SCO DOS Harming Innocent Bystanders

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the scoop-of-sco-every-day dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The SCO-IBM-Linux controversy has certainly caused quite a stir. Unfortunately the vigilantes conducting the DOS attacks against SCO are harming innocent by-standers as described in this e-Week story. " Choice conspiracy theory quote: 'Given SCO's behavior recently, it's just as likely that they're attacking themselves in their continued attempt to pump up their stock price'

  1. DOS too? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    Oh, as if the UNIX scandal wasn't bad enough... now they are after DOS as well!!!

  2. Maybe it's a subtle plan by lgordon · · Score: 5, Funny

    Perhaps SCO placed the alleged IP infringing code into the linux kernel themselves. Maybe the code contains a timebomb so as to cause a distributed denial of service attack against SCO, giving them more publicity. I wonder when the Underpants Gnomes are going to sue SCO for patent infringement for their unique business model...

    So much for trying to be funny...

  3. The Fault of the Apache Server by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well, if their server had been running proper licensed SCO code then it would not only have survived the continual DoS, but would have shot down the attacking machines in droves...

    ...but no, they just want to demonstrate how crap Apache & Linux is, especially since it is stolen perversion of all of SCO's IP. And what an effective demonstaration it is, why that must be propping up the stock value by about 99%
