SCO Roundup

Posted by michael on from the yee-haa dept.

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.

    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.

      "SCO Stock Goes Up After SCOForum Code Revealed as Baloney... Does This Make Sense?"

      Hey, this gave me an idea. To really increase visibility of the whole case, maybe someone can get the Onion to do a feature article on it. Here's some suggested headlines:

      SCO to Sue God

      Darl McBride Caught in Bizarre Love Triangle With Bill Gates, Penguin

      Darl McBride to Rename Self Darth McBride, Builds Death Star

      SCO Accidentally Sues Self For 10 Billion

      Local Man Wonders What Is This SCO Shit

      SCO Enters Partnership With Gorzo the Mighty (subtitle: New Corporate Motto: "Seize Him!")

    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!

    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.

    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.

    There's a /. poll in there somewhere.
