Latest SCO News

Posted by michael on from the a-day-without-sco-is-like-a-day-without-sunshine dept.

SCO has discovered an amendment to their contract with Novell that may clarify that they did purchase the copyright to System V after all. Heise has an interview in German with a former employee. Cringely says SCO probably was responsible for any duplicated code itself, with a theory that is quite plausible. One non-programmer corporate analyst has looked at SCO's alleged evidence. And SCO has another press conference today.

    Ok, its at the end when cringley changes topics to AOL, but I love this quote:

    "AOL's increasingly shabby treatment of people like me is one of the reasons their results are in a tailspin," said my friend.ï½ "And as they auger in, I'll be rooting for the ground."

    I'm right there with you man. Where do I get the T-shirt?

    I'm not sure... Would this be a dupe? Same back-and-fourth, with absolutely no substance, as the last 500 freaking /. stories about SCO.

    Excuse me, I have to visit my prefs to exclude Caldera stories. I just wish there was a Cringly and NY Times category as well...

  4. Trust the users? by AmoebafromSweden · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    The article lists one of the features being:
    a biometric room safe that uses a thumbprint as the lock and key

    Ok, what do they do if the guest leaves without reseting the safe?

    Or do they have someway to open the safe without the guests thumbprint. Do they not eliminate the purpose of the safe then?
