OSI vs SCO

the jackol writes "As expected, the OSI's just given the SCO vs IBM case a bite with this position paper. "SCO has never owned the UNIX trademark. IBM neither requested nor required SCO's permission to call their AIX offering a Unix. That decision lies not with the accidental owner of the historical Bell Labs source code, but with the Open Group.""

Rocketman, as interpreted by William Shatner by Anonymous Coward · 2003-05-20 00:27 · Score: -1, Offtopic

Good morning. In 1972, when Elton John and I wrote Rocketman, it became very popular among the listeners. Due to the interest and the meaning of the song, now, in 2003, I am truly proud, once again, to present my Rocketman, as interpreted by William Shatner. Thank you.

Truly an American icon

Interactive UNIX by thomasa · 2003-05-20 01:15 · Score: 0, Offtopic

I spend $1500 on a unlimited user UNIX
called Interactive UNIX. It was marketed
by Sun at the time. It was a true SVR3.2
running on Intel. This was in 1994.

I am also an attorney (Hey, we guys should have a party some time!) and I hate to break it to you, but I fear for the the future of Twinkies. 7-11 doesn't have a legal leg to stand on.

How does crap like this get mod'd as insightful? The original poster was obviously making a facetious remark. To mod the above response as insightful is almost criminally stupid. It should have been mod'd as 'dense'.
