SCO Roundup
Time to clear out the bin of the taint of SCO, hopefully we haven't posted these already... The Economist has a piece titled Face Value -- Of Monkeys and Penguins. The EFF is pushing an email campaign about SCO. An anonymous reader submits this completely unverified claim that SCO needs to change the password on their mail server: sco.txt. And another reader presents a theory about SCO's stock performance.
...should be McBride's mantra.
Why do users with IDs under 100,000 or over 700,000 usually have the most worthwhile comments?
"SCO Stock Goes Up After SCOForum Code Revealed as Baloney... Does This Make Sense?"
No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense.
If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.
Has it been commented upon since?
I think paragraph 141 has too many numbers in it.
There, does that count?

Uh, would you believe that the extra "e" is for "evolution"?
Sorry to point this out, but it's spelled D-A-I-L-Y ;)

Yeah, I'll believe that "sco.txt" link when SCO releases every last one of those allegedly misappropriated snippets of code to the LKML.
Well, I take that back. I wouldn't be surprised if SCO released that themselves in the hopes that they could catch a OpenSource supporter breaking into their server...
You know you have to watch out for them sneaky commie bastards!
But I did think that the articles were pretty well written. They were not polarized and edgy(as I would have written it...something along the lines of 'those lying cheating @#$% call my @#$# code @#$@theirs??'.
I also, just for kicks, tried to telnet into the mail.sco.com server. No luck. They don't accept telnet links. That would have been fun ehh?
At first I didn't think they were up, still DDoS...but I was able to ping them. Ping Ping Ping. I only did it once, but I'll bet you guys could ping them too...just to make sure they were still up of course. Purely curiosity.
Who is this that even the wind and the waves obey Him? Surely this computer must submit also!
I read that as "it is time to clean the taint of sco"
yup. bedtime. I swear I haven't been watching porno.

Interestingly, the economist article says that Darl is a devour mormon. Don't they have a bible that some guy allegedly dictated from behind a wall? Doesn't it infringe the trade "secrets" of the normal bible in some ways?
What "secrets" are you talking about?

I thought I was going to have to go Cold turkey. I was starting to get delerious from SCO story withdrawals.
Yes I can't spell and often leave out whole words let alone the endings of words. Some place I lost 20 IQ points. I am only a slightly above average 120 now. maybe I should have some more to drink.
As you can see I don't care about my karma.
Unfortunately, the Slashdot editors always seem to forget to verify that there's a link to the SCO website somewhere in the stories. Does anobody knows what their URL is ? I'm Google-impaired and it would help me a lot to go and buy a Linux license for my Debian box. Thank you guys.
*wakes up* AAAAAAAAAAH ! What the hell was THAT ?!

I've created a random comment generator for stories about SCO, with Slashdot in mind. All you geeks with no ability to write +5 Funny articles, here's your savior. Have fun!

Damn it, I swear I read this as:
All as it takes is one sanguine penguin to turn the tide...
And this bizarre mental image of a sanguine penguin explaining to Mr Gerstner what the future looked like and why it involved lots of ice and fish.

Ok, I'm not an economist, but am I the only one thinking SCO's business plan looks something like:
1. ???
2. ???
3. Profit!
?
Seriously, when I saw the title, SCO Roundup, my first thought was that somebody rounded up all the SCO executives and were now patiently waiting for someone else to come up with a suitable way of disposing of them.
/. poll in there somewhere.

Nah, they'll just leave the server down for the weekend. It's cheaper than paying overtime for a tech. They need the money for lawyers.
If they even know they've been cracked.
Do you know what "6X7liA1zmJhyA" means? I have a Czech dictionary, but I douldn't find that word in there.

They will leave the server down for the weekend not due to cost issues, but due to PR issues. They want as much PR as they can get.
Tuesday, September 2, 2003.
At SCO headquarters this morning, SCO's CEO Darl McBride was quoted as saying: "Those evil hackers are still attacking SCO's superior Unix servers!". He then added "...and it's all IBM's fault!" "We know that IBM is behind this whole affair, including our poor security. We have evidence that proves it -- but we can't show it to anyone."
"If we were to prove that IBM were behind the attacks on SCO, then the attacks would stop."
The price of freedom is eternal litigation.

The Slashdotting will continue until the DDOS improves.
