If it's all a stock scam, then maybe Boises wasn't hired to do anything at all. He might just be leasing his name to the affirs. Has anyone representing SCO showed up in a courtroom to file anything ?
Well, Johnnie Chochran managed to establish reasonable doubt because the LAPD got caught framing a guilty man. If they'd left it alone OJ would be in jail right now.
Nothing with 46 cromosomes has started shooting at me yet, but I remember those SOB's from Blue Shift (*cough* Gnutella *cough*). I'm not hardcore at FPS games, so I'm just playing it at "Medium". Even playing it in early afternoon with the sun out I can still get spooked into spraying rounds in panic. This is pure fun.
The beauty of going back to the classics is that you can run 'em at max quality and still get amazing framerates. Try the original Jedi Knight, it looks fantastic on a modern system.
Probably, that'd be kinda cool. But for full points, make a Lego robot that automatically builds the network model based on live data. Have it cut strings when AT&T forgets about one of your T1 lines.
I'm not keeping numbers at work, but PowerpointX is right behind Quark 4.11 as my #1 source of trouble calls. Lately, I've just been opening them in Keynote (we only have one license for the moment) resaving them as.ppt's and sending them back. This usually cuts the file size down by a third and solves a lot of simple corruption issues. I switch an executive assistant to Keynote tomorrow.
EntourageX is #3 on my list, and I'm looking forward to the improved mail.app in Panther, as it is right now, mail.app is completely unusable for someone bumping into EntourageX's 4GB database limitation. I want it faster, a lot faster before I start deploying it. We used AppleScript for the QuickMail Pro-> Entourage migration (a bigger upgrade than going to Mail.app will be), so that won't be a big hassle.
It's going to be six months and at least $30 for the expansion packs before you get to fly a ship in SWG. Screw that. $80 bucks ? EVE-Online is $40 at www.ebgame.com and you can fly a ship now (the strategy guide is based on beta 5 btw).
I've been playing EVE-Online since beta. And so far, it's more Star Wars than anything else. I fly around in a ship, hunt pirates and sell their goodies. PvP is always possible, but moderated in-game by NPC cops, who will whack someone with battleships. No action out of the ship, but you do trading and such at stations. The storyline hasn't kicked in just yet, so no comparison there. It's like Star Wars out on the Rim, away from the Empire/Republic where space is full of freelancers.
Besides Star Wars, EVE is reminiscent of Elite and Escape Velocity.
Oh, server uptime is good. Usually 3000-3500 people are logged in 7-10om PST and over 6000 on weekends. It's got bugs, they mostly get fixed. Some segments need to be rewritten completely (agent missions) and will be.
Nobody has ever actually come out and officially said it, but Apple is under severe licensing restrictions with regard to MPEG-2. The MPEG-2 license accounts for much of the cost of QuicktimePro (QTPro is $25, MPEG-2 is $10-$20 of that). Since iDVD does MPEG-2 encoding, Apple has to pay a fee for every copy of iDVD that is burning DVDs. The OWC product got around that and could have gotten Apple in an expensive court case.
The DMCA was just the "appropriate" tool for the job in the opinion of Apple's legal team.
EVE Online does not suck, pick up a cheap copy somewhere and give it a try. It's balancing nicely, still in growing pains (10 weeks since launch) but the economy is settling down and there are still plenty of opportunities for an entrepeneur.
I'm making most of my money in-game by pirate hunting and light manufacture. As a specialty, I'm exploring for abandoned mining colonies and old wrecks - good places to find loot and tough pirates.
Maybe Verant should make a deal with the EVE developers, SWG has no ships but does have an on-planet game. EVE has nothing but ships. Combine the two and you have a winner.
And EVE is gorgeous. I'd watch any anime that had space sequences that looked like that.
In RtCW a friend uses "Another Soldier". I usually play as "TK Hunter" and that's what I do ! (Hunt TK's that is). I'll spare the world another rant on the TK problem.
Gee, best I can do is a real classic wrong number: a couple of months ago the emergency phone in the elevator rang - one short ring and then some lady going hello.. hello...
I "answered" by opening the cover, leaning down to the speaker grille and saying "Yes ?". She said "Is this XYZ Inc. ?"
The best way to tell you have a wrong number is when the other party starts laughing when you ask for someone. I'm not 100% sure she believed me, but it's not like I care.
I may have to start using that excuse on telemarketers. Put 'em on speaker and say they've just called an elevator.
No no no. The GPL issue is with SCO distributing the GPL'd code, not with the end user's use of the software. The GPL has exactly zero restrictions on use of software, only on its distribution. They have tainted intellectual property (if such a thing is anything more than a legal hallucination), but they do not have stolen property.
So they don't have to reinstall their servers, but they might want to switch distros because their support contract with SCO is about to vanish in a puff of Chapter 7.
One of the first professional programmers that I knew well had a very simple system for producing good code quickly. He produced the manual first, which became the spec. Then he wrote the code to do that. Very simple. Thousands of lines of good C code a day.
Sadly, he wrote code to control industrial lasers and not important things like operating systems or games. On second thought, he was working on a computer moderated pbm game...
Agreed. I really need to lock up my "ready use" stocks at the office. They've saved me some weekend trips to the office, but we also had to pay for a printer repair+part due to msyterious circumstances:
Part of the paper feed system of an HP5000 (good printers, ask me about 79.00FE errors from OS X clients) managed to disappear; without this part of the guide, it will jam on every single sheet. To get at this part you have to remove the toner cartridge, lift up another part, and take out two screws. This piece vanished. I was watching the repair when the tach found it, and two days later I watched him put the new one in.
Two weeks later... Yep, the printer is jamming again. I watch the tech take it apart. That same damned piece is missing again.

That would be DOS 3.3.

Good luck with that.

G5s this Fall !
Wouldn't the honeytoken entries be protected as an original work ?
Ditto. I dropped $20 on HalfLife and am slowly cruising my way through the early stages hoping to have it beaten by the time HL2 comes out.
You can take Tron 2.0 off that list. The demo was apalling.

Seriously. Eve is the same game. The mechanics are vastly different, but gameplay is amazingly similar.

There'd be a Bush administration staffer hanging from every tree in Washinton, that's what'd happen.
Bravely posting under my real nick.
Ok, the moderators really are on crack. This is insightful not just funny.

That's the funniest thing I've ever seen NOT modded up.
Insightful too...

I expect I'll be looking at the source tomorrow at work. I'll pay special attention to that.
You have stumbled onto the essential dilemma of the situation: Why ?
Of nearly equal importance is: How
Followed closely by: Who, and do I need to start locking up the screwdrivers ?

It just has to be users.
