It is fair enough to break up the raves as most took place on private land as yous say.
Though in the UK i understand that being on private land is not in and of itself trespass. The police would need to prove that the person intended to stay there for sometime or cause damage is how i think it works (and a rave would qualify on both parts).
The parent's intent is correct, but there are far more insidious and common examples of the UK's loss of freedoms.
I used to have ntl and their customer service could only be reached via a 3 digit number that was secific to that network. So they would have cut off your phone by that stage too because if you have 1 virgin home media product, then you prob have the rest

Are you serious? lftp is the awesomemost thing in the universe. And there must be at least 4000 more ftp clients
I'm biased. I'm a unix/linux user. Have been since 2002 or so. I gradually developed a hatred of windows when, as a windows 98 customer (not a windows user, I paid for it to brceive a service), I got bored having to reinstall my OS. I used XP briefly for a while especially for games and such. Then i Stopped using it. I became a sole nix user. I had no need to play games because I had little to no free time because of work. Recently I've made the switch to ubuntu and also switched jobs.
This has allowed me some more gaming time. For this reason I bought a nice laptop with a good on board graphics card to play games with. It came with Vista, and that I left on it and dual booted with Ubuntu Gutsy. I bought a few games I'd missed out on in the previous year or two.
I began thinking its been a while since I actually used windows, perhaps I'm judging it harshly. So i decided to try and give a go as my main OS as much as I could. Much of my work is done by logging into other machines via ssh so I thought I might not miss Linux too much and I knew putty was a very good terminal emulator implementation.
So, I tried to install Brothers In Arms: Earned in blood. I Didn't get very far. It just did nothing on clicking the installer. Some searching later shows that this game doesn't work on vista. Apparently the system they used to ensure that you dont lend the CD to your friends or such also ensures that it doesn't work on vista. I had similar problems with one other game I bought.
At this point I was quite happy with Vista aside from that it seemed to have used 12GB of diskspace before i'd even booted it up for the first time. It was shiny and slick. It was fast to boot. I had very little on the local machine itself apart from the games. I'd copied some video files and installed all the games from the Orange Box too.
I played through all of Portal/HL2/HL2E1 and I'd noticed that start up takes around five times longer than it did in the first week. The same performance crap I had experienced with 98. Same shit, different kernel. Aside from that I found that some days the hard disk would begin to thrash _all_ the time. To get rid of them I had to kill system processes and turn of much talked about features.
I was getting annoyed. I felt vindicated. It was also starting to crash, It just does it more elegantly than XP. Steam games had weird start up problems involving minimising and maximising a dozen times.
The internets informed me that Orange Box games work well in wine (which I didn't believe). I've never had a great deal of luck with anything working in wine. But vista was getting beyond a joke and I really thought considering the graphics card I had I should be seeing better game performance. So i thought I'd reinstall my laptop with XP/Gutsy and be done with it. However I couldn't find an XP disk. So I just went with gutsy.
I couldn't believe how flawless Orange Box games went on. Honestly, wine is a serious engineering achievement. Everything works. perfectly.
Goodbye Microsoft, and may our only encounters be the ones in which someone pays me large amounts of money to deal with you.

I have to say i thought, one way or another it was an inside job. And even if they were going out of business, it would make more of an excuse to your backers if the entire internet was taking the piss out of you.

In your paper did you note that Linux and Unix are not even close to being the same? You use the term linux as if it is a synonym for UNIX. Torvalds has always owned the copyright to Linux.
https://www.copilot.com/ from those fog creek losers does exactly the same thing. they say they allow you to download their VNC modifications... but just try compiling them.... you can't
Unix is not Linux. That would be where you went so very wrong. The original implementation of Sockets in NT kernels was from an external company (remember MS have never done anything original, they buy it all in, including the entire team who built NT).
Subsequently the TCP/IP stack was rewritten from scratch to integrate better with their big stupid OS. So potentially only the utilities remained. The way it did the checksums was still compatible with the BSD tcp/ip stack. Presumably they did regression testing against it. Basically rewriting the stack as native libraries to the same basic spec.
You can invest in derivatives and futures to cover losses on anything. For instance, many companies whos profits might be affected by bad weather take out weather derivatives so that if their profits are hit by weather, they claw back some of the losses through the weather derivatives. Used to be a big favourite of Enron.
Perhaps DMB has money on SCO stocks delisting and dying. Who the hell knows what was going through their brains.
Citrix is indeed pretty good if you have to use it... but then again it is incredibly expensive. Xorg comes pretty cheap with all that functionality and ten times more.
ok.. i appreciate the mini lecture on the benefits of FLOSS and such, but i'm fairly involved in several communities and run 1, soon to be 2, projects.
My point is, the obsessive public giving a crap about meaningless percentages is not helpfull to a project. Apache never did that, they just got on with the job.
I also happen to be a big big fan of the Konqueror browser. I think the KHML engine does a really good job. I am formerly an Opera user.. however they have managed to do something terrible with the multi threading in their linux browser of late that is making it near unusable.

I'm on BT but from your link couldn't work out what suggstions you are talking about i'm afraid.

Seems to run pretty nicely in wine for me.

I don't think leopard is anymore innovative over previous releases than vista was over XP.
Its happened..... finally everything that could have been said about the SCO debacle has been said.
It's over.
We're free...
FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I had a run in with Dare Obasanjo some time ago over MS plans to sell a crippled version of XP to poor people.
Anyway, to sum up, the dude is a complete tool.

I understand your points... but I can't believe there are people building new web applications that depend on MSFT dependant technology...
If it linux gained 100% we would all jump to Solaris. Then when it got too popular we would try freeBSD and so on until we reach Plan9 :)
