Happy Memorial Day
http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/05/24/0247252
May 26 is the U.S, Memorial Day holiday. All we're doing today is posting a few NewsVac items. We'll be back tomorrow, May 27, with our usual fare. See you then!
You can help stop the SCO-vs.-IBM lawsuit http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/05/25/1240238
- by Eric S. Raymond - You can help stop the SCO attack on IBM and the Linux community. I'm looking for ways that Unix trade secrets may have been legally nullified.
The worst-case scenario
http://newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/05/21/1529217
- by Mark McGrew - Three years ago, I warned of an attempt by Big Software Companies to insinuate their control into your life, using your computer as their "foot in the door." Well, a lot has changed. Of the three players I named (IBM, AT&T, and Microsoft) only one remains a credible threat to Linux users: Microsoft, with SCO as its lackey.

Oregon is still a soft touch for Microsoft http://newsvac.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/05/26/0054246
I don't blame Microsoft for trying to maintain its stranglehold. And I can understand why the bureaucrats have been slow to consider the alternatives in the face of Microsoft's mammoth marketing department.
Pricing of personal computers: [Linux] lessons for India http://newsvac.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/05/25/128218
NZheretic writes "From Anand Parthasarathy,Bangalore May 24. "Everyone talks about it but nobody does anything about it" — American humorist Mark Twain's wry comment about the weather might well apply to decade-long efforts in this country and elsewhere to deliver a truly `People's PC'. Finally, Thailand has done it — and as surging crowds in Bangkok queuing to book the government-sponsored personal computers proved — a key inflection point in ...
Current State of Linux and Java
http://newsvac.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/05/25/128233
Anonymous Coward writes "Slashdot's Krow has written up his recent experiences with the main Linux JVM's in his blog. He talks about his experience with trying to find a Java JVM to embed in an application. If his conclusions are accurate then the state of Java for Linux is quite poor at this time."
The action-class lawsuit
http://newsvac.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/05/24/2355253
Anonymous Reader writes "The legal profession is adept at suing in behalf of huge numbers of people, all at once. The question facing the SCO Group, writes Dennis E. Powell in The view from the desktop, is: How does one plaintiff sue millions of defendants all at once?"
IDC: Servers to make mild recovery
http://newsvac.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/05/24/1628251
SAN JOSE, Calif.--Server sales are expected to return to modest growth by 2004 because of wider use of Linux and Windows, but the increase won't be enough to carry the bruised market to the level of its glory years of early 2000, IDC research shows.
Why don't you and he fight?
http://newsvac.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/05/24/1624207
Dave B writes "What are SCO trying to accomplish with their very public attacks on IBM, Linux and corporate america? Bob Cringely doesn't know, it makes no kind of sense, but he thinks it's a question someone should be asking Microsoft."
SCO Strategy now clear
http://newsvac.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/05/24/1621257
Agent Orange writes "Thanks to the good folks at Linux Voodoo, I now have a much clearer perspective of the arguments that SCO intends to use in its legal manuevering. The arguments are clear - but they are flawed. What SCO intends to claim is copyright and ownership of some sort of "code slippage" wherein a possible SCO (or Caldera?) employee may have distributed code under the GPL that they did not have the right to distribute."
Meet Kast
http://newsvac.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/05/24/1620237
Anonymous Reader writes "With the arrival of Kast, described by its creator, Jason Rohrer, as the first konspire2b-based app, "powerful organizations lost the advantage that they had been holding onto for hundreds of years" and for the first time, people can distribute, "high-quality content to a massive audience without expending large amounts of time, money, or other resources"."
Michael Tiemann on the new W3C patent policy http://newsvac.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/05/24/1618229
Jeremy Hogan writes: The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has published its long-awaited Patent Policy. This ground-breaking policy delivers two immediate benefits:
Microsoft vs. Linux Takes a Weird Turn http://newsvac.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=03/05/23/1431240
Gates & Co. are paying a licensing fee for SCO's Unix technology -- and some techies see a plot to derail the rival operating system.
