I don't think Linus would put a DRM system in the kernel anyways, despite what license he chooses to use (or not use), DRM systems don't belong in an OS kernel, even if they were righteous and everything the RIAA wants you to think it just doesn't make sense.
They forgot they think they live in a free country. THERES NO SUCH THING!
Difference between democracy and dictatorship is WHO runs things, the man in charge or the man who has the most money

Why did that comparison all of a sudden spring to me?
I think they may be able to afford IBM's legal fees and stay alive if they fire enough people. Mind you, the lawyers representing them could buy out SCO and continue litigation, best to keep it dragging. Just say IBM's legal bill is $2 million and they have $4 million in cash reserves, best leave it until SCO is just dry, then SCO will be forced to liquidate stuff and sell stuff, that way they cannot come back. After this basically backfiring (as expected) Microsoft will not pick them up, neither will Novell or IBM, once it is official in courts that SCO's IP (if it really is SCO's) is basically useless in litigation after trying EVERYTHING the lawyers wont pick them up either.
Leave them run themselves out, it will force SCO in to liquidation
I haven't had a successful install yet, VMWare images on the other hand have been brilliant, mind you I haven't tried the install for 6 months, for some reason my gf has had problems wanting to part with Linspire
The thought of Dell supporting 50 distro's is laughable, nobody would doubt that. I don't think anyone here would think supporting 10 distro's would be reasonable. They want to support 1 distro maybe 2 (business and personal) but 1 distro would be beneficial for them. Most people would think thats fair, only if THEIR distro of choice is one of them.
My idea is is Dell do deals with Novell, Red Hat or Canonical where they DONT HAVE TO support it, where the OS vendor's do their own support and part of the OS price goes to the distro.
Personally I think a distro needs to blend in the best features of different distros
Ubuntu has the brilliant base and has alot of support from the community
Linspire has the codecs and drivers making it perfect for the home market, it is also switching to the Ubuntu base
SUSE has all the office and AD compatibility that make it perfect for business, especially ones migrating away from a Windows environment
An Ubuntu base with Linspie's codecs and SLED compatibility add-ons = something OEM's would probably love to embrace
So far Novell seems to be in the best position to deliver this as CNR is set to extend to SUSE Linux, unfortunately SLED is not free.
IBM competes with us and is hurting us, this is not fare and has to be illegal! WAAAA!
Grow up SCO, AIX is a better product than OpenServer, thats why they didn't bother with Legend, no need for it.
People turned their back on you when you SLANDERED Linux and threatened to sue them. When you threaten to sue people, they tend to not like you.
Your forgetting that Americans still believe they rule the world
I can wait for China to really do something with that money they are sitting on, overnight they could fuck up the yankees economy and I cant wait, serves em right, bastards, good non-violent way of showing the yanks that they do NOT rule the world.
Next thing you know Chinese will be called terrorists
No but it wont be too long before they do, also that hour they may also register "legal but low" "illegal and low" and "just outright pissing people off" business practices
next day they may register a patent for making money
Religion is a hereditary mental illness, kids get brainwashed then grow up and have kids and brainwashes their kids too, very few kids escape from that.

In Australia PS3's cost $1000, for the crippled model mentioned
Alot of news in Australia, fans are saying "thats the last straw Sony"
They have basically given PAL markets the finger and say "we'll tell you what you do and dont care about"
Well Sony, this for me is the last straw, I am NOT getting a PS3, fuck sony in their loose asses with a big metal dildo
Thats been there ever since Solaris was released under the CDDL
Free Solaris has been avaliable for a long time, joining the FSF was just a long time comming
Sun, what took you so long?
Yes, I am almost as happy as this one as with the RIAA having to pay legal fees, despite how much I laugh at the American legal system its nice to see that even there Justice can prevail
1) They seem to lead the pack when it comes to lack of parental responsibility, how everything is society's faulty
2) They are fucking hypocrites, they claim they love free speech yet they don't want you to talk about certain stuff
3) they are fucking stupid, 53% of Americans believe the earth is 6000 years old. I am willing to be AT LEAST 52.9% are Christians
4)(this can be put under #2) but with all the problems in the world, they seem to be all for a "war on indecency" which limit's peoples freedoms
5)They are so pushy, every day I get annoyed by some fucking Christian group wanting me to join, sometimes I say not interested they leave me alone, other times they will annoy me telling me im going to burn in hell and everything till I tell them I will press charges if they don't fuck off
6) Thou shall not murder, unless its war which is mass murder (merges into #2)
7) they don't respect other peoples beliefs, its ok to respect Christianity, but if a Christian sees an atheist, or someone from Islam etc, they think "he/she is just misguided" where they are either pitted or looked down upon
8) Ignoring facts, #3 is just blaitent stupidity but uses the same example. They look at actual facts yet they think evidence right infront of them is a less credible source than a 1700 year old book
9) Misconceiving their own faith, nowhere in the bible does it mention that the earth was 6000 years old, its Christian ideology, so if they believe the earth is 6000 then they also have to believe the earth is flat and placed smack bang in the middle of the fucking universe
10) Trying to push their religious beliefs on to the political system, hence pushing their religious beliefs onto EVERYBODY, its arrogant and quite frankly insane
They claim to love freedom but freedom and dogmatism are complete opposites

I dont know about Solaris 10 to tell you the truth, Solaris 8 and 9 were terrible Debian package management is still the best around
