IBM Responds To SCO: Business As Usual
Newsforge is running a statement from IBM on its decision not to bow to SCO's demand that they stop shipping AIX. In a statement this short, there's not much room for weaselly language, but the even-shorter version is this: "IBM's Unix license is irrevocable, perpetual and fully paid up. It cannot be terminated."
No one cares anymore, idiot.

I want to see SCO crush IBM, personally. It'd be funny if some two-bit company made an unstoppable juggernaut pay up.
your an arse for pissing all over his comment. If you can't enjoy his comment for what it is don't bash it like I am bashing your comment. hmm strike that from the record.

Dear fucktroids,
I am sick and fucking tired of hearing you fuckmonkeys bitch and moan about fucking SCO. That's why I blocked the Caldera topic from my front page. Unfortunately, you fucknuggets can't get your shit straight, so you're posting articles about this bullshit in IBM, in UNIX, and wherever else the fuck you want. Well, I am sick and tired of it.
I, Seth Finklestein, have the power to orchestrate a mass boycott of Slashdot's advertisers, including but not limited to Microsoft. If you do not comply and classify this article as "Caldera," I cannot be held responsible for my actions thereafter.
Sincerely,
Seth Finklestein.
DO THEY HAVE ANY PROOF THAT TERRORISTS USE LINUX?
Yes, here's proof that terrorists use linux:
Defense Department OK's open-source software.
War *is* terrorism.
"Sorry, chum, but your moderation was fair. "
I see what you're saying, but I disagree. The article doesn't call it 'FUD'. The poster I was replying to called it FUD, which is a term used quite frequently here on Slasdot. I didn't connect the dots. I admit that. Just figured he read something I didn't.
Oh well. Too bad modding me down is more important than answering my question. I appreciate you taking the time to answer my question, though.
"Derp de derp."
"IBM plots revenge on SCO by dropping an a-bomb on SCO's headquarters" while IBM shouts out "suck it assholes"
Did you ever stop to think that SCO may actually be right? Do you think they would risk all this negative publicity for nothing? And since when is IBM the savior of Linux? If anything IBM fscked up and put UNIX code into Linux. Wouldn't be the first time IBM "screwed the pooch" on something.
Just because you can say War==bad and Terrorism==bad, this does not mean that War==Terrorism
That isn't the equation I am using. The equation I am using is: Terrorism = killing innocent civilians, War = killing innocent civilians, ergo War = Terrorism. See Iraq Body Count for details.
English is a wonderfully decriptive language Yes it is, and using a term like terrorism as an excuse to commit terror is the worst kind of abuse of the language.
If what you're telling me is "We're right and they're wrong so they're terrorists and we're heroes", that is the same argument Osama Bin Laden makes and I don't believe him either.
I never said he couldn't ask the question. However I did say that it should be modded down because it is a waste of space/time to the vast majority of /. readers. You could have googled for "FUD" as well, and you would have found out what it meant. I thought that was what geeks did when they wanted to find out the definition of a word like FUD, or to figure out who RMS is. And as for this "nonsence" discussion, I said in my post pretty much the exact same thing, (it's a waste of space/time), so thanks for chiming in to agree with me, and adding some more nonsense, (proper spelling), to this thread.
Anti-social? My code is just platform-specific.
Isn't it an example if typical behavior of a typical american?
