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."

    Am I the only one who thinks SCO is like the fat dwarf in LoTR (I know he had a name, but for me he's just the "fat dwarf"), placed into the scene only to be the butt of lots of jokes?

    It looks to me like all these folks running a scummx server would be more inclined to jump ship now more than ever. Hell even if it meant going to microshaft. Maybe that is the point of all this. Then darly mcLied and scummx get the big payoff from billy boy gates. I know if I had a sco unix server and they sent me a letter like that I would migrate as fast as I could away from sco.

    Ok, you say "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."

    Hey, why not report on "stuff that matters" rather than attacking people with different views?

    Sound farfetched? It isn't. Once you've made a crack in the first amendment (Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech...), it's easier to use crowbars to widen it than it was to make the crack in the first place...

    This message is not spam. I just want to sell you secret Dow Chemical documents showing how to make nuclear weapons from FIRE! Our documents can even raise the dead. But I can't tell you thanks to our F*#k F*#kity F*#kpoo president, who is a gay homosexual. Therefore, we should all revolt, smashing the McDonalds store windows and killing all passers-by. The jurors will be properly informed that they can judge the law as well as the accused, and we can all go home to write our child pornography
