MS Word File Reveals Changes to SCO's Plans

jfruhlinger writes "Ah, the joys of 'track changes' in MS Word: metadata in a document obtained by Cnet reveals some earlier plans by SCO's legal team. Among them: to sue in February (their original target date), to sue Bank of America, to 'impound ... all Linux software products in the custody or control of Defendant through the pendency of these proceedings', and to accuse in court 'Linus Torvalds and/or others' of 'inclusion into one or more distributions of Linux with the copyright management information intentionally removed.' Good stuff." Also, SCO has announced a few new licensees including Computer Associates.

You're posting anonymously because:
I'm a teaching assistant (TA) at Harvard who grades students' code to support my graduate studies.

(A) Your a pretentious fuck.
(B) You are lying and you don't want anyone to check out your credentials.
(C) Both All the the above.

If you're not lying you come off as a rediculous pompous prick. If you are a harvard grad then please support the conclusions with some facts instead of your bullshit statements you've spewed on this page.

Go ahead and Troll mod me. I deserve it but I had to reply to this one.

Thats strange

I just opened a few word documents i have on my computer and apparently i have this option to track changes turned off by default. What kind of moron would turn on such a feature? Im pretty sure i didn't turn it off, and had forgotten the feature had existed until this article.

Oh well sucks to be stupid like SCO. How many stupid things have they done now? I don't think i can count it on both hands anymore.

typcial m$ response

rather than address the root of an issue (buggy software that crashes alot) m$ would rather write swiss cheese and sell it (software that recovers well from its many crashes). of course, this leads to bloat.

i'm sure there's recipies for pasta, and other monstrosities buried in that zillion lines of winbloze code. but at least it recovers from all those crashes.
