Are you thinking about writing an Article on a topic related to Linux? Since I spend way too much time reading tech news and even contribute some of my own allow me to save you some time.

There is a hearing coming up on February 4 at 3 PM before Judge Stewart in SCO v. Novell, and I surely hope some of you can attend, regarding Novell's recently filed motion asking to set aside an earlier judgment by Judge Kimball, so Novell can go after monies SCO took in from Microsoft and companies that bought a SCOsource license. But there's something odd in the notice about the hearing.

Now, I do. Let me tell you the story in brief. I’ve been fascinated with Linux for a long time. Eventually I needed the support of my media card readers, and abandoned it. Enter the two new computers we bought this weekend.

This is very odd. Remember at the last bankruptcy hearing on June 15 SCO represented that there were several different possible purchasers SCO was considering? Both SCO CEO Darl McBride and Frank Caplan, a lawyer for Berger Singerman, testified about that. Caplan mentioned at least four deals.

Certain jobs can lead to hearing loss over time due to the high level of noise involved in the work. Some of the industries where hearing loss is common are: Construction, Farming, Music, and Industrial workers. If you have suffered from hearing loss due to your job you may be eligible for workers compensation in Missouri or Illinois.

Look what I just found, SCO's Partners page from 2002, on Internet Archive, and lo and behold, it provides proof positive that SCO, then calling itself Caldera, knew that IBM was involved with Linux as far back as 1998. That's the year Santa Cruz and IBM signed the agreement regarding Project Monterey, executed in October of 1998.

I just read Free Software Magazine's article about the state of Linux hardware support. While I agree in many ways about the lack of vendor support for Linux, there is another side to the story. Think about the last time you bought a piece of hardware that worked perfectly with Linux.

I just bought a MacBook Pro and am really happy with it thus far. Spent a bunch of time before then reading up on whether the MacBook Pros can play nicely with Linux (model 5,5 is what I ended up getting), and felt pretty comfortable that a MBP could be a really nice Linux machine.
