Slashdot Mirror

For those of you wondering what this whole SCO vs. Linux thing was about, I can finally reveal the truth.

As chairman and CEO of Canopy I've done a lot for the Open Source community. I've promoted investments in companies like Linux Networx, who make the third fastest supercomputer in the world and use Linux to do it. Companies like Lineo the masters of embedded Linux. Also Trolltech producing the incredible QT widget set used by the KDE project. And of course Caldera, producing the finest Linux distribution and pushing forwards the United Linux initiative.

But one shadow lay over my record of achievements. Despite all I had done for the Linux and Open Source communities, I still had never achieved the triumph I most desperately sought. Not once had an article I submitted been accepted by Slashdot :(

I'm sure my fellow Slashdotters can understand how this gnawed away at my soul.

Together with Darl McBride and David Boies I hatched a master plan, to achieve my dream of an accepted Slashdot article or to destroy Linux trying.

Caldera would purchase IP rights from the Santa Cruz Operation and with funding from Sun and Microsoft would use them as the springboard to launch a devastating legal and PR blitz against Linux. As part of this Darl would write a searing open letter to the Open Source community, drawing responses in return. One of these from Groklaw would give me the opportunity I needed...

As you can see everything has gone exactly to plan. I have my successful Slashdot submission, and I'm sure that looking back on it you can all see it was worth any 'collateral damage' along the way.

Darl, you can call off the dogs now.

God bless you all.

- Booze and TOTALLY NAKED women in our strip clubs

Yep, we got that!. Note, most are full bar, but some only have beer/wine, and ALL are full nude.

- Toronto (much like NYC I think) allows women to walk around topless (not that any do, but the possibility is there)

got that too... not just in theory... warning, nudity if you follow that link :-)

- Casinos popping up all over the place

Saddly, every indian reservation has one, wether they want to or not. But I'm not going to link to 'em.

- An increasingly larger separation of Church and State (hence the allowed gay marriages)

Well, we don't have this.

- Better beer

Oh, yeah (far too many to list here)

- Cheaper CDs, DVDs, computer hardware, software, and just about any other form of entertainment

Really, how much is a CDR disc, with that RIAA levy?

- Cheaper medicine

Probably true.

Hey! Don't forget the profund effect of Aimee Deep's inticing offer to get people to sign. :) I picture of a cute girl for signing a petition I like anyway.. OK!

What nobody seems to have pointed out are that the two images of "Aimee Deep" - one on Madster.com, and one on MusicPundit.com - don't look like the same person!

Exhibit B

I finally figured out who this chick is from this story. It's "Aimee-Deep-Boobies-for-the-boys.png

I talked to her agent. If you want her to model with guns for you it is $500/hr.
