SCO Wants to License Europe

MacEnvy writes "It looks like SCO isn't letting up - they've decided to expand their war on Linux to other countries. According to Internet Week, the company will be offering its Intellectual Property License in the UK and other European countries starting February 1. Whether Europeans will buy the licenses has yet to be seen." Motley Fool has chipped in on SCO's chances.

  2. Scottish law: When McDonald's sued McDonald by MichaelCrawford · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    My father, proud of his scottish heritage (we're Crawfords, part of Clan Lindsay) told me this story:

    The chieftan of Clan McDonald owns a restaurant named McDonald's, located somewhere in Scotland.

    When the American fast food chain of the same name sued him for trademark infringement, the chieftan threatened to forbid the fast food chain from doing business in Scotland.

    After checking with its attorneys, the fast food chain quickly dropped its case.

    If I remember, Hitler got delayed by Mussolini, had to help him clean up in the disastrous invasion of Ethiopia. This caused the timetable to be screwed up, putting part of the invasion into the winter.

    Heh. Not to mention that for a long time during the rule of Louis XIV, France had the most powerful military in the world. And then there was Napoleon, of course.

    The only licensing fee is your word that you will no longer take showers.

    Greece actually. And modern research (no link handy) suggests they weren't going to attack in May anyway.

    I have an outline of a business strategy book that uses Hitler's invasion of the USSR as an overarching counterexample. I suppose the biggest lesson would be: don't follow a man in the throws of methamphetamine psychosis any further than the corner store, and bring anything he says you won't need.

    It's good! Our women are prettier

    Pretty ugly you mean. I can't even tell a German woman from a man without a full physical. Same for a French woman and a gorilla. Dudes, get your bitches to shave their damn pits. Savages.
    ----------
    I'd have to give the point to the European here. From what little time I've spent in Europe (mostly Amsterdam and Paris) I've noticed that the women are very hot. It helps that people there don't eat as much. There are many of women in the US that would be very good looking if they'd ease up on the pizza...
