Eric Raymond's Homebrew SCO Poison

What Can You Expect From A University Named "UH?" writes "Eric S. Raymond responds to Darl McBride's charge that he's drinking IBM's Kool-Aid in SCO's fight against Linux. The main thrust: Yes, there is an alliance against SCO, but, like the Open Source movement itself, it arises from lots of folks spontaneously striving for a common goal. 'It's beyond me how [you] can have the gall to talk as though we need funding or marching orders from IBM to mobilize against you. IBM couldn't stop us from mobilizing!' "

When to Shoot a Policeman, the last story on the page.

Yes, he is being extremist here, but it's scary that he flaunts these kinds of fantasies. From reading his "armedndangerous" site, he comes across as a lunatic just looking and waiting for an excuse to get to shoot someone. When he goes fully crazy and starts gunning people down in the SCO offices, we'll have his blog to look back on and wonder "Why the hell didn't we see this coming?"
