From flower_cat: "I'll bet you buttons to belvederes..."

The other shoe drops:

C|Net: Microsoft to license Unix code, which explains why SCO is suing IBM and threatening the rest of the Linux community. (We note in passing that SCO's Unix was originally derived from Microsoft's Xenix. Hmm.)

Be really interesting if it turns out that some of what they're licensing turns out to be GPLed. Since its purchase by Caldera, at the time a Linux distributor, the ancestry of SCO Unix has been, at least potentially, somewhat mixed.

Nano-review: Mozilla Firebird 0.6

I've been using the latest release of the browser formerly known as Phoenix ever since it came out on Friday. I discovered after I fired it up that it was still using ~/.phoenix for its profile, which it imported almost flawlessly.

You do have to switch to a new theme if you want to use the new icons in the option window. I have since made /usr/local/bin/phoenix a symlink to M-F, and don't really expect anyone else here at the Starport to notice.
