Yep. I am not kidding. Are these slimeballs a bunch of maggot puke or what? http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/53/32187.html SCO ready to clean out Linux users for $1399 per CPU By Ashlee Vance in Chicago Posted: 05/08/2003 at 21:35 GMT Linux users face a serious question. Is $699 too much to pay for a good bath? The $699 scrubbing fee is exactly how much SCO wants for one CPU's worth of a Linux license, and that's just for the time being. Come October 15, the single CPU fee jumps to a whopping $1,399. This is the latest word from SCO handed down by Mr. Clean himself - SCO CEO Darl McBride, during a Tuesday conference call. SCO had been holding out on exactly how much it planned to charge Linux users for their use of what it claims is borrowed Unix code, but now all has been made clear - crystal clear. "Cleary, it's at a point and time where we are going to take matters into our own hands and move forward," McBride said. "It's time to start marching onward again with our legal claims." McBride enjoys referring to Linux users as a "tainted" bunch. He seems to see them as some group of unbathed mongrels that that covet other peoples' intellectual property for their coding pig-pens. This really isn't the nicest language to use for such an amicable crew, especially when SCO's real beef is with IBM and Red Hat. But SCO claims that IBM and Red Hat are the ones that forced it to put the blame on Linux users. Since IBM and Red Hat won't rush to the Linux community's rescue and hand over millions for unproven claims, SCO must attack the little guys. And attack it has. Both the $699 and $1,399 fees are a hefty price to pay for something you are not even sure exists. Does SCO own some pieces of Linux? Is it IBM's fault? Is Red Hat to blame as well? Only a court can decide this, and the IBM lawsuit is not set for trial until 2005 with any legal action against Red Hat following that. Dropping a few bucks for a car-wash may make more practical sense in the near term, if being clean concerns you. If, however, you are an enterprise Linux customer that wants to go ahead and shell out a few grand for the 'dirty' Linux servers in your data center, then give 1-800-726-8649 a call. Customer service representative are standing by. SCO has hosed them down with a month's worth of training. SCO is not saying how much a multiprocessor or embedded license will cost just yet. Representatives on the conference call noted that providing such information would bore the tech journos and analysts ringing in. Not true. These details are to be posted on SCO's Web site at some point and time. The licensing needs, of course, only apply to users of the Linux kernel 2.4 and above. Should you have any doubts about how far SCO plans to take this death march, have a quick peek at the SCO Forum page. It's here that we are told, "The World Is Not Enough."

C'mmon guys, Fosters, Tooheys, Rickards - pour it down the drain and use the containers for ballasting. STEINLAGER - the real drink !! Lanman - I STILL haven't touched that email server - it just works ! Cheers Peter Guess I'll understand it when they stop saying that Foster's is "Australian for Beer" in all the commercials. And we may make the stuff for Americans, but it's not as strong as the beer we have here. It's thinned out for Americans. Eitther way, this is about taking a few days off, flying down to see Stephen & Frankie, kickin' back and relaxing, not about beer. Besides, I'm a Rickard's man myself. By the way, call me a schmuck again, and I'll personally fly down there, rip your head off, and puke down the hole. On the other hand, if you can suggest a good beer when I get there, I'll buy the first round, and we'll find a couple of "companions" to cut his lawn. Your call Richard.

Rememb= Well, that was "Darmok" and the other captain & crew only were able to speak using emtaphors. For example "Juliet on her balcony". It was one of the better episodes. THroughout the early 1990s I remember people on BBSes and newsgroups (precursors and alternates to Usenet at the time) using phrases from that episode quite a bit. Another episode (from ST Voyager) features a group of people who are involved in paramilitary operations who speak English, but whose choice of words are littered with words that one would not use in everyday speech. It is as if they wrote the script normally, and then did a search & replace with a thesaurus plugin :). For instance, they'd substitute 'look' with 'glance'. > Lanman David E.

I didn't really believe it until now, but I guess it's true! I saw this kind of thing happen on Star Trek - TNG once. Remember the episode where Captain Picard was on a planet with an alien where they both spoke English, but they couldn't understand each other? The other guy spoke in phrases that never made sense! Things like "His arms open", or "Jilahd - on an island". None of it made sense to Jean-Luc at all. I think I understand the roots of Australian now! Only difference was that the alien spoke with an American accent! Always wondered about that. Thing is,...I'm not sure I want to understand your quotation ! Yech! Grin!

There are a number of breweries in the USA who produce a variety of very high quality beers.

Beyond that, imported beers are available in most stores, restaurants and bars -- even cut'n'shoots. IIRC, the Foster's that we get here is brewed in Canada. I tried some. Once.

San Fransisco in the middle sixties was a very special time and place to be a part of. Maybe it meant something. Maybe not, in the long run... There was madness in any direction, at any hour. If not across the Bay, then up the Golden Gate or down 101 to Los Altos or La Honda... You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning... And that, I think, was the handle -- that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting -- on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave.

I have been watching this thread for a while and .. well, I may not know much about Linux but I can say that ... 1. Being an American that is married to a German woman, everyone I know drinks Warsteiner Dark at room temperature. They say it is not so much that American beer is weak, it is more that they put too many preservatives and other additives in it. And they say Americans like their beer cold because they cant stand to taste it any other way. So I am thinking Warsteiner Dark or Peach Schnapps chasers and you will all be good to go. 2. Being an American from the great state of Tennessee I think all I have to say is 'Corn in a Jar'. Those of you that know what I am talking about would agree; this remedy and no one will be mowing anything anytime soon. 3. As for the smaller condoms... Evolution dictates the size of the male sexual organ. Nature tells us that we 'Americans' don't have to be equipped for sex with farm animals, I admit some of my countrymen may be a little smaller than you in the Outback.

It produces several different beers; most in the 5.3 to 5.8% range. Summers they produce something called "Double Blond" that's between 7.5 and 8%; winters they produce a Barley Wine (Ale really) called " Ol' Howling Bastard" that's 10.5% ABV.
