Click on this link for a healthy sampling of Solaris 8-related technical information, expert advice, books and more. SOURCE: searchSolaris http://searchsolaris.techtarget.com/featuredTopic/0,290042,sid12_gci751020,00.html ================ THE MISSING LINK A look at an off-the-wall story from the Web... ================ "Barney barney makes dino outfit purple with rage" The moral of this story: Don't mess with Barney the dinosaur. The Web site Cybercheese takes a poke at the purple dino with a list of "150 ways to kill the Purple Dinosaur." The Lyons Group, which owns the rights to all things Barney, raised a huff and responded by firing off a nasty cease-and-desist letter threatening a lawsuit if the list is not removed by tomorrow. Cybercheese countered with its own vulgar, unflattering letter that, in essence, told the Lyons Group that the site's parody was not infringing on Barney's trademark. It's enough to make Barney and his band of merry grade-schoolers skip recess and stand in the corner in protest.
