SCO Gets More Desperate; Sends More Letters

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."

      Due to excessive bad posting from this IP or Subnet, comment posting has temporarily (permanently, if we could do it) been disabled. If it's you, consider this a chance to sit in the timeout corner. If it's someone else, this is a chance to hunt them down like with fuddle's phonIE ?pr? ?firm? bouNTy hunter scam. if you think this is unfair, we don't care.

    Hmm, I lost two mod points one right after another in a matter of seconds and now I can't even get comment moderation messages. Can't get metamoderation messages (I assume they don't work). Couldn't get moderation despite having excellent karma for quite some time (until now, now it's just good). Couldn't post with my +1 bonus either. I think michael might have it out for me, what do you think?

    On the topic of my parent post, I don't see how this is flamebait, it's the truth. Now, if I said that SCO was run by a bunch of assholes (which I do believe, by the way) because of what they're doing, and that we had to take action, that post would probably be moderated sky high despite being considered flamebait by whatever crazy criteria that was used to moderate this post down. It wouldn't be modded down though, nor should my parent post be. Yep, I'm telling you that there's bias around here, something that you should already know.

    Anyways, keep wasting your mod points on me. You won't keep me from being noticed nor will you keep me quiet. Rah Rah Rah!

    Pffft, Slashdot is not a news site.

    Then they should really change their slogan.

    Or, maybe they're using that RMS style of thinking. News as in opinions about information, not news as in information. Silly me.
