SCO Protest And Anti-Protest In Provo

Posted by timothy on from the please-stop-beating-my-wife dept.

a.ameri writes "On Friday, June 20, the Provo Linux Users Group decided to head on over to SCO's offices and hold a protest; information on the event, including pictures and press coverage, can be found on the PLUG page. Among other things, the protesters claim that SCO employes came out and joined the event holding pre-prepared signs saying things like 'I love software piracy' and 'Try communism - use Linux.'" There are some funny shots linked here (thanks to reader lucif latum). Daddio64 points to the press covereage in the Deseret News and Provo Daily Herald.

    Once you've finished trying to smoke your own cock, you might want to read what I wrote again. "Ya Vol" is in quotes, indicating that it is in fact, a quote. From the poster. You know, the one I was commenting on. The comment "And misspelt German is not the way to look clever" may also have been a little pointer.

    Oh, and it's spelt "spelt" not "spellt", numbnuts. And it's "Jawohl". One word. Do try to keep up. I know it's hard for the educationally challenged like yourself.

    That linux users do not steal IP.

    Oh wait, was it a parody? Arn't those supposed to be funny? I mean, this commic dosn't really make any sense, because there isn't really any reason for SCO to listen to all of us, if they really think they're right.

    > SCO's real class was demonstrated when they wouldn't let my friend's 4 year old use the bathroom

    This takes nothing away from the argument, but WHY THE HELL SHOULD THEY? You expect them to allow bathroom use for any homeless bum who comes along? Then why should they let his son? If your friend was responsible (which I don't claim he isn't, maybe he just didn't think long enough) he would take his son elsewhere, or maybe NOT BROUGHT HIM TO A FRIGGIN PROTEST. Pause the picketing for five minutes, Gandhi, and walk to a damn MacDonalds.
