SCO Taking Linux Discussion To Japan
levin writes "EETimes is carrying a new story about our good friend Darl McBride, CEO of SCO. His latest escapades include a trip to Japan in response to the CE Linux Forum initiative undertaken by several big-name Japanese tech firms such as Sony and Toshiba. He's putting his famous tainted code dog-and-pony show on parade, trying to influence some of the major CELF founders."
....I guess that means he'll have to accept his AssHat Award by proxy.
Yeah, I use SCO as my server platform, and WinXP for my desktop. I'm a /. rebel, baby!

We had two Compaq Proliant servers at work, running SCO Unix. We reinstalled them with Linux three weeks ago and sent back all SCO CD's, handbooks etc. to SCO with a little note that we dont want to use Software from a Company which can't write good code and sues those who can.

Curious why we didn't receive a response yet

(AP) In a related story, SCO took its fight against Linux to Antarctica. Little is known of the results, except that there are rumors of significant reductions in the penguin population."
Don't blame Durga. I voted for Centauri.
Just finished converting my home's systems from Debian to OpenServer. Cost me a bundle, but I figure it's important to support organizations that defend IP rights.

Nippon-Sue-Sue SCO-wonderful Easy-Rider-Salad-The-Mall! We didn't win so Sue! Sue! Sue! Sue!
Now where are the guys in underwear jumping around talking about how life is good as long as they have leaves and that the economy will recover?
Related Link: Google for Yatta. Trust me.
I assert that my comment is only my opinion, not that of any employer, past, present or future.
When I think about SCO I touch my CELF
FUD means "search the FUcking web, Dude".
Oh wait, wrong one.
Isn't it enough to piss off one 800 pound gorilla?
Now he goes poking another eight of them with a stick.
retrorocket.o not found, launch anyway?
FilePro. We use it for a FilePro database that runs our entire accounting operations. I dunno why. Maybe I should mention to them that FilePro runs on Linux now. (duh).
Wow, I thought we were the only bass-ackwards organization that did that. We're trying to migrate away from FilePro, as it's retarded in ways that makes the short-bus riding childrens parents cringe in horror and shock.
We regularly get to make SCO jokes, though. Still not any form of consolation for having to have programs actually run on that shit.
Dacels Jewelers can't be trusted.
Our point of sale system is running on SCO. Replacing it this winter woohoo :)

I do like to bash Microsoft but sometimes their products make sense.
Every few lines there was a line that was exactly the same as code in the Linux kernel source tree.
These lines contained one and only one character: '\n'

You sure? It compiles fine for me.
What has *science* done?!? -- Dr. Weird (ATHF)
I think he meant "typos" like src, dest, byte, sprinf, and char. I mean, some of those aren't even words, dude.
end of line
sprintf even, sorry for the typo
end of line
wow, there must just be some insane hash being passed round at SCO headquaters. I wanna get me a half a bag of SCO special, sounds like it kicks ass.
potty-mouthed malcontents?!?
FUCK HIM!!! fuck him and his lousy, closed-source thesaurus! =)
