Since the site shut down Jan. 1, the sheriff's office set up its own site, www.macomb-sheriff.com. The new site is bare bones compared to the original one, but Hackel said it provide the most important function -- public communication with his office in the form of e-mail.
I see why they needed somebody else to build their web site -- they think they need a web page in order to receive email!
So, what do the scientists do when they want to look at something upwind? Is exploring the planet by random walk really an optimal use of resources? Sure, this thing can collect some data, but I wouldn't make it the major focus of any investment of money or time.
Actually, "western states" are a bit of an anomoly; questioning authority is actually a big part of our culture. For thousands of years, cultures socialized people to accept the pronouncements of their leaders unquestioningly. Now we have a culture where people are free to question or even mock their leaders. As far as the teen market, it goes in fads because for something to become popular, it usually has to be perceived as being against the establishment. Then the corporations rush in to co-opt the "new" form of expression into their marketing campaigns. Soon the teenagers, who have been trained to be cynical, realize what has happened, and start looking for the next thing. Look, we have a culture where "Joe Isuzu" was a popular ad, because people have been trained to automatically assume that ads are lying to them! Give the kids some credit -- they're smarter than you think.
The old SCO sold their properties to Caldera and went bye-bye. Not quite correct. The old SCO realized pushing Unix was a doomed proposition, sold part of their properties to Caldera, and changed it's name to Tarantella (the dance, not the spider), which was the name of the old SCO's middleware product.
What would you do if you had $500 million? Never work again? Why would you care whether or not you were committing "career suicide" if somebody gave you enough money that never finding another job wouldn't be a problem? Let's see now, I can continue working another 25 years, and earn maybe a total of $1 million over that time, and pay half that in taxes... or I can take $10 million right now and retire... which would you do?
Mod this up. I think we have a responsibility to try to "poision" their databases by submitting as much false information as possible. Every time they ask for your information, give them a different answer! If 90% of the information submitted is false, then their databases are basically useless for data mining right?
They're basically making themselves stay on a once a year schedule Just like Microsoft! First there was Windows 95, then Windows 96, Windows 97, Windows 98, Windows 99, Windows 2000, Windows 2001, Windows 2002, Windows 2003... they haven't released Windows 2004 yet, and Windows 2003 seems SO dated!
I think we'll all forgive them if they skip a year or two.
The man is a genius, not in technology, but in understanding supply chains, distribution, and margins. Computers are a strange industry -- you can practically watch them lose value as they sit on the shelf. The company that best implements "just-in-time" delivery of parts and just-in-time assembly in an industry where suppliers are notorious for playing games, can operate with lowest margins, and thus wins on grounds of price/performance. Dell has obviously been more successful in doing this then others, notably HP/Compaq.
Do that have one that keeps saying in a sultry voice, "Honey, please come back to bed, we weren't finished yet!"? I'd want to use that when my ex calls...
And I'll bet he has more of a life than you do. Remember, the purpose of advertising is to motivate you towards some action (usually buying their product). The most effective way to do this is to cause you pain, as much pain as possible -- and then offer up whatever they are selling as an antidote to that pain. 15% of the time you are watching television, you are being subjected to programming whose major intention is to make you unhappy! Now, if you'll excuse me, a "Married With Children" re-run is coming on, and I don't want to miss it!
Have you tried looking for a job lately? Half the recruiters demand you send them a resume in MS-Word format. The other half demand you don't send the resume as an attachment, because they're so afraid of MS-Viruses.

Which would you rather see: Gates on Spam, or Spam on Gates?
The only great picture of Bill Gates that I know of are ones of this incident

McBride won't get any invitations to programmer parties Ok, so what's the down side?

Blake Stowell, SCO Information Minister -- even his initials are BS!

I wanted to join, until I found out it wasn't a group dedicated to hanging out in American drinking establishments...
Anybody stupid enough to not pay cash every time they go out to get drunk DESERVES to have the FBI turn their files over to MADD!

Blake Stowell, knowing that we will never beleive a word he says, claims the memo is real to convince us that it was faked!

What?!? You mean I could have been getting paid for all these years?!?

Is anybody suprised that 0x54524F4C5C translated from hex to ASCII spells "TROLL"?
The line "Mind if I smoke while you eat?" was a classic!

Something like originally their plan was "world domination", but now it is "keeping our sorry asses out of jail!"
You need to find some female friends.

To the best of my knowledge, SCO has only one product: "SCO Turbo-Litigation". And yes, they are using it themselves. A lot.
Worse yet, if they keep suing everyone, how long will it be before someone commits suercide?
