A couple of friends of mine were badly burned because the web hosting company they were using lost all their data
It sounds like your friends got badly burned because they didn't back up their data, not because of their ISP. Always back up your data. That goes doubly so if your data is stored on someone else's computer.
"There were a lot of costs I didn't expect-- hidden migration costs," says Cedars-Sinai's Duncan. During the migration from NT to Linux, his staff insisted that because they had been running RAID disk mirroring and striping on NT they should buy SCSI RAID controllers for the Linux servers. "It was like $1,000 per box extra that I hadn't planned on."
Hidden costs? Give me a break. Like he wouldn't have bought a SCSI RAID controller for a new machine no matter which operating system was going to be installed. It sounds like what really happened is that he planned a Linux rollout without getting the involvement of his IT staff. Then when he was done, they pointed out that he'd forgotten something-- Something that would be on any server be it Linux or NT. That's not a hidden cost. That's poor planning.
I always photocopy receipts so that I have another copy. I then take the original and staple it to the photocopy and file it away with the manuals and warranry information.
Fact is, tcsh is a better interactive shell than bash for newbies, thanks to intelligent command completion. (No, I don't mean the "complete the program name" stuff bash has, I mean the way tcsh knows about common arguments and options of the most-used programs, and can fill those in for you as well.)
And if code is unlicensed wouldn't SCO (and everyone else) be unable to use it wholly until it was relicensed formally under a different license?
No, because then it would still fall under copyright law. SCO (and everyone else) would then be guilty of copyright infringement until they could hammer out a new license with each and every copyright holder of the works in question.
Wow, a worm to do the work that the sysadmin should have done in the first place. That'll encourage those lazy sysadmins to just sit back and continue to do nothing.
BERKELEY, CA (AP): The heaviest element known to science was recently discovered by physicists at U.C. Berkeley. The element, tentatively
called Caltransium, has no protons or electrons, and thus has an atomic weight of zero (0). However, it does have 1 neutron, 25 assistant
neutrons, 75 vice neutrons and 111 assistant vice neutrons. This gives it an atomic mass of 212. These 212 particles are held together in a
nucleus by a force that involves the continuous exchange of neutron-like particles called morons.
Since it has no electrons, Caltransium is inert; however, it can be detected chemically, as it impedes every reaction with which it comes into
contact. According to the Berkeley discoverers, a minute amount of Caltransium caused one reaction to take over four days to complete, when it
would normally have occurred in less than one second.
Caltransium has a normal half-life of approximately three years at which time it does not actually decay, but instead undergoes a
reorganization in which assistant neutrons, vice neutrons, and assistant vice-neutrons exchange places. Some tests have shown that the atomic
number actually increases after each reorganization, although it is not yet clear where the extra morons may originate. Research at other
laboratories indicate that Caltransium is known to be highly toxic at any level of concentration and can easily destroy any
productive reactions where it is allowed to accumulate. Attempts are being made to determine how Caltransium can be controlled to prevent
irreversible damage, but results to date are not promising. Due to lack of funding, U.C. Berkeley has no plans for further evaluation.

This would be great for large company intranets. The company I work for (60,000+ employees) has probably more than 1000 web servers spread out all over the world yet we have no way to search the content of all of them. Something like this would be great.
I want it because I do more than read web pages. I could use it for moving around in Visio documents or PDFs of networks or database schemas, Illustrator files, zoomed in Photoshop images, large spreadsheets, large PDFs of maps of the city I live in, etc.
My Thinkpad has a feature like this where I can hold a button and use the eraser nub that normally controls the pointer to scroll around in any direction.

All he did was paint it white and put the words "Click here to get the plugin" on the side.
I believe that Mylex has GPL'd drivers, but they make higher-end SCSI RAID controllers.
I use 3ware cards and like them. The drivers are GPL unlike the Promise controllers which, if I recall correctly, are binary only.

It might be a good idea to write to the Utah attorney general office as well.
Have you considered just staying in the states while she works on her degree? Can't she get a degree in the US?

Offtopic? VIC-20's have a built in basic interpreter.
Finally, a use for my VIC-20.

Finale is pretty much the standard on the Mac for notation.

The story hit the newswire and other sites like Linux Weekly News long before it showed up on slashdot. Use some common sense.
