SCO Amends Suit, Clarifies "Violations", Triples Damages
Bootsy Collins writes "This evening on C|Net contains three new items. First, they've upped the damages they're seeking to $3 billion. Second, they claim that by making SMP technology generally available through Linux, IBM violated federal export controls and thus breached their contract with SCO through committing an illegal act. Finally, they elaborate on one specific technology they claim rights to which IBM inserted into the 2.5 kernel series -- the
read-copy update memory management features which went in at 2.5.43.
Unclear is why SCO thinks they have the rights to RCU, since the technology was originally developed by Sequent in the early 1990s."
gentoo..
failing that try here
I run mandrake with a 2.5 kernel.
thank God the internet isn't a human right.
There's a difference between moderating and replying. Apparently this is too difficult for some people to understand...
Jesus Christ, I was about to die without another SCO story in the last fifteen minutes.
I'd like to not filter all of these stories out, since it would be nice to see the important SCO news updates, but isn't this a bit much?
Why are you letting these clowns ruin our country?

BUT.. If Micro$oft keep$ paying licen$ing fee$ and $uch to $C0 they might have enough ca$h in their pocket$ to drag out the court ca$e a while yet. The trick i$ to keep feeding money to $C0 under the table and not get caught doing it.
:-(
$C0 i$ definately looking (or more like hopeing) for a buyout by IBM. I hope IBM doe$n't bite and let'$ a $illy company die a $low, painful death.
One que$tion I have i$ thi$.. Would you ever put "I worked at $C0" on your re$ume after this embara$$ment? Ok, maybe the upper-exec$ might walk off with enough money to live on the re$t of their live$, but what about the re$t of the folk?

You sir, are a bigot. Just because you can't bring yourself to actually name the group that you're insulting (Mormons or Latter-day Saints) doesn't make you any less of a bigot. You decide, SIMPLY ON THE BASIS OF THEIR RELIGION, that they're stupid, ignorant, superstitous followers.
I don't know which Mormons you met, but I'm sure that many of them were actually children of members who think that the Mormons are all evil because their parents wouldn't let them date before they were 16. I wonder, did you actually get to know any Mormons? Or did your opinion simply come from your observation of your neighbors, who you assumed were Mormons?
I agree that *Utahns* in general are not overly welcoming to outsiders, but this is common throughout the west. It's part of the culture. However, to say that only the Mormons are this way is bigoted.

Isn't it surprising how badly I spell ?
I suppose what's more surprising is that 1) you seem to be proud of the fact that you're functionally illiterate and 2) from your ID number you've been around
I think it's very sad that you're obviously aware of the problem but do nothing to handle it.
