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]."
Snore.
Lets see... one guy pisses off a buncha nerds. He's afraid of firepower?
Guess that they weren't fucking around when they called them zealots?
Until Slashdot fixes the funny modifier, use insightful or interesting. The poster knows your intentions.
Cannabis is not dope, less harmfull than alcohol. Bet Darl would have been much more chilled if he smoked some, but he is probably on coke the arrogant fuck.
It's understandable why people would want to kill him, and I hope that he eventually gets brutally murdered.
I guess you shouldn't fuck with people who can fuck with you right back.
I wonder if there will be a mod for DNF that has alien bastards with SO logos on their shirts?
Why is this such a big deal? Plenty of Americans (Myself included) carry a firearm on a regular basis. Few will tell you its because they feel that some specific group is likely to attack them. It's like an airbag. You never know when you might need it, and you hope you never do, but you'd much rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. I'd like to see the quote that led the author of the article to believe he specifically carries a gun because he's afraid that some stretched out script kiddie is going to try to be a hero to his pseudo-society and take out the CEO of the new evil empire. So he carries a gun. Big deal. A lot of people do. How is this newsworthy? Oh yeah... because according to Hollywood, only cops and bad guys carry guns... and he's not a cop, so... He MUST be a bad guy!
Darl's just a bit confused. He's the head of SCO, and he thought "Shootup Crack Operation" referred to bullets and it won't be long until he finds the hypodermic, then he'll be the old Darl we know and love.

This SCO stuff has been on bugging me for months. Now I know my servers are licensed and protected. I love EV1, and I'm very happy they did this for me as a customer.
> Darl is now a paranoid litigous bastard
And maybe he should! ESR has more and bigger guns!

The contract says that they only to SCO non-damaging way for them to be late with this particular filing is during a SEC investigation. Someone else should post the details since I'm a little fuzzy on those...
About as fuzzy as you are on sentence structure.

Let's give them a nice slashdot welcome!
The chick on the homepage is kind of cute. I wonder if she knows she's being exploited by SCO to make their image more "down home, cutie". Lol, those dirty bastards.
Nevermind sniping.
The much maligned M16 can be used to kill enemies 500 yards away or more. That's what you can do with a mediocre sniper rifle. If someone really wanted to kill Darl, Darl would never see it coming. His gunslingers can't stop it or even hunt down those responsible (if they know what they're doing).
Darl's kidding himself if he thinks that he can prevent assassination if he's really pissed people off that much.
A Pirate and a Puritan look the same on a balance sheet.
OK, i'll bite on this uninformed flamebait.
First point - ad hominem attacks are among the weakest arguments you can make. Accusing Darl of being a Scientologist, Chicken Lover, or a (gasp!) many-wived, behorned mormom all fall under the ad hominem label.
Second point - generalities are often specifically wrong. Labeling all mormons as twisted, irrational sheep following the voices in their collective heads, and for that matter, labeling all Scientoligists in the same way, is a gross manipulation of the truth. Many people demonize followers of Islam, Catholic priests, Voodoo priests, homosexuals who want to get married, (insert least favorite group here), etc. because of the actions of individuals that to belong to a particular group. Calling someone a "fat, slovenly, pasty-faced, Cowboy Neal choosing, caffine addicted, bleary-eyed excuse for a million monkeys typing on a a million typewriters slashdot poster." may be funny, but it is not necesarily true.
Third point - what similarities? Enumerate them, citing official sources. Don't make blanket accusations without specific, verifiable claims.
Fourth Point - Insightful in what way? I know am raging against the Slashdot machine, but what was insightful about that post? Darl is a moron, oops, I mearn mormon? Every single article about SCO posted on Slashdot has the obligitory "Darl is a mormon - they are soooo freaky weird" post. We know already! no new insight has beed added to my dwindling pool of knowledge. Please stop, I beg of you, please stop ignoring logic, reason and rational thought.
Fifth Point - Many mormons disagree with Darl. I am one who does not agree with him at all. I know many others who dislike his attitude. Mormons can have different opinions about various issues. Darl has his, and I have mine.
"Always take at least two mormons fishing with you, because if you only take one, he'll drink all of your beer."
Those Mormons as you call them are very open. You can find everything for free. They also submitted everything to the library of congress years ago. Even the things that go on inside the temples. Of course you can't just walk in, just like I don't want you walking in while my wife is having a baby. Nothing secret, just sacred.
And they have never had a history of being racists(someone elses reply to you).
The polygamy crap you see on the news now days, are not the same church.
The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions that I wish it to be always kept alive
In A.D. 2004 ....
Search was beginning.
Darl: What happen ?
Security guard: Somebody set up us the search warrant.
Secretary: We get phone call.
Darl: What !
Secretary: Speaker phone turn on.
Darl: It's You !!
SEC: How are you gentlemen !!
SEC: All your evidence are belong to us.
SEC: You are on the way to prosecution.
Darl: What you say !!
SEC: You have no right to resist make your time.
Slashdot: HA HA HA HA
Darl: Take off every 'FUD' !!
Darl: You know what you doing.
Darl: Move 'FUD'.
Darl: For great evasion of justice.
I don't think Darl will use the gun on the police. But the police better show up armed.
Taking the paints away from an artist or the code away from the programmers is another thing.
Yet another likening of code to an art form.
It's time some of you woke up. A recipe is not art - neither is a computer program.
"USA != world."
For now...
In the free world the media isn't government run; the government is media run.
Parent is a troll
Sounds like the paster from the First Baptist of Snellville I met on my LDS mission in Georgia. He was pretty irate about the LDS Churh too.
