    I went to news.google.com to search for the google partner link, but "IBM lawsuit" turned up all this shit about some company called SCO. Who are they, anyway? They say they've got some sort of Unix, but I've never seen or even heard of anyone who runs it.

    Must be some two-bit company...wonder why they're getting so much press.

    Go into hardware, die from nasty production chemicals

    Go into software, die from a Doritos or Mountain Dew overdose.

    Either way, you're screwed
