Top 10 Linus Quotes on SCO
An anonymous reader noted LinuxWorld running an entertaining little Top Ten SCO-related "Linusisms. If you're new to the story, you might find these insightful... but you're reading this site on a sunday, so you probably will find them more amusing than informative.
and even though my (and other people's) DNA is probably all over Linux.
Ewwww! Gross! TMI, Linus!
Anything worth doing is worth doing badly -- G.K. Chesterton
"Quite frankly, I found it mostly interesting in a Jerry Springer kind of way. White trash battling it out in public, throwing chairs at each other. SCO crying about IBM's other women. ... Fairly entertaining"
My wife and I watch Jerry Springer, and just the other day I said it reminded me of SCO. Coincidence? I think not.
Linus' 11th Quote:
"Who was smoking crack when they put my Top Ten SCO Barbs on a web server running SCO? Two comments and its already slashdotted!"
..Keep an eye on Freshmeat for the next day or so.
Bowie J. Poag
So . . . when he attacks the GPL as being somehow against 'financial gain', that notion that the GPL has of 'exchange of receipt of copyrighted works' is actually EXPLICITLY ENCODED in the US copyright law. It's not just a crazy idea that some lefty commie hippie dreamed up in a drug-induced stupor. (My emphasis.)
AHA! So you ADMIT that US copyright law was dreamed up by commies in drug-induced stupors (a.k.a. Hollywood/MPAA).
Irene KHAAAAAAN!
SCO at this point is like a ordering a pizza. Except, when the delivery guy gets to your door, he's forgotten the pizza, the 2-liter, the breadsticks, and the ticket. Instead of going back for the stuff though, he keeps banging on your door, threatening to call the cops if you don't pay up now. And he wants a tip. Or he is sooo keying your car. Watch him. He'll do it, damn it. He's crazy like that. Crazy baby. He'll do it man. He means it this time.........craaaaaaazy.......
Mod Points: Helping you keep your opinion to yourself.

Drop the lawsuit and we will stop picking on you.
drop your suit, however and we will expatriate you to Neverland.

I kept nodding my head in agreement as I read through these, and thinking, if it was Richard Stallman, I would have run across at least one that really bugged me by the end, but then it hit me:
Jerry Springer!
Let's see - Darl can sue for defamation for being compared to Springer. Springer can sue for being compared to Darl. Both can then sue each other for the comments each made over the first suit. None of the lawsuits will be worth a hill of beans, but that's no guarentee these days. Even if they don't, both could try to milk it for publicity a dozen other ways. (Can't you just see Jerry inviting Linus and Darl to appear together on his show? With a "supprise guest" claiming to be Darl's love-child/Linus's Stripper Ex-girlfriend?)
In legal matters, it's a good rule: Don't mention Jerry Springer, Rosanne Barr, Rush Limbaugh, Carmen Electra, Kato or Don Imus if they are not already involved.
Who is John Cabal?

It's not just a crazy idea that some lefty commie hippie dreamed up in a drug-induced stupor."
That's exactly the sort of logic some drugged up leftist commie-hippy would use!I'm looking California... but feeling Minnesota...
What they had at No. 3
"If Darl McBride was in charge, he'd probably make marriage unconstitutional too, since clearly it de-emphasizes the commercial nature of normal human interaction, and probably is a major impediment to the commercial growth of prostitution"
Speaking as a born-in-the-1960s leftie commie hippy, who has done some of his best coding in a drug-induced stupor, I must strenuously object to this slur. C'mon, Linus, just because you moved from Helsinki to Los Angeles, you don't have to let go of *all* your Euro-libertarian ideals. :-) )
(I seem to remember reading -- on one of your very own web pages -- that the original Linux kernel was fueled by quite a bit of beer, right? So let's not diss altered states of consciousness too quickly.
D'oh, where did I leave my asbestos underwear?!?
".. Alan Cox gets up, and tackles Zwane, who goes down in the mud. Oops. They were on the same side. I guess Alan got caught up in the rush. Jasper tries to take advantage of the situation, but slips in the mud, and goes down in a heap with Alexander..." :P
Definetly my favourite Linus quote
I was beginning to have DTs.
But now that I got my dose fo SCO I'm ok.
"SCO is claiming parenthood of that child and now wants to make money off the earnings of that child. Even though SCO has refused to undergo the technical equivalent of DNA testing, and even though my (and other people's) DNA is probably all over Linux."
Is Linux a child or a prostitute?
I guess the code really has matured and open source is taking on a whole new meaning.
--"It's Bradford Company, slash your last name, dot your first name"
"9. Custody Battle
"SCO is claiming parenthood of that child and now wants to make money off the earnings of that child. Even though SCO has refused to undergo the technical equivalent of DNA testing, and even though my (and other people's) DNA is probably all over Linux."
Yeah, I have to admit, I got a little excited when my Suse 9 professional DVD's arrived in the mail. I just couldn't help it.
Now, can someone help me find my razor? I can't seem to see all of a sudden and it's time to shave my palms again..
Did you write that post all by yourself?
... that Darl McBride is a seagull?
Infuriate left and right
I am surprised the list did not contain the quote from Linus "I allege that SCO is full of it"
My next sig will be ready soon, but subscribers can beat the rush
Just as I bought my Darl McBride quotes t-shirt!
You should add the following loop to make your function complete:
while($COURT_CASE != 'thrown_out') {
if($REQUEST['proof']) {
ignore_request();
}
}
We usually define ridiculous with an "i"?
Parent: "did you write this code yourself?"
You: "Did you write that post all by yourself?"
Now I see (why) you are an annonymous coward. Be a man and sign your post so we can find you and sue your ass. As you know, It does not matter to us that we did not post the original message.
Yours trully Darl & (s)Co.
The thought of this issue at trial makes me think of Monty Python's "How to Defend Yourself Against a Banana". (if you'll excuse the complete mangling of the original).
If Friday was any indication, the trial (if they ever get that far) is going to consist of 3 days of SCO whimpering about complex cases followed by 4 hours of IBM carefully disecting SCO's throat, while the judge asks where they got such a pretty knife.
Sometimes boldness is in fashion. Sometimes only the brave will be bold.
/me lights up pipe
I admire the consist usage of the non-alliterative form. What Ho!
I admire your always-renewed insistance on using pedantic expression on Slashdot, a well-known site for the poorly educated and the mentally disadventaged, despite the numerous, spectacular failures you seem to think of as funny posts.
In short, you're more boring than boring Boris McBored, winner of last year's Mister Boring competition.
As a long time crack smoker, I take great offensive in putting SCO
in the same league as my other crack smoking colleagues.
We may be high, but we still have standards.
