SCO Gets More Desperate; Sends More Letters

Posted by michael on from the pyramid-scheme-coming-down-around-their-ears dept.

isn't my name writes "The New York Times is reporting that SCO has sent new letters to Linux-using businesses with specific examples of infringement. SCO has its fiscal earnings call scheduled tomorrow at 11am. In all probability, these letters are designed to get analyst/reporter interest focused on their claims instead of the numerous fundamental problems with their case. So, slashdotters, we need to find a copy of the letter and tear it apart with specificity before tomorrow morning in the US East Coast, so that any analysts/reporters will not be distracted."

    SCO sends out Christmas cards? Does SCO stand for Santa Claus Operation?

    Everyone from Slashdot needs to buy SCO stock. But all at the same time as to not pay inflated prices. Now let's just say that all the Slashdot users put a few hundred dollars into SCO stock. Then we all co-ordinate to sell the stock at the now inflated price (once again at the same time). Not only will we all gain a few bucks from SCO but we may drive the share price down. Win-Win situation. (Oh and if this is illegal please tell me so I can spend the profit BEFORE my arrest)

      So what you're saying is basically that we should Slashdot the stock market. Wouldn't that be considered a DDOS on capitalism itself?

    Actually, SCO is more like gollum. It's pathetic, corrupted, and still capable of doing some evil and cause harm.. but it is rotten and will not live much longer, and he may yet have some part to play in all this before the end :)

    Sorry to have to ask, but what's IANEAP?

    I Am Now Eating A Pie.

    I'm not sure why the orignal poster felt the need to inform us of his diet though.

    IANEAP - I am not even a paralegal. I believe the person at Groklaw (Pamela Jones) is currently employed in this supporting role within the legal profession. IANEAPBMSI (but my sister is).

    Is customer the right word? Perhaps a better word would be remainder.
