on from the this-is-only-gonna-get-more-interesting dept.
djtrippin writes "Linus comes forth on the SCO v IBM suit and how it pertains (or doesn't, for that matter) to Linux." He definitely puts a fair amount of perspective on the whole thing. This story really is only going to get more bizarre.
I'm posting anon this time, but this'll be my second fp in a week:)

Dear Apple

Dear Apple, I am a homosexual. I bought an Apple computer because of its well earned reputation for being "the" gay computer. Since I have become an Apple owner, I have been exposed to a whole new world of gay friends. It is really a pleasure to meet and compute with other homos such as myself. I plan on using my new Apple computer as a way to entice and recruit young schoolboys into the homosexual lifestyle; it would be so helpful if you could produce more software which would appeal to young boys. Thanks in advance.
with much gayness,
Father Randy "Pudge" O'Day, S.J.

I don't think you understood -- that is a verbatim quote from the actual court document. SCO has actually made that statement in their complaint, and with a straight face, filed it with a court.
Personally, I would have fired the lawyer who came up with that. (It reminds me of the time I DID fire a lawyer for saying "you don't need a nuclear bomb to blow up an anthill" in a piece of litigation for me.)
In a first draft you can say amateur crap like that, but this is a billion dollar suit. It calls for some standards.

linux is dying

It's time we all faced the truth. Linux is dying. Linux has been dying for a long long time. Distros are dying by the droves. Many more have already died. The ones that are left are sick, like SCO. It's long past time we closed the chapter on this re-invention of the BSD and go back to advancing the state of the art.

I'm sick of this karma whoring going on at slashdot recently. People should be given points of having something to say, and not just reposting data.
To jsse (254124):
So you like posting copyrighted material ?
You do know that with the approval of the copyright holder of this content, you have no legal right to repost this material. So essentially the fine folks of of MozillaQuest Magazine could come after your ass.
This isn't about the DMCA, or the other crap that slashdot babies cry about. This is about copyright laws that exist to rightfully protect information. These same laws protect whatever open source license you choose to use. (Copyright laws might be abused, but they aren't all a bad thing.)
PS: So the next time you re-post copyright data. Don't karma-whore and post it as AC.

Does anyone else find it interesting that this argument has such a strong parallel to the argument evolutionsists use to try to refute the possibility of God?
Does anyone else find it interesting that Slashdot has been completely overrun by lunatic fundamentalist creationists lately? There have been more creationist nutbags trolling Slashdot then I've been seeing on t.o. It's quite scary.

We don't use "antique" measurements in the US, we use the measurements based on the measure handed to us by God. The rest of the world is using a system of measurements handed to them by the French.
Which would you prefer?
For those outside of the know, the inch is related to the cubit which you can find throughout the Bible. Their is no scientific reason for prefering the meter to the cubit.
A cult following just like his toy operating system! Saint Linus...I keep picturing someone with a little statue on their monitor praying to it.

Why do you care about some other numbnuts' fucking karma? And why do you care if he fucking reposts the shit so we don't have to find some goddamn Google cache? And why do you waste your fucking time blasting the only useful comment on this moronic POS thread? Enquiring minds want to know (and are wasting their own time flaming you).
