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.
FP!
Ehm...
The huge dragon, the ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, who deceived the whole world, was thrown down to earth, and its angels were thrown down with it. Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: "Now have salvation and power come, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Anointed. For the accuser 10 of our brothers is cast out, who accuses them before our God day and night. They conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; love for life did not deter them from death. Therefore, rejoice, you heavens, and you who dwell in them. But woe to you, earth and sea, for the Devil has come down to you in great fury, for he knows he has but a short time."
(guess who plays satan...)
My Stack Overflow user
I'd like to propose a new feature for when slashdot is retooled with the most current web standards. Some have proposed a feature to eliminate dupes, but here is a better idea. In the future, when the same story is posted two or three times in a day then the comments from the last story should be duped along with the story. This would save not only time, but also bandwidth.
That's a negative on the FP...

Why is it you can put accented characters in sigs, but not in posts?
Your sig:
I have discovered a truly marvelous sig, unfortunately the sig limit is too small to contain i

I'm a nerd. It matters.
there is too much SCO coverage in the main section
That's three stories today. Now, I realize the last two appear to be significant developments, but they're not. IANAL -- but I don't think the folks approving these stories are, either. Even I know enough about the discovery process to say that you can't cover every tiny, tiny development in it. You just can't.
Crazy idea: moderation system for topics?
Post that on comp.lang.c++ and read the replies then!

I've been surprised at the number of people who got that joke. I didn't know so many people watched Newhart.

No, Kazaa has seriously damaged RIAA's business, taking money out of their pockets. RIAA needs to make an example out of them, preferably getting the Courts involved. You DON'T want to send the signal that "playing the download lottery" has no downside; that would only encourage other slimey types with no respect for copyrights to attempt simular tactics. Oh, and if RIAA is anything like Intel, their lawyers get paid the same regardless of whether or not they crush Kazaa into greasy pink pancakes, so letting Kazaa off easy won't save RIAA any money.
Disclaimer: I hate the RIAA and haven't bought a CD in years, and their current legal strategy smacks of Pure Evil, but I just had to say this. Call me a troll, brand me as flamebait, but the Slashdot crowd sure wants to have its cake and eat it, too.

Well, for all you know it was only three people (so far).
