This does not bode well for the future of large corporations. The last few decades, business wise, have been about companies merging into redicuously large entities, and not just Microsoft, but AOL/Time Warner, ABC/Disney, and others. It seems that the Justice Department has taken it upon itself to split up these companies into smaller bits. Given recent mergers of other giants that shouldn't have been allowed to merge, do you think that perhaps we should prevent these mergers that lead to monopolistic bullies before the DoJ has to deal with it?
Secondly, is it true or not true that the appeal will or can be pushed directly to the Supreme Court?
On a lighter note, any news on the planned names for the two companies?
With the merger, what chances are there for VA Linux/Andover.net synergy? This is the vision I forsee:
VA Linux will announce a "Slash Server Appliance", a cube-boxed device that plugs into an ethernet cable, monitor, and keyboard/mouse to set up an instant Slash server. Plug it in, set the IP, change the configuration paramaters, and *whammo* it's a discussion group server in a box.
News of the VA Linux/Andover.net synergy sent shares up to $124/Share today. VA also released more press releases detailing their dedication to release more marketing-style press releases involving Andover.net.
Are you browsing through comments.pl? I do, and I see lots of dissaperaing posts. Sometimes they get marked with "don't post" before they get removed. And I've been getting "Invalid Form Key" errors on one of my accounts as well. Also note articles in comments.pl that are forward-posted in time - on Tuesday I saw articles dated Thursday. Wierd.
It's a nice "story"... but it reads like a copy of Takedown - all sensationalism. Anybody else notice this? It's gotta be a fake, or at least exagurated (sp?).
Is this the malloc debugger that can be enabled with an environment variable? If so, can you make it an option to relink libroot.so with efence.o in it? It'd be nice to have - I liked debugging your programs:-)
OT: BTW, OpenTracker has some nasty bugs - is there a source release that corresponds to what was included in R5? Expect a hack on OpenTracker and OpenDeskbar to jump out of my computer soon.

Dear Lord. I'm sure the individual in question meant political anarchy, which advocates the destruction of current government as a means towards creating a better government, which is a philosophy I subscribe to.
"The romance of Silicon Valley was about money - excuse me, about changing the world, one million dollars at a time."
The government can't even hide a presidential blow job. How in the world would they hide something like a alien spaceship that would require many people to work on? (well as usually I've wondered off the topic I was replying to *shrug*)
The purpose of the president is to draw attention away from power, not to weild power. The folks under the DoD (dept of defense) umbrella are probably extremely happy now, because now the press spends all of its time covering blow jobs and not Echelon, or anything else that they do that we don't know about.
"The romance of Silicon Valley was about money - excuse me, about changing the world, one million dollars at a time."
Nope - their plan was originally to use BeIA, and the guys are a bunch of Be coders. They just don't want BeIA on the thing, and I have to agree. Anyway, I wouldn't use Be at anything less than 640x480 - it's not optomised for super-small displays.

You tend to walk a fine line in your belifs of freedom of software. How about some clarification on what you think should be free and what shouldn't? Are you ok with copyrighting forms of artistic expression, like music? How about a computer game that includes music?
Do you think that ideas should be free, or particular expressions of those ideas? If I write a book esposing a particular idea, I think we both agree that the idea should be free to travel. But what about the actual words I said, or the entire book? Where is the line drawn? What if those ideas are about computer programming, and the book contains source code?

Ok - ever since I upgraded to a dual PII 400 with a Tyan S1832DL (Tiger 100, used by VA Linux), my V3 2000 PCI stopped working under Linux and Be. I think it's because glide wants to see it in AGP, but I don't know. Works like a champ under NT.

Try Gobe Productive - it's what I use for all my stuff, and it has a good feature set. I paid about $80 from Buy.com in a bundle with the BeOS bible and BeOS R4.5, though you don't need R4.5 with FreeBe out there.

Ok - I'm trying to figure out what the Gore vs. Bush race has got to do with it. I thought we all agreed that this was going straight to the Supreme Court, whom as we all know aren't influenced by politics (blatant satire, not flamebait). But where does the race come into this?
Apply slashdot principles to the Supreme Court: have you moderated a decision today?

This was kind of funny: "kabloie writes: "This Cnet article at Yahoo! sheds light upon the defense strategy of the folks at Napster in Satan's suit with the RIAA, which invokes the service provider provision of the DMCA. The lawyers interviewed saith that if Napster wins this one, the RIAA (et al.) shall be heading back to the legislative well..." Hmm - satan, RIAA? Sounds about right...
Even funnier: kovacsp wast the first to write to us about the announcement from Celera that Satan hadst completed mapping of the human genome. Maybe this thing is good after all...

All of corel's existing ports run under wine. Beta testing Word Perfect Office 2000 for Linux was enough to make me buy a copy of Gobe Productive for BeOS - they were that slow. I couldn't use it for more than a half-hour at a time - it would just drive me insane. And no, I wasn't running it on a 486 - my computer is a dual PII 400. Let's just hope they don't kill Bryce for BeOS.
"The romance of Silicon Valley was about money - excuse me, about changing the world, one million dollars at a time."
Unbelievably fast? I beta tested Corel Office 2000 for Linux, and running it under wine is _anything_ but fast. Try Gobe Productive - it does what you say, better.
"The romance of Silicon Valley was about money - excuse me, about changing the world, one million dollars at a time."
... that needs answering: What is the status of Bryce on BeOS? Last I heard, it was put on hold because of Metacreation's focus shift (hmm, Be focus shifts, metacreations focus shifts, just coincidence?). I hope that Corel doesn't kill the port because they want to be "just Linux" - BeOS is a good OS for media, and if Corel wants any hint of world domination (esp. now that they dropped the MacOS), they need BeOS.

Why didn't this ever get posted to the front page? Very, very strange. /. is losing its mind!
