Sorry, I can't find any links, and it's sort of irrelevant. SCO/Tarantella publically disavows any connection whatsoever with SCO/Caldera, and they're probably pretty sorry they let them use the name now! The hottub is common knowledge; in the '80s SCO bought a building in Santa Cruz that formerly housed a Spa, they decided to leave the hottub in. SCO was founded by Larry Michaels and his son Doug Michaels (who now heads Tarentella). Larry was apparently pushed out sometime around 1990 for repeatedly embarrasing the company. My girlfriend worked for the SCO Marketing department for a breif time, she referred to Larry as "slobbering" over female employees. She is also the one that told me about the dope in the company freezer. It's interesting that now Tarentella propaganda always refers to Doug Michaels as "co-founder" of SCO, but never points out who the other co-founder was...
SCO has officially announced that HP is safe from their infringement lawsuit brigade By my reading of the story, HP has announced that HP doesn't beleive it infringes on SCO code... not SCO.
They have no expectation of winning the lawsuit... they plan on having all their shares of stock sold before they get a judgement! Yes, it's a crazy world where you can run up your share prices by spouting bullshit... but then, people have been put in jail for less obvious frauds.
"Nice little software operation you got here... be a shame if anything should happen to it, right Vinny?" "Yeah Boss, be a shame!" "You see, we down at the Operation, we figure we actually own dis here business, so you owe us big time! You can pay us now, or pay us later!"
We're going to come back and spruce the place up." Uh, perhaps they should do a title search on the old building first, and make sure they actually own it!
Actually, according to the ifconfig man page, eth0 is the "interface name". You are somewhat correct though, since the same driver can be used for multiple interfaces, the driver name would be "eth" not "eth0".
You mean back in the good ol' days, when the founder of SCO had to quit 'cause he kept getting sued for sexually harrasing female employees? And the marketing department used to store their dope in the company freezer? And they were the only company in town with a hottub in their office? Oh yeah, they had a much better reputation in those days!
"To clarify, the individuals reviewing the code had been involved with MIT labs in the past, but are not currently at MIT. Unfortunately, due to contractual obligations, we cannot specifically name the individuals." Well, sure, if I was working for SCO, I wouldn't want me name known publicly either!
"We're the owners of the Unix (AT&T) System V code, and so we would know what it would look like," Yeah, sure, having recently purchased rights to the code, they would definately have a better idea what it looks like than, say, the guys that wrote the code!!
My manager keeps correcting me: "It's not Ethernet, it's 802.3!" Uh, then why is the driver name "eth0"??? Is "eth" a contraction of "Eight oh two dot THree"?
If Ritchie wrote it, then it's AT&T Unix code; SCO is claiming all Unix rights belong to them, so it would be SCO code, provided you regard the results of the BSD lawsuit as invalid. There is a line of reasoning that you can follow by which SCO's claims seem reasonible; unfortunately, the number of hoops they need to jump through to prove these claims seems more and more tenuous.
Does this mean that 21% are actually female, or that 21% identify themselves as female when playing online games? I suspect the latter. Polls based on a self-selecting group of individuals are never valid.
From this article: "The United States in fact raised a civil suit against the DeBeers corporation for their monopolization of the diamond industry. DeBeers, however, never showed up for their day in court. To this day no executives from the DeBeers company can set foot on United States soils with out being immediately arrested. Next time try Google before you call "bullshit".
I say almost all the modern musicians are promoted based on how they look. I say this couldn't possibly be the case for India.Aire! And yes, the point where the MTV video became more important to a song's sucess than the sound itself was a giant step backwards for pop music...
Wired magazine made a claim of artificial diamonds for $5/carat instead of the current $1000/carat, but I think it's one of those "any day real soon now" claims. Nevertheless, the bottom is due to drop out of the diamond market any day real soon now, so I don't consider them a good investment.
Uh, actually yellow diamonds cost more, that's why they're making them yellow. But the process used in Florida of extreme pressure in heat does leave trace amounts of metal in the diamond which are detectable. The plasma deposition method used in Boston actually produces perfect diamonds which are indectable save for their lack of flaws.
Now, does the RIAA really reduce the number of CD in the stores? Does threatening to stop selling CDs to any store that sells them below the cartel-decided price count as "reducing the number of CDs in the stores"? Haven't RIAA members repeatedly been found guilty of this?

... and to spell just as badly!
Millions of dollars in avoided sexual harrassment lawsuits, just by having geeks do all their own typing!
I tried The Sims, then discovered it was more fun micro-managing my 2-year old's bathroom habits...

No, quaternary is just 2 two-input ANDs.

Technically, the RIAA is a "cartel", not a monopoly. I beleive both are illegal under US law.
In the Bluegrass community, "perfect pitch" is defined as tossing a banjo into an outhouse without hitting the rim...

Pretty easy to duck bullets when nobody's shooting anywhere even remotely near you...
Two words: Cubic Zirconium. Think any women out there can tell the difference? Not without taking it to a gemologist and having it assayed.
