Hurray!
As the Stomach Turns, so do the days of our SCO life!

Darl claims that Novell released the letters to them, and sues Novell for copyright violation.
I don't have time to read them now because I'm working, but now I have something extra to look forward to when I get home.
Novell, the enemy of the enemy of my enemy who is the enemy of my greater enemy, is my friend, I think.
Dear SCO,
Fuck you, your wives, and your bastard kids.

After the slashdotting novell receives today, they will know for sure that they have slashdot behind them 100% in the drawing, hanging and quartering of SCO.
Sue Goodwill does anybody else find that a funny name given the circumstances?
None of the Novell letters to Darl start with "Dear Mush-For-Brains;".
One line blog. I hear that they're called Twitters now.

Already did. You're next, penguin boy.
Love, Darl

Darl: Linux stole our stuff!
Novell: Where's your proof?
Darl: They did it, I saw 'em!
Novell: Where, show me...
Darl: It's over there!
[Novell turns around while Darl bolts out of the room]
So, uh, are you trying to say something about lawyers there?

I was going to comment that you had it all wrong, but that was before I looked up the definition.
Carry on.

...Novell should publicly revoke SCO's licene to Unix.
Holy shit, that would be interesting... and funny.

IMHO, of course.
May the SOURCE be with you.
"Hell IBM could produce a 5year old child that could write header file..."
And his name is Linux?
If the second half of that quote rolls off your tongue that easily, then I think you've been in IT management longer than engineering.
Dewey, what part of this looks like authorities should be involved?
I'd like to know how SCO can possibly claim others have infringed on their intellectual property when they've clearly shown that they have absolutely no intellect.
Actually, I believe Texas and Florida are perhaps the only two states that don't limit the value of the house protected by homestead. Which may partially explain why these states are popular places for executive-types to live in giant mansions.
You know what they should do is make a Unix Like operation system without using any of the Unix code and just freely release it under the GNU then we shouldnt have these problems any more... Oh Wait... Never mind.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
It all boils down to this:
SCO:We own you.
Novell: OMG STFU nUb
You are sheilded from loosing basic assets
What if you are walking past and some of these loosed assets fly toward you. I imagine a flying fridge could take your eye out!

>as soon as the poop hit the fan.

Actually, I think the phrase you were looking for was "when the fit hits the shan"....but hey, thats just me, you go right a head with your poop thing.
That licence... ... I don't think it means what you think it means.
Maybe we deserve this world ?
Well, I guess that depends on if you count lawyers *as* people.
I'd assume that most don't.

Ladies and gentlemen, today I would like to show you exactly what I mean. For Exhibit A, I would like to show the contents of /etc/hosts where you will clearly see our IP:
Exhibit B, the output of traceroute, where you clearly see that this 127.0.0.1 is SCO's IP, ZERO hops from our main...If you *really* want a chuckle, go to SCO's web site under "Jobs". The *only* software engineer job listed requires skills in .NET!!
How's that for understanding where their head is at?

You forgot to ask for money.

Am I the only one to notice that they didn't bother blurring out Darl's address in those letters?
This is a great opportunity to send 1 billion AOL CD's to Darl's office.
Just surf to www.AOL.com and click "Request AOL CD", then type in Darl's Address:
Mr. Darl McBride
President and CEO
