EV1 Servers CEO Responds To Customers

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the this-can't-be-good dept.

Retalin writes "EV1 CEO Robert Marsh gave his customer base a written explanation for the purchase of his decision to purchase a SCO License late last night. The most interesting quote was this: "It has been argued by a Linux Journal reporter that I have essentially called the various GPL Linux developers plaugerists. This is false as I would never make such a claim against them. They are some of the brightest minds for whom I hold a great deal of respect.""

    I'd love to do my bit for karma whoring, but it seems the server is already burning. Don't tell me it is because you are all reading the article...

    What's the use of a hosting company that crumbles at the first sight of a slashdotting anyway?

      I did do my bit for Karmah horing.

      It just so happens I was browsing on that page BEOFRE the article was posted.

      I intended to click the "post as AC" button, but merely forgot.

      Ah well, please forgive my whoreness 8:)

    If Linux sinks we can at least still play Rumours have it Half-Life 2 and Doom 3 may run on Linux.

    nVidia NV40, coming soon, will be 6 times fast in HL2 and 4 times faster in Doom 3 than any current nVidia hardware

    Let us see them run that on any SCO crap.

    Elegy For *BSD

    I am a *BSD user
    and I try hard to be brave
    That is a tall order
    *BSD's foot is in the grave.

    I tap at my toy keyboard
    and whistle a happy tune
    but keeping happy's so hard,
    *BSD died so soon.

    Each day I wake and softly sob
    Nightfall finds me crying
    Not only am I a zit faced slob
    but *BSD is dying.

  8. Why trust a company that doesn't know how to spell by dtperik · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I started to read the article, and the 9th word is spelled wrong. You'd think they were posting to /. I guess it shows how brilliant they are. First wasting $ on SCO (and funding their illigetimate legal tirade in the process), then throw out an explanation that has a simple spelling error in the first few words. My suggestion .... run,... run away as fast as you can.

    P.S. If there are spelling errors in my submission, remember, this is /., and I wouldn't want to ruin the mood by proofreading ;-).
