The company has made a lot of enemies with its legal assault against Linux, and some have responded by going after its Web site. This time, though, hackers have been able to post their own sarcastic messages on the site - twice in two days. SCO Web site hack mocks company's legal claims <http://www.nwfusion.com/news/2004/1129scowebs.html?net> University takes go-slow approach to VoIP Convergence ain't all it's cracked up to be. That's the verdict of the University of San Francisco, whose IT staff balked at the cost of upgrading the school's infrastructure to go all-IP.
