My Visit to SCO
Ian Lance Taylor writes "I signed the SCO NDA and visited them to discuss their claims against Linux. My essay about it is on the Linux Journal web site. The short version is that SCO's claims are unproven, as indeed I expected would be the case before I went. The amount of information they were willing to show me was extremely limited, and
did not by itself prove that their claims were true, nor that their claims were false." Other SCO-bits: Sun is doing their usual foot-in-mouth routine, thinking that two FUDs makes a Solaris purchase, or something like that. IBM is now joining the contact the customers bandwagon. Eric Raymond has been keeping himself busy - here's a story about him. SCO hates BSD, too, but they're not taking it lying down. And of course Cringley has his two cents.
more pseudo-intellectual BS from ESR.
These SCO articles no longer generate any serious discussion. It is a free-for-all post-fest of +5 Funny. Why bother putting these on the front page anymore?
Earth to Sontag YOU ARE INSANE Sue that, fuckhead.
Trolling is a art,
During the Red Scare, many innocent people were accused of working for Soviet interests and persecuted because of those accusations. The Red Scare was rather rash and foolish in hindsight because it turned out that the accusations were baseless.
This is not true Mc-Carthy was a press whore and exaderated some claims of communists however many communists did exist during the "red scare" and did try to influcnce the government.
Don't tell us that it was a red scare when at communist party conventions they could fill madason square garden and members of the communist party were found to be in the state department and other levels of offical power and in control of many small labor unions.
The soviet union crushed the american communist party twice by signing a non agression pact with hitler and by their mass murder of millions after the war. Still many did exist and in some cases did great harm to the united states.
The rest of your statement is useless jibber jabber attacking companies you are most likey mad at because you were never hired by them and the entertainment industry for not getting a blowjob from hallie berry.
I like poo

Umm, perhaps you've heard of Irix? Or maybe a company they owned (and still has former employees of) before hemorraging called Cray Research? Don't suppose they had a version of Unix do you?
