Slashdot Mirror
SCO - EV1, Licensees, Groklaw, Armed Guards
Camel Pilot writes "It looks like the CEO of EV1Servers underestimated the reaction to giving in to SCO demands and licensing Linux. I know we were looking for a new hosting home, and had EV1 at the top of the list, but now they are not even a consideration..."
An anonymous reader writes "InfoWorld has an article with more info on Computer Associates denying being a SCO Linux licensee." Also, Mick Ohrberg writes "Pamela Jones, creator of Groklaw, an independent legal research site, responds to some allegations presented by SCO CEO Darl McBride." Finally, an anonymous reader writes "According to the Deseret News, Darl McBride says he sometimes carries a gun because his enemies are out to kill him. He checks into hotels under assumed names. An armed body guard protected him at Harvard Law School when he gave a speech last month." Update: 03/08 20:17 GMT by S : cdlu writes "Now the SEC is unofficially confirming some interest in the SCO and Microsoft connection, according to Newsforge [part of OSDN, like this site]."
in carrying a gun. after all, is not paranoia if the open source community is really after you.
What ? Me, worry ?
This type of action itself does not reflect poorly upon our community (kudos for clean phrasing, btw), but once the trolls get ahold of it and DoS the guy, we will come off poorly in the media.
Stay the course. Let the law do it's thing. Mod parent down quickly to minimize the community's exposure.

So while your Swedish, or whatever your second language is, is flawless, you're not smart enough to extract the information from what I wrote?
The best way to spot idiots on slashdot is to look for people who complain about spelling and grammar in posts by "non-natives", but never feel they have anything worthwhile to comment on the contents of the same.
Belief is the currency of delusion.
SCO's success hinges on making people feel sorry for them.
In other words, SCO is the computer equivalent of Palestinians. Replace suicide bombings with suicide press releases, and SCO has a lot in common with them.
Yeah, nothing similar at all.
The point is pot is villianized when it shouldn't be
No, the point is you are trying to get a valid message across using an invalid argument. That rarely works unless your demo it tight proof, which it isn't.
Get your numbers straight, review the whole thing and try again. Or just drop it.
Do you think a lot of people on slashdot doesn't know that pot is less dangerous than cigarette or alcohol? Dude, the point has been made for a long time. The fact that it isn't legal is political and nothing else. Statistics won't help.
Write boring code, not shiny code!
Wow, are some of your posts and links so out there.
Lets see where you are wrong.
Men are called to go on missions, women can go if they want too.
Both sexes hold positions in the church. Only the males hole the prestood and such.
Black people where always allowed into the LDS church, just couldn't have the prestood till 1970's. Something to do with not being very public opinion.
There was never multiple men to one woman. It was 1 man for multiple wives, just like the bible. It was only a vew who praticed this. It is a touchy subject because most people people only know that there was a short amount of time where it was needed. It was dropped once USA made it illegal. One could see the fact that mormons where hunted and there was few men, and many single/widowed women.
And yes, everything in the temple is documented. You seem to be a rather hatefull person of this church.
Also note, that there are some racist people everywhere. From all races.
At no time did the leadership ever say black people had the mark of Cain. Infact they said otherwise to help stop some rumors way back when. This has been one church that has always taught love everyone, even peoipel who hate you, belive something in else, or look different.
btw, I don't think it is right to be calling me mormon/lds/etc. Because, well, I'm not one atm.
The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive
I suspect you're right about the technical difficulties about converting an "assult style" weapon to fully automatic.
What does bug me, is the NRA claiming that virtually ANY weapon is legal under nearly any conditions. I don't own a gun, and probably never will, but I do respect your liberty to own one.
What bugs me most is that the NRA doesn't seem able to accept any reasonable restrictions on any firearm. Gun show loopholes are huge and ought to be closed. "Street-sweeper" drum fed shotguns don't have any real legitimate purpose. It seems the NRA (and like supporters) can't see or accept any middle-ground that might eliminate weapons or practices that are clearly taking people's lives. (Such as the small percentage of gun shops that sell guns to the large percentage of people who commit crimes. [The 80/20 rule.])
Accept and *promote* some real curbs on the abuses, and people like me would be lots more willing to take your side and protect your right. When it's just outrageous in it's protect every square millimeter at every cost, be dammed the cost, you lose the support that I'd be glad to give in votes etc.
(Rant off)
Cheers,
