid his trip. Would you be more satisfied if the Commonwealth paid his trip???
Guess he told other listeners (who went to those conferences) how and why they picked ODF. Why is it good for a government institution, etc.
I wonder who told Boston Globe that this guy should be dragged across the dirt.
Well, Google is still young. I'm fairly sure it will eventually enter middle age and the engineers will be replaced by marketing. Then when it gets old, the marketeers will be replaced by lawyers. It is just a question of time, years, or even decades.

Taking away copyright would be confiscatory, not issuing patents is ok.
What about IE? Is it 'internet' or 'application'? Ie. (not pun) does it belong to the former or the latter group. You can hear a new ActiveX or Javascript vulnerability in IE every month. And holes in Oracle are old news too. So, i don't see the 'big shift'. I expect some shift towards Firefox exploits though (as contrary to belief, it crashes too). As soon as it reaches a critical mass of users so it 'worths bothering with'.
With only two parties it is tough if not impossible to make a meaningful election.
Not like a revolution would do any good. Revolutions usually become bloody and a dictator emerges.
Ok, but Earth moves around the Sun, and Sun moves around the center of the Galaxy. And that distant star moves around the center of the Galaxy too. Aren't there too many variables in this equation?
No, if it would truly contain gpl code, they didn't acknowledge the license. Thus they infringed copyright. Nothing 'more'.
Actually, i'm unsure why they had this new code in. some possibilities: 1. support playing of apple drm'd music (invalid because they surely use his whole code which constitutes copyright infringement) 2. scan for DVD Jon's code and block its usage (valid - fair use, they use only signatures)
Uhm, yeah. I read lots of his notes. One comes like this:
"Although most of the community disagrees with me on this, I think the basic SCO claim is a no brainer: strip away the absurdities perpretrated by lawyers using their client's money (and corporate goodwill) to go after their billion dollar contingency, and the basic claim is just that some IBM people allowed some contractually protected Unix system code to leak into the Linux development tree" Translated: While SCO's claims might be overblown, basically they are right.
He also wrote that SCO isn't about to destroy Linux, but IBM is.
Hmm, Murphy is a known M$ shill, they must be very desperate to get clicks if he resorts to this kind of admission.
Or there is some very dark reason i couldn't even fathom.

Don't believe him, Lisa. He just wants to exploit you!
Don't talk about copyrights, when some corporations steal GPL stuff of private individuals :)
Just wanted to say that... This is 1:1 in the IE Vs. Firefox war.
afaik they said they were 'talking' with anti-virus experts. I guess they thought they will settle without much noise.

I can't do without optical mice! I just smashed the mechanical one because it refused to move.
No, that must be profitable.

I wonder what's his position on gun ownership as most 'fundamentalists' in America love them.

Imagine you were kidnapped. In that case you would be happy to have a tracker on you :)
No, it proves that Earth is a cosmic toalet.

Hope this won't infringe some copyright or patent :)

Well, it went on an infinite loop for me.
If you hang around on Slashdot enough time you will see the same note pair coming up once in a year.

Eventually all commercial linux distros will support DRM :)
This isn't even funny. Sadly, even guys like Sen. Pachecho believe (at least spout) this BS.
