SCO Says IBM Hurt Profits 174

Posted by kdawson from the and-a-bandaid-for-your-knee dept.
AlanS2002 sends in a link from a local Utah newspaper covering the SCO-IBM trial. The Deseret News chose to emphasize SCO's claim that IBM hurt SCO's relationship with several high-tech powerhouses, causing SCO's market share and revenues to plummet. "[A]n attorney for Lindon-based SCO said IBM 'pressured' companies to cut off their relationships with SCO. And 'the effect on SCO was devastating and it was immediate'..." As usual Groklaw has chapter and verse on all the arguments in the motions for summary judgement.

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes: To debug the FreeBSD kernel core dump efficiently, it is best to set up a remote debugging session between the development machine and target machine, and remotely debug the kernel using serial communication. This article shows you how you can debug as many kernel images as you want to debug; it becomes transparent to users once debugging starts and your system's performance is not affected at all.

Submitted by Gammu

Submission + - iPods helping conservation

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes: The Sunday Star Times is reporting that the New Zealand Department of Conservation is using iPods to help resettle moved birds. The problem is that the rare Kakapo's call is localised (just as accents differ), so moving them to safer, predator-free, areas presents quite a challenge. DoC decided on using iPods to help 'anchor' the Kakapo into their new environment — and seems to be working. The Department is looking at using similar techniques for the native whitehead.

Journal by zmef420

OK, so a while back now I was working on a business plan and stumbled across the website of a startup company offering a very intriguing product, a small wind and solar generator system. The product is about the size of a digital satellite dish and the basic unit is claimed to produce 300 watts and includes a 700 watt inverter. Being the impulse buyer that I am, I quickly purchased some of these units but sadly they still haven't arrived. I'm starting to worry that I've been duped. My questio
