SCO Aims For The Feds
MoFoQ writes "News.com reports that SCO is now targetting the Feds and their supercomputers (the Beowulf clusters, etc.). Looks like they bit off more than they can chew, even before winning a single case "

I don't know who to root for?
SCO sent the letter to every member of the Senate and House of Representatives, said Blake Stowell, a SCO spokesman
Could they be any more stupid?
Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle!
I remember my mom used to tell me never to hit bee hives with my hockey stick. SCO never listens to this kind of advice, which comes up every time there's a story here about them; so what's their major malfunction? I just want it to end!
He calls for a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, he should call for an amendment to ban SCO.
Or... cue the shock and awe campaign.
Same scene, later that day.
Random SCO employee: "Umm, Mr. McBride, sir, there are a whole lot of people in ill-fitting suits who want to 'talk' with you ...."
Best Slashdot comment ever
WE BELIEVE WE CAN PROPOSE SOLUTIONS THAT WILL BE AGREEABLE AND ECONOMICALLY FEASIBLE FOR YOU
It's the trolls who scream the most. I say we put them on /ignore and move on.

You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The first is never get involved in a land war in Asia. The second, only slightly less well known, is this: never go up against a nuclear weapons laboratory when death is on the line!

Uh, huhuh huh, he said SCO.
Yah yah, that sucks! Fire fire!
To prove we mean business, we're typing this WITH OUR CAP LOCK ON! (evil, maniacal laugh)
This guy is way out there
maybe so...if it was on fair grounds.
But remember, the IRS is only a quick phone call away. Or the president can declare that SCO is an enemy combatant and send SCO off to Cuba.
Is it possible to rent penguins? I know their droppings are like any other birds, pretty nasty, kind of a pain to clean up and stink like hell in large quantities. Would it be possible to rent a flock of penguins and cage them in the sco parking lot for a work day? Everyone would have to walk through it and the penguins would probably hop up onto cars etc... Or just get a few pissed off male emporer penguins and leave them in Darl's office....

On a related note, SCO filed a lawsuit today against the former pop king Michael Jackson; SCO claims that Michael Jackson used parts of there unix source code when he create many of his popular songs, including "Bad" and "Beat it".

Darl must be jealous that his Unix isn't that good.

Never criticize religion on Slashdot. You will be modded down for "Troll" no matter how factual it is.
Hah! If you REALLY had an imaginary girlfriend then you would have linked to her page to show her off instead of to the front page. I bet you only have an imaginary imaginary girlfriend.
SCO's house of cards finally tumbles McBride and Co. will cash out, ..

I think this should read";SCO's house of cards finally tumbles McBride and Co. will have cashed out,"
This is what the stock buy back plan is for.
Exercise employee stock option.

stock price (on open market) not affected.

Crikey, you're on to something! Imagine a Beowulf cluster running
Windows ME......you can't put anything past those filthy Commies!
With that sort of computing power they could develop any sort of
weapon you can imagine....knives, axes, sticks....anything is possible
Clippy: I see you're trying to develop a WMD, can I help?
If the prospect of that doesn't constitute a clear & present danger
then I don't know what does.
I'm for GWB carrying forward the "War On Terrorism" and
pre-emptively nuking Redmond. Who's with me?
The Machine stops.

They hit one, then run to the next, hit that, run some more, hit another one.... currently they have a shitload of bees after them, and their legs are getting tired...

You seem to overlook that fact that windows does not cluster, has low processing thoughput, is riddled with security problems, and is unstable.
You misspelled "works as intended".
..Ever. Seriously, I like it.
Darl, do you have any idea how many Linux clusters those Mafia guys are running? And they're loaded! Go get 'em!
You sued WHO???? Don't you know that they have nukes?

Darl McBride is well on his to fullfill Londo Mollari's assessment of Emperor Cartagia: Only an idiot fights a war on two fronts. Only the heir to the throne of the kingdom of idiot would fight a war on twelve fronts.
The simplest answer to SCO alegations; They are going down !
Yahh, hiii haaaaa! -Major Kong, from Dr. Strangelove
He states a computer expert in North Korea can download Linux and create a super-computer. Yet I'm sure the same expert can download some ISOs of Windows from somewhere.
There's a thought. North Korea running their nuclear research program using windows.
I guess that's one way of stalling their research.
"Microsoft Windows. Your new weapon of mass destruction."
Now that this will involve the Feds as defendants, can we just let the Navy Seals have a training mission in Utah?
SCO goes to their offices on Monday and finds nothing but an empty shell, not even a fingerprint.
Professional Politicians are not the solution, they ARE the problem.
Darl will have a hard time letting go of the popularity he enjoys among the /. crowd.

In order to keep it, he'll start a new career in modelling. He will become the new, hmmmm, face of the reborn Goatse.cx

Maybe the courts should consider non-lawyer judges. I know a few out-of-work slashdotters who might fit the bill :)
