I really don't understand the article. So in 2003 cellular minutes were expensive. Fair enough. But then we jump to 2010-2016. No information on pricing of calls then, or more importantly, SMS messages... So a missed-call was free.

How much are you going to know about a "fresh out of school" hire after 2 weeks, though? The less work experience they have, the longer it's going to take for them to really get up to speed and show that they will become val

The original SCO case dragged on because the law firm screwed-up and foolishly offered their services for free, indefinitely. This time around, I can't imagine Xinuos will stumble upon such an amazing deal and instead will have to ble

Socat is terrible. When used to establish a persistent connection to a remote listening (TCP) port, it has NO WAY to detect that the remote end has dropped the connect, and automatically reconnect. It just does not work. Yes, I know all ab
