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.
Pure comedy gold! The scary thing is that it even sounds like something Darl would do!
Didn't someone post a link to a T-shirt with quote #3 on it on GrokLaw?

That's one of my favorite quotes.
I'm pretty sure McBride saw it coming from everybody else except Linus.
A news post I read recently in regards to this best summed it up: SCO is stating BSD, Linux and IBM are using its code. BSD is just recently been targeted, Linux is saying bring it on, and IBM wants to know what the heck SCO is talking about.
Which brings me to my next point:
"Don't smoke crack"
My Thoughts, Kyndig
Apparently you've missed all of the real gems aimed squarely in either his or our direction from the SCO execs. (There are only two industries that have users, computers and drugs).
Think before you speak.
Anyone have a good collection of Linus quotes in a fortune file?
the growth in cynicism and rebellion has not been without cause
That is the chance you take when you value freedom over Iron-fisted government rule.
/. is majority leftward leaning, you'd think they'd be more in tune with a less powerful government. but they're not. the big issue that has everyone here hating bush is the war, but guys like dean are running around talking about how they're gonna re-regulate this and that, etc. You want nationalized health care, you can really say goodbye to privacy there. we don't value freedom anymore. c'mon, a "conservative" president passes the largest entitlement program since the 60's, which will pass 500 billion to 1 trillion dollars of mandated expenditures on the next generation, and we're supposed to be abotu freedom. no, people aren't taking chances any mroe with freedom. our legal system is living proof. for instance, even if a drug is FDA approved, you can still sue them if does bad things. not if they lied, not if they fabricated data, nothing. it didn't work, it might have had bad side effects, etc. yet, they can still be liable. (and we wonder why drugs are so expensive!!)
not quite. if we valued "freedom", then we wouldn't ahve all sorts of things like min. wage laws, mandatory health benefits, anti-discrimination laws, welfare, soc. security, etc. in fact, we wouldn't have the legal lottery system that we have now. our system (legal) is the exact opposite of a "free" one. de Tocquville said (paraphrasing here) that the republic will be over when the people discover they can vote themselves money. the problem is that we as a society don't value freedom enough. we are more than willing to have government at all levels do those things that they have no business doing. this is a pattern on both thte right, but even more the left. since
My problem? I was perfectly gruntled, until some numbnuts came by and dissed me.
And with Russia so close to Finland, I would guess russian isn't complete gobbledygook to him either.
Thats one hell of an assumption. Mexico and Canada are right next to the US, but most Americans don't speak Spanish or French. I understand someone who is German understanding some Flemish (Belgium) but there are more than a few languages spoken in Russia alone.
Thats kinda like how everyone assumes that in Brazil, they speak spanish, because most of the countries around them speak spanish. But they don't. And while there are SOME similarities in Portugese and Spanish, I can assure you that most of my Portugese speaking friends don't speak Spanish.
Oh yea, and Russia is right next to the USA, as well. Parts of Russia are actually just NORTH of parts of Alaska. But I don't speak any Russian dialects.
Obligatory Simpson Quote: Spanish and Italian are the same language. (Mr. X episode).

"With the US legal system, it's always hard to tell what the hell is going to happen," Torvalds says. "So I can't just dismiss the lawsuit as the complete crapola I think it is."
