SCO's Roadshow Coming Soon

AndyFewt writes "TheRegister has an article on the latest form of SCO FUD, their Roadshow. Funded by HP and kicking off on Oct. 7, SCO users throughout the U.S. and Canada can get their chance to go show Darl just how much they "love" SCO. But of course, Linux users are free to attend."

    Yeah, Linux users may attend free, but then on their way out Darl will try to charge them $699, claiming that somebody else gave away the admission...

    Are we going to see a cream pie in Darl's face?

    It seems like the traditional response...

    If you bring your copy of Linux will they tell you what they think it's worth?

      SCO Roadshow guy: Hmmmm.... Red Hat... 6.3... That was a good year... yes... I'd say this is worth about -$699.95 to you.

    Are we going to let HP think that it's okay to back SCO.

    I sure am. I think it would be cool if Compaq tech support started answering their phones like this:
    "HP Compaq Tech support, a tiny division of a Big Blue Monolith. How can I help you?"

    I consider organizing a good old-fashioned pitchfork-and-torches party, stay tuned for more information.

    I've been stockpiling torches and pitchforks just in case an angry mob was needed. Looks like I might get a chance to use them.

    It's time we stop documenting every breath Daryl & Co. make

    Agreed. Unless it's the last breath, I'd really like to know about that one. And soon.

  11. How To Futz With The Roadshow by FrankDrebin · · Score: 5, Funny

    The roadshow starts in Toronto then moves to Boston. One quick phone call to US Customs from Toronto concerning a new extremist splinter group calling themselves Secret-Comdrades-of-Osama (SCO) ought to end the whole fuss immediately.
