Latest SCO News

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.

  9. Huh? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    "C'mon, this way!" John heard his daughter Hayley call out to her
    friend Beth. Hayley and Beth had just arrived in preparation for their
    senior prom. The process of dress shopping had been painful for John,
    since that was something his wife had done before she died. With his
    wife gone, John was more intent than ever to remain close with his
    only child.
    The girls returned downstairs later to be admired by John. Hayley was
    the picture of her mother, average height with shoulder-length dark
    brown hair worn straight. She was still carrying some "little girl"
    chubbiness that only accentuated her voluptuous build. He knew from
    doing laundry that she wore 38B bras, but was sure they were probably
    tight. She looked stunning in her dress; it was a royal blue satin,
    off the shoulder number with a full skirt that came to about mid-calf.
    Her makeup and hair were done so well that even her mom would have
    been proud.
    Beth wasn't going to let Hayley outdo her tonight. Her dress was an
    emerald dress similar to Hayley's, and it accentuated her flaming red
    hair and sparkling green eyes beautifully. She was short and very
    busty, so the dress appeared rather different than Hayley's despite
    the similarities. Both girls had recently broken up with the boys who
    were supposed to be their escorts, so they decided to go together,
    "like Thelma and Louise."
    After what seemed like hundreds of photos, John escorted the girls to
    their "limousine" for the evening: his 1971 Barracuda. While not the
    easiest car to get in and out of, it was what the girls wanted. He
    drove them to a fancy restaurant for dinner, and like a chauffeur,
    waited in the car. When they emerged, he helped the young ladies into
    the car for the drive to the prom.
    John almost felt lecherous when helping Beth out of the car; her
    pouffy skirt rode up and he caught a glimpse of her legs high up the
    thigh- and maybe he thought, a little panty action. The girls were off
    to the grand march and, after many more photos with their friends,
    John headed out for a drive. He was to pick up the girls at eleven
    unless they called him before. From there, they wanted to be taken to
    the after-prom. He checked the trunk to make sure the girls duffels
    and dress bags had been placed there. When he was sure everything was
    set, he headed out for home.
    John was never much of one to look at erotica, but since his wife's
    death he had started to visit the adult shops, and sometimes would buy
    erotic stories to masturbate to. He was engrossed in one of his
    stories when the phone rang. Even though it was only ten, the girls
    were ready to be picked up. He dressed and headed out again.
    The girls were waiting outside on the bench when John pulled up. Both
    girls looked upset, and while driving home he found out why: Beth's
    ex-boyfriend was being a jerk, and they finally had enough of him and
    decided to leave. They requested that John take them home because they
    didn't want to go to the party if Beth's boyfriend was there.
    As the girls exited the car, Beth's dress once again slid up her
    thigh, giving John another tantalizing glimpse of her firm, muscular
    legs. He tried to put the thought out of her mind as he walked behind
    them into the house. Even though both girls were eighteen, he had
    known Beth since she was little and was having a rough time accepting
    her as a woman. Beth was a girl to fantasize about. She stood about
    5'1", and was rather slim. She had been a star on the school swim
    team, and looked the part. Her red hair was cut shoulder length, and
    her skin was lightly freckled everywhere he had ever seen. The part
    about her that didn't fit the "athlete look" was her breasts. They
    appeared to John's untrained eye to be a D-cup, but he couldn't be
    sure.
    The girls went inside and plopped down on the sofa. John asked all
    about the evening, and when they had given him all the details they
    asked what he did while they were gone. "Were yo

    SCO is a lying cheater the same way doctor who circumcise violate children's rights. SCO is doing what doctors who promote circumcision do, they create misleading and sometimes false research to say that palladium or circumcision is in your childs interest WHEN IT IS CLEARLY NOT.

    Why am I speaking out? The same reason people protest against SCO. Some people say circumcision is NOTHING why are you speaking out? Well if circumcison is nothing WHY CIRCUMCISE!? Truth is, circumcision is BAD and read on to find out why.

    For instance, up to 1999, doctors gave newborns NO pain medication during circumcision because they said babies don't feel pain. Then they did studies WHICH HAD TO BE HALTED because they were UNETHICAL because the control group wasn't given pain relief during circumcision. The ones who were given a dorsal nerve block cried less and the ones who were circumcised without pain relief exhibited symptoms of extreme pain.

    If doctors who promote circumcision were SO unethical as to say that babies don't feel pain during circumcision IT PROVES people are capable of DOING ANYTHING. That is why we need an alternative to Palladium because MICROSOFT WILL ABUSE IT'S POWER just like the medical profession does with circumcision.

    If you are abused you are more likely to be an abuser. That is why some doctors justify doing circumcisions, becuase it was done to them, so they wrongly assume it is the right thing to do.

    Being UNCIRCUMSIED leads TO LESS DISEASE than circumcised men.

    http://www.cirp.org/library/disease/STD/

    Are you circumcised? If so, you are more likely to have your son circumcised according to various studies. Circumcision is the removal of prepuce in the male which has the same function and origin as the clitoral hood in women.

    THERE ARE HORRIBLE consequences when circumcision goes wrong. Here is a link to what happens:

    http://www.infocirc.org/fourn.htm

    The foreskin and clitoral hood at one point were the same in the embryo. The reason for circumcision's "cleanliness" benefit would also apply to women BUT notice that women ARE smart enough to disallow this proceedure on themselves, instead forcing it on their helpless sons.

    Doctors say removing the prepuce in the male IS acceptable on religious or personal reasons BUT in the female circumcision statement they say NO circumcision is allowed EVEN though the foreskin and the clitoral hood ARE biologically the same and BOTH have smegma if not cleaned like a normal decent person would do. In some Muslim and Iraeli communities they do perform a type of circumcision called a Sunna that is EQUIVELANT to male circumcision, AND WHY ISN'T THERE A SIMILAR OUTCRY and legislation against male circumcision?

    The "health benefits" are highly suspicious especially the AIDs research in Africa stating that circumcision prevents aids. The authors in those studies FAILED to take into account sexual behaviour because those circumcised are Muslims and therefore sexual promiscuity is punishable by DEATH and therefore AIDs does NOT spread. The United States has the highest AIDs rate in the industrialized world, and one of the highest circumcision rates. The Europeans rarely circumcise their children and they have a lower AIDs rates. New studies should be commissined by EXPERTS who will take into account sexual behaviour.

    UTIs are another common excuse to do male circumcisions but the compilcations of male circumcision is HIGHER than the UTI rate. Infections, and even loss of penis occures in 1/1000 circumcisions. Just look at the Gomco clamp incident where they were defective and injuring boys recently. UTIs are even more common in girls, should we circumcise them? Of course NOT.

    The worst thing about circumcision is the fact that you lose the ability to fuck and masturbate as nature intended. Uncircumcised men DO NOT use lubrication, but instead glide the foreskin over the glans. A similar function is evident in sexual intercourse by allowing the penis to glide in its ow
