    The ODSL has released a position paper...

    I'm really glad to see the Old Dominion Soccer League (ODSL) taking a kick at this. Hopefully they'll have the balls hang tough with SCO and score one for Linux lovers everywhere!

    I was working for several years at SCO, and was the lead developer for their SMP module. Anyway, I was also good friends with Linus Torvalds at this time. Once I was working at home, and he came round to visit me. Anyway, when I got back to work, I noticed that my printer's paper tray was empty. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but I guess Linus must have printed off a copy of the code, and used that for Linux SMP support.

    No idea why he didn't just ftp it to himself. I guess the guy never was too hot when it comes to computers.

    Why do you want those soccer moms and kids to get slashdotted?

    This is probably because what those jocks did to you in high school, eh?

    Forgive and forget, man.
    Forgive and forget.
