Did SCO Actually Buy What it Thought?
Int27h quotes The Age saying "Just before Christmas last year, Novell announced publicly that SCO had known for some time that it did not receive all rights and ownership to UNIX technologies, despite public statements to the contrary. Novell has made public correspondence between lawyers representing both Novell and SCO." Lots of links and commentary on what continues to be one of the strangest stories in the history of Linux.
Look people, if you're going to mod someone down as "Redundant" at least check the time of the previous post--if it's TWO MINUTES earlier, cut the kid some slack and find someone else to pick on.
I really hate that redundant mod--I can't believe that someone who actually reads /. would use it. Now, go mod parent back up. And leave me alone.

That's gotta fit into your schema somewhere
Down the road a here from me,
Where you lay down a dollar or two.

There's a jug full a good ol mountain dew!
chorus
They call it that old mountain dew,
And them that refuse it are few.
I'll hush up my mug if you'll fill up my jug
With that good old mountain dew!
Well my old Uncle Nort,
He was sawed off an short
Only measured bout five foot two.
But he felt like giant when he got him a pint
Of that good old mountain dew!
it goes on for a while like that. I recommend Flatt & Scruggs version, from their Live at Carnegie Hall album.
(Offtopic? What's that?)
mods are about the post not the poster
if it's redundant it's redundant
it's *only* karma
if you post for long enough you'll get excellent eventually

Well, that did the trick :-) Just for that, I'll make you a friend. There you go.

Why? modding isn't about picking on someone, this post is redundant and the point is mentioned elsewhere. So it should be modded down that way they don't both display. Whether the posters had good or bad intentions SHOULD NEVER be a factor in determining whether or not a post is redundant.
Wow, one brush, 300 million people.
And this tripe was modded "Insightful"? Try the exact opposite.
... the month goes second. Is more logical.
IANAL but write like a drunk one.
