The Real Reason why Spirit Only Sees Red

use_compress writes To produce a color photograph, the rover's panoramic camera takes three black-and-white images of a scene, once with a red filter, once with a green filter and once with a blue filter. Each is then tinted with the color of the filter, and the three are combined into a color image. In assembling the Spirit photographs, however, the scientists used an image taken with an infrared filter, not the red filter (NYTimes, Free Registration Required). Some blue pigments like the cobalt in the rover color chip also emit this longer-wavelength light, which is not visible to the human eye."

From the 2/6 transcript, SCO v IBM

Directly from the transcript - things don't seem to be going to well for IBM, do they, Linux kooks?

THE COURT - Mr Marriott, my question for you is, do you acknowledge or not acknowledge that S.C.O. is in substantial compliance with the previous order?

MR MARRIOTT - Well, that is a very hard question, your Honor -

THE COURT - Mr Marriott, IBM has had ample time to analyze S.C.O.'s response - are you telling me that IBM has again failed to do its homework?

Hey, that's just a total lie. Here's the real transcript:

THE COURT: Mr. Marriott, my question for you is, do you acknowledge or not acknowledge that S.C.O. is in substantial compliance with the previous order?

MR. MARRIOTT: Well, that is a very hard question, Your Honor. We were provided with a lot of documents and we were given certainly a lot more specificity than we had been provided previously.

The difficulty is that since in our judgment without getting to the merits, but in our judgment the question here is whether the code they say we have dumped into Linux can be linked to Unix System Five. They have a different view. We won't argue the merits of that. Certainly we are entitled to discovery as to whether that is the case. I would refer Your Honor to our interrogatory numbers one, two, four, six, nine and 13.

In one we ask for confidential information misused. In two we ask for the nature and the source of the rights. In four we ask for the manner of misuse. In six the origin of the code and the products upon which it is based. I mean, the list goes on, Your Honor. One of which, in fact, 12 asks specifically whether the code was derived from Unix System Five. So whether or not we have the same view on the merits as S.C.O. as to the contracts, which clearly we do not, certainly we are entitled to discovery as to our understanding of the way the contract works. We have clearly asked for that. This is a case that to my mind is about whether Unix System Five in one fashion or another, either directly or because some derivative of it has been dumped into Linux has been adequately provided and we don't have that.

To be asked when they have given us a lot, Your Honor, it is --

THE COURT: Maybe that is a determination for me and not for you.

Do you have anything else on this?

MR. MARRIOTT: I do not, Your Honor.

THE COURT: Thank you.

I will take that under advisement, but let's go forward now on the issue of S.C.O. 's motion for discovery from I.B.M.
