It would have been more believable if you'd mentioned that SCO had hired *IAA's legal team to sue the first 10,000 Linux users in its efforts to stop the piracy of the Unix source code it doesn't rightfully own.
Indeed. I also think there needs to be a 'SCO' icon... maybe something similar to Mr. Hankey with very dead eyes and draped in a sash covered in Linux kernel code?
Conspiracy theorists, start your engines! There's gonna be enough red herrings and other tidbits of fodder to keep them going until the next "great document declassification dump" comes along. Enjoy!
There's huge difference between the number of Windows 7 installs and total Windows systems installed. The security issues with XP are a bigger concern (there are a sh!tload of XP machines in the world), a good chuck of which are still on SP 2 and/or IE6. MS's current offerings are in pretty good shape but their install base is not. The responsibility of prior security weaknesses is still MS's no matter how hard they try to get people to upgrade out of XP (and earlier) deployments.
I don't know about most Americans, but this American is fat because I sit at this computer all day, stuff my face with hot pockets and cheesy poofs, and the only thing close to 'exercise' I get is using the remote control or my smartphone. That's just my assumptions anyway, 'cuz I'm not a doctor.
The whole in the ocean floor has been spewing oil for 50 days. The long term effects of this disaster can't even be imagined yet. BP = Bhopal for the Gulf.
Limewire basically makes money from other peoples' desire to do something that the courts have repeatedly ruled is illegal, and unless they have some really amazing lawyers they're probably going to lose.
RIAA Lawyer: Because our clients are fair-minded, understanding and compassionate individuals they will be willing to settle for $0.01 on the dollar. We believe it is an overly generous offer that our staff mathematicians and physicists have valued at $14.7 trillion.
Exactly. It appears that Ms. Potter wanted a different experience for the readers, one that included a very tactile experience. That's the exact opposite of a digital reader.
Though I completely agree with you it's not "people" but "companies" purchasing lobbying every minute of every day here in the US. Our country has been for sale to industries and individual companies for quite a while. The politicians don't care who writes the checks as along as they clear. It's just a sad state of affairs.

I really hope this is the last I ever have to hear about SCO.
Well, just remember that you can't spell scourge of the earth without SCO
If so, looks like Gary McKinnon has really, really bad timing.
Along with some bad judgement and a seriously bad obsession with UFO's, yes.

Every war is about money.
And no wars are pretty.
anyone could have told you this.
True, but now that it's been posted on /. it's officially official.
Makes you wonder why all the white house staff have brand new I-pads.
From what I hear they just happened to "fall off a truck" in the Chicago area and Rahm Emanuel new the guy that "found" them. It's a small world ... ;-)

BTW, hell of a post.
I'll try to say this as simply as possible:
The characters *are* words.
But are they perfectly cromulent words and/or characters?
Isn't it more important that it works than what it looks like?
Maybe when it comes to computers, but you sure can't say that about hookers.
Why are most Americans fat, again?

No, I will not join up with Facebook to placate some loser who can't do or create anything for themselves.
This from someone who can't or won't even create a /. account? Hmmm ...
whole != hole ... just pretend I can type and/or spell.

So what you're saying that Limewire is a Pimp?
If they insist on filtering what goes into China, they should at least have the consistency to filter what comes out of it.
They already do - they filter out the truth about what's going on in China.
Do Chinese people enjoy freedom of speech on the Internet in a substantively different way than we do?
Yes, because the Chinese government's definition of "enjoy" is similar to the western world's definition of "suffer".

I'd hate to see the "live footage" when they strip search him with one of those 'anti-speed cameras'. ;-)

What a great idea! I'm gonna go register ButtonsToReportEverything.com right now. I'm gonna be a gazillionaire!
Hmm... What happens if you accidentally click the button?
Then you're committing an online crime and reporting yourself, so I wouldn't recommend it ;-)
