Satan to give Keynote on Church Management...

...or close enough, anyway.

Still making misleading statements about what they own, I notice, but this time a faint harmonic of caution seems to have crept into their tune:

SCO owns the core UNIX operating system, originally developed by AT&T/Bell Labs and is the exclusive licensor to UNIX-based system software providers.

If they were interested in truth, they would say that “The SCO Group owns distribution rights to the residual proprietary aspects of AT&T/Bell UNIX®, as overseen by Novell — the exclusive licensor — and SCO is their sole agent for the purpose.”

Given that Intel have now openly called SCOX liars in court — and SCOX have not objected to that — you’d have to have had your head under a rock for a very long time to expect to see truth out of D’ohl & co. Nevertheless, hope springs eternal...

You are a fucking half wit.
You should stop being such a loser and go get a life, YOUR COMPUTER IS NOT YOUR GIRLFRIEND!

I seem to be about 40 years ahead of you on that latter point. The former point is now medical history (count the neurons) but not for the reasons you evidently espouse yourself, rather through a similar (although much more physically injuring, if not more pointless) than your post here. In summary, I strongly suspect that indulging in a sustainable and genuinely useful life will be a revolutionary and productive step for you.

new life for an old (FTX) PSU, improved life for one human

the LEDs on this 5m strip happen to emit light centred on a red that does unexpectedly helpful things to (and surprisingly deeply within) a human routinely exposed to it. it has been soldered to a Molex connector, plugged into a TFX power supply from a (retired: the MoBo is cactus) Small Form Factor PC, the assorted PSU connectors (and loose end from the strip) have been taped over. the LED strip cost $10.24 including postage, the rest cost $0, the PSU is running at 12½% of capacity, consumes less power than a laptop plug-pack despite running a fan. trial runs begin today.

every-application-is-part-of-a-toolkit at work

I have a LibreOffice Impress slideshow that I wish to turn into a narrated video. 1. export the slideshow as PNG images (if that is partially broken — as at now — at higher resolutions, Export Directly as PDF then use ‘pdftoppm’ (from the poppler-utils package) to do the same). 2. write a small C program (63 lines including comments) to display those images one at a time, writing a config file entry for Imagination (default transition: ‘cross fade’) based on when the image-viewer application (‘display,’ from the GraphicsMagick suite) is closed on each one; run that, read each image aloud, then close each image in turn. 3. run ‘Imagination’ over the config file to produce a silent MP4 video with the correct timings. 4. run ‘Audacity’ to record speech while using ‘SMPlayer’ to display the silent video, then export that recording as a WAV file. 4a. optionally, use ‘TiMIDIty’ to convert a non-copyright-encumbered MIDI tune to WAV, then import that and blend it with the speech (as a quiet b...

boundaries

pushing the actual boundaries of the physical (not extremes, the boundaries themselves) can often remove barriers not otherwise perceived. one can then often resolve an issue itself, rather than merely stonewalling at the physical consequences of the issue.
