More like Comprimised Arses pay of Scrouge of Computing Organisations.
They could of invested the money instead in hiring a mafia guy to take care of SCO for once and all.
this is old news that you've fucking already reported and it's false anyway.
why are you such a goddamned homo?
No wonder the IT industry is in such a fucked up state. If any of these companies had some balls maybe companies like SCO and MS wouldn't get away with so much crap.
Who the hell becomes a registerd Slashdot user to post GNAA trolls as an Anonymous Coward?
Anyway, to get back on topic, I bet the decision to buy Linux licences came from a higher up in Computer Associates who didn't understand the implications. It's kind of like when I was about 14 trying to download Mac OS system updates overnight on my dialup connection. If somehow the connection was maintained, it was almost a certainty that my mother would walk in to the computer room and pull the plug out of the wall at 3am because she was afraid the box'o'computing might set the house on fire if unattended.
Manager: Well these SCO fellers sounded so reassuring that if we bought their licences, nothing bad would happen, so I did.
Employees: What? WHY?! This is PR suicide for a company that is supposed to understand the world of technology!
why would they want to do that?
maybe you need to inhale some.
Come on Taco, cut the FUD out, have a look at groklaw
Yep. If you think Yankee's anal-ysts are bad, consider how nicely they complement the half-truths and corporate pr mongering of Reuters alleged news reporting.
hmmm so SCO paid CA to say they bought the stinkin' deal to frighten little kids... tjeez let's buy some stock...
Bow down and worship my turgid bombast!!!
