SCO Ordered to Produce Evidence
harmless_mammal and others wrote in with news from the SCO-IBM hearing in Utah today - apparently the judge has ordered SCO to respond to IBM's discovery requests within 30 days. IBM is asking SCO to tell IBM precisely what code it is alleging is infringing, and to date SCO has failed to show any evidence whatsoever. Some reports from the hearing are at Groklaw, which is already slow under the load. If SCO continues to fail to produce the evidence they've claimed they have, the judge will likely be very displeased, perhaps dismissing the lawsuit entirely.
You know you have a popular site when you are Slashdotted even before your story hits /.
They better be careful or SCO may sue the judge.
Each side has spent bucketloads of money and all the judge could come up with so far is "Shit or get off the pot."
Fabulous.
Trolling is a art,

cout "Hello world!";

Never criticize religion on Slashdot. You will be modded down for "Troll" no matter how factual it is.
No, please! Don't end it! With the dramatic increase of SCO stories as of late, it would be worse than caffeine withdrawal if we didn't have at LEAST 3 SCO stories a day here.
As Cartman would say, " I'll Roshambeaux you for it!"

If you don't watch South Park, you won't get it. IBM just claimed the right of first kick.

And what about /.? What are we to do without SCO? Go back to Microsoft bashing? Too easy. Troll about Natalie Portman and hot grits? Too two weeks ago, man.
And what about Groklaw? Who will /. them if not us trying to see the latest SCO foolishness!
Just stop it, right now!
and then KICK THEM IN THE NUTS

Peter Mayhew, actor best known for his role as Chewbacca in Star Wars, the Empire Strikes back and Return of the Jedi has stated that he has been asked to reprise his famous role by a Utah Based Software Company. Details at this time are scetchy but Mayhew did comment that "I'm delighted to return as Chewbacca, Chewbacca lived with with Ewoks on Endor, I know it doesn't make any sense".

IBM: "Show me!"
Darl McBride: "No! What are you going to do about it? Huh?"
IBM: "I'll make you, you little punk."
Darl McBride: "Oh yeah? You touch me and I'll get my big brother after you."
The surprise isn't how often we make bad choices; the surprise is how seldom they defeat us.
There's way too much penis imagery on this site. Particularly when it's coming from a crowd whose scrotum is almost always nestled on the soft padding of a swivel desk chair.
Oh well, have to go back to Microsoft bashing now....
wanted: one clever sig,apply within
I'm sure they'll produce something. They'll prolly go as far as to charge the court a fee of $599 per copy. :)
It could have been worse. SCO could have been represented by Darl's other brother Darl.

The perverse and atheistic ideology on which this evil is based, called GPL by its fanatical supporters, threatens democracy and freedom throughout the world. It is no less dangerous than the Baathist insurgency threatening our civilizing mission in Iraq.
More insidiously, it is currently being used to develop WMD's throughout the world , notably in The People's Republic of China that sinister paragon of evil, which incidentally we should now add to the axis of evil, now that Iraq has been bumped off the list, and you need to keep the number at 3.
As part of the war on terrorism, therefore, I urge you actively to pursue a crusade against this unrelenting cancer which threatens us all.

And then Red Hat outflanks SCO and plunders and pillages them.
Well, duh! According to SCO, RH is a bunch of pirates. What else do pirates do?

Here's a better one:

I am just imagining 40 apache assault fighters with IBM logos on each side, in attack formation, piloted by lawyers dressed "ala" agent Smith quietly traveling to SCO headquarters. All this with the "Ride of the Valkyries" playing in background.
Feels great!

After investing billions of dollars into researching the theft of its intellectual property, SCO produces the following source code in court:
}
According to The SCO Group's respectable CEO, Mr. Darl McBride, one million of the above lines were found in various source code files pertaining to Microsoft Windows XP, proving that the Linux community did, in fact, steal one million lines of valuable SCO intellectual property.
Mr. McBride had this to say about his discovery:
