SCO Says IBM is Beating Up on Them
SCO's McBride claims that IBM is stage-managing all the attacks and bad press, which would probably explain why I cleared this article with IBM World Headquarters before running it (not!). The publisher of Linux Journal invites SCO to sue. One of SCO's lawyers has this barely coherent interview where he spouts legal rubbish for a gullible reporter. There's an interview in German (machine translation) with SCO's execs. And finally, SCO is still hoping for a settlement with IBM. Update: 08/22 18:26 GMT by M : ESR responds.
I don't.
High school, junior year, got bullied (yes, it still happens then), guy got rammed into me, I was mad enough already (long story). Went ballistic. There were a bunch of bullies there. I went after the one, kicked him in the area, he slammed me into a wall and I went totally numb and lost control of my body for several seconds. Also, I was bleeding, and had to get staples in the back of my head.
A friend of mine wrote a letter to the local paper saying she was ashamed to be in the same class as those bullies.

and me mentioning it gets me moderated as a troll!
Please tell me that you are a girl.
Please tell me that you are retarded.
Guys who kick other guys in the nuts are not playing with a full deck themselves. I mean I had my sure of bullying and I through a couple of J's in defense but I would never go below the belt.
Then you've never been *really* bullied. I'm talking about people who make children's lives so miserable that some proportion commit suicide every year. A kick in the nuts is a fairly moderate response, and one that is absolutely under the bully's control. If you don't want a kick in the nuts, don't bully people who are physically less able than yourself.
I can remember when I was being bullied as a child. I had persistent fantasies about visiting the bully's house in the middle of the night with a can of petrol and a funnel. The plan was to toast the motherfucker in his bed at night -- and his parents and siblings along with him.
If I could have been certain that I'd have gotten away with it, I'm not at all sure that I wouldn't have gone for it at my lowest moments.
Incidentally, what's all this about throwing J's at your bullies? Did you think that if they smoked the J, they'd mellow out and stop hitting you? I can't see that working somehow.

Troll?! Here I sit with moderator points and try to use them wisely. I think I recognize most of the humor around here, but it dosen't seem that everyone with mod points even has a sense of humor or could even recognize one.
To the humor impaired moderator, please watch some Monty Python ( BBC shows are great) or maybe even read the Hitchhickers Guide to the Galaxy and watch Airplane. You will then be better prepared for your next encounter with this humor thing you've been hearing about...
Now I'm off to spend my points by elevating the good posts and ignoring the trolls.
