You wouldn't be surprised if Novell sold their rights to Microsoft? Where do you get that from? I honestly have not seen or heard anything that, to me, would indicate that Novell would flat-out sell their IP to Microsoft.
Honestly, what harm has their deal with Microsoft caused you, or anyone else for that matter? Just because they made a deal with a company you don't like doesn't mean they are evil and out to screw everyone. Until Novell does something bad, lay off of them.
None of the money spent on this is money that would have went towards the problems you mention. This is private money, not a government handout. You can't expect big businesses to care about poor people. But I guess maybe that's one of the things wrong with this world.
When your kid asks for the PS3 for Christmas, go ahead and buy him $920 in books instead. And then in 30 years count how many times your kid comes and visits you in the nursing home.
I'm joking, of course. I do agree that $920 is insane, but let's not pretend that your kid would enjoy or appreciate $920 worth of books more than they would enjoy the PS3.
None of the *NIX distros would be considered a monopoly because they aren't leveraging their share in one market to increase their share in another. I pretty sure that's what MS did when they forced IE upon users of their OS.
Oh -- and a while back, there was someone who had a ranking system for computer games, based on 'crates'. Basically, the more crates (or sooner you ran across them in a game), the greater the lack of originality in the game. I want to say it was done about the time of C&C2

Don't bother watching TLC. Its 12 hours of Trading Spaces a day, with the other 12 filled by infomercials and more retarded "reality" shows. "The Learning Channel" my ass....
A hospital I do a lot of work at has a bunch of dumb terminals sitting around. They are hooked up to a old VMS system. This is going away come Feburary, in favor of a web-based clinical application courtesy of Siemens.
But Siemens needs the client machines to run IE 6.1...
One of my manufacturing clients runs their business on an HP (not Proliant) server running SCO. They use a software system called Plantrol. Unfortunately, until Plantrol migrates their software to a different UNIX-like OS, I have to continue to help my client out with this box. The licensing fees they have to pay to SCO are outrageous, and the machine runs horribly. The identical twin to this server is running Gentoo, and has many more services running, and it easially outperforms the SCO box. When Plantrol was pitching this new system to them, they wanted the SCO box to handle EVERYTHING (ftp, mail, etc...). Good thing I was able to talk them out of actually doing it.
When the time comes that Plantrol's software runs on a Linux box, I'll be switching them over ASAP...

They announced back in 2004 that SP4 was it for 2000. They haven't changed their mind, there will not be a SP5 for Win2k.
It's actually pretty bright right before dawn....
That was nice of AT&T to click submit for you.
Three. He actually used the "word" pwns.
Only if the party requesting it be taken down actually took the picture and own the copyright to it.
So you're saying it's a bad thing to revise theories based on new information or observations? There is a reason they are called "theories".

Did you read the article? No, of course you didn't. These guys were definitely not "good guys". They were scumbags.

I'm just posting to undo some stupid moderation I did. I hate when I do that.

Torment used the Baldur's Gate engine, but it wasn't developed by Bioware. It was developed by Black Isle Studios.
NTP has no interest in buying RIM or running a network of their own. They just want to get a piece of the action for doing basically nothing.
I don't know about you, but I sure don't want the scientists who are developing my medication to get their basic research from Wikipedia.

I have played a lot of FPS games in my life, and this is the only one that ever made me sick. To this day, I don't understand why just this one game.
