10. June, 2003 - Novell loses a round

Hey, Joe Shallenberger got another RBI last night without getting a hit, collecting a bases-loaded walk. And Jeff Brooks, who was just acquired, hit a homer in his first at bat, on the first pitch. Another Saints win. Attendance didn’t even break 5000 though, which is surprising, as well as the team is playing.
Pick a Language, Any Language: Last week, DARPA challenged coders to write software that will translate English to an arbitrary language. The deadline? Next month. And there’ll be no funding for it beyond that. The real goal is to find out how quickly researchers can build a translation engine if it’s needed on short notice, but there will hopefully be other cool things that come out of the project.
Remember the Iraqi museum that was supposedly looted, losing priceless artifacts? Well, the latest word is Baghdad treasures ‘mostly intact’. Seems there was a secret storage vault where most of the things were hidden when the shooting started.
Have I pointed to this History Of The Internet before? I dunno. Whether I have or not, it’s darned funny.
SCO-Caldera v IBM: SCO 1, Novell -1 in SCO v Novell Unix-IP Feud. Novell seems to have lost round one in the battle, as SCO points out that yes, they did buy Unix from Novell, and they've got the signed contract to prove it.
