Samba Team Points Out SCO's Hypocrisy
An anonymous reader noted an article talking about the Samba
Team's Statement to SCO. While Darl McBride blasts the GPL, his company simultaneously announces the use of Samba 3 in their OpenServer product. I'm not sure if it breaks my heart or boils my blood to read this stuff. Probably a little of both.
and stuff

You can do that with SMP

The 5, funny mod is dished out to everyone when a microsoft cock up article is on, but when somebody dares to scorn linux, like the fact that debian uses the 2.0 kernel or the GUI sucks because of the filedialog and the lack of screen resoloution changing you get autmodded (almost as its like a script) -1, flamebait without ever explaining why.

I used to read, or at least skim, Linux Today pretty regularly. Then a few months ago they switched to that new layout with gigantic font sizes in a tiny band of text squeezed between a sidebar on the left and ads on the right. Maybe it's just my browser settings but I see it in Mac IE, OS X Mozilla and Konqueror.
It's crossed the "worth a glance" threshold for me now that each front page headline occupies a third of my screen space. And reading forum comments would burn out my PageDown key...

ALERT! We were hosed by Yahoo! over the weekend and can no longer send or receive email at bostoncitymob@yahoo.com We are also unable to moderate the bostoncitymob yahoo group and have no access to our Mob mailing list or our preparations for Mob #2. All emails to bostoncitymob@yahoo.com will receive an error. Sorry for the confusion, we still don't know what happened, we've lost our entire mailing list, and Yahoo! has been most unhelpful. We haven't checked the sky for black helicopters, but...

This past weekend, I attended a local Tractor Pull - http://www.oldhippy.org/Pull.html - in which one of the pulling classes was marked 'BFT'. When I asked on of the kids standing around what that meant, he replied with a straight face 'Big Farm Tractor'.
if you do not take direct action to destroy and or stop SCO cold Linux will die.
this is what i have just done today.
why don't you do something you stupid geeks or you will loose Linux.
1) i snail mailed my congress rep, senator, Governor, the doj, and the sec. and informed them of the threat that SCO is posing to Linux and that they are extorting the users.
2) i emailed every news company that i could think of and explained what SCO is doing.
3) i emailed everyone i know asking them to do the same.
if you as a Linux user do not do the following actions then you will be responsible for the destruction of Linux. only consolidated action will achieve any results posting on a BBS Will only help SCO in their attempt to destroy open-source.
All that is necessary for the forces of evil to win in the world is for enough good men to do nothing.
