Soko writes "The scoop is on Groklaw - SCO's motion to dismiss is denied, and further activity in the case is now pending the outcome of the SCO vs. IBM litigation in Utah. If they lose against IBM, will there be anything left for Red Hat to kick around, though?"

And don't forget peeing. Urinating on SCO's grave will be something many/.ers will partake in. I would probably join the festivities if I were in Utah to join the fun. The smelly smelly fun.

Also, what about the fun of playing soccer with Darl's head instead of a ball?

No, but I guess his head should be very light. What might be inside? For sure, it's not brain. Maybe air, or even vacuum:)

Yes. Down the lane. Meant to catch it with my heel, caught it on my foot near the big toe. Limped for a week.

Kicking SCO when they are down...

IBM will leave a pulp of tissue with the blood sucked out of it...
On the plus side you can make a decent soccer ball out of dried human body parts so Red Hat should be able to have a decent kick-around after winning the rights to the dismembered body parts.
Estimated value of this football game is around $1m as it will be considered "conceptual art" and snapped up in minutes.

Are you suggesting that they are pretty tight now? I'd be inclined to disagree, they're already pretty loose.

a quote from my business law teacher: "no matter how good you think your case is, at best you still only have a 50% chance of winning."
Tell him you're going to sue him for that comment as it caused you to collapse and die. Tell him you're claiming $50 billion for emotional damage and funeral expenses. Ask him if he's likely to lose sleep over your 50% chance of winning. Point out to him that he's a moron.

When Red Hat gets their turn, maybe they can install linux in them and call them a badger.

Remember, SCO's purpose here is not to win, or even survive, it's to spread disinformation and fear about open source and Linux. The *real* win comes when SCO is exposed as the passel of lying, greedy,

My new word fo the day - Lackadaisical

Lackadaisical (adj.) - 1) Lacking spirit, liveliness, or interest; languid: "There'll be no time to correct lackadaisical driving techniques after trouble develops" (William J. Hampton). 2) Affectedly pensive; languidly sentimental.
And now thanks to SCO and the RedHat lawsuit (page 5) referenced by the Groklaw article we might see an expansion of the definition for lawyers and geeks alike...
3) Lacking urgency and passionate conviction: "[SCO is]... taking a lackadaisical attitude toward pursuing its claims."

He definitely, ah, favors Microsoft.:-) Very unusual for a security guy.
Microsoft is a security consultant's wet-dream come true. It's like, lifetime employment. Fix/indentify one exploit, and *pop* there's another. No fear of working yourself out of a job.

Maybe yes, maybe no. This about the hundredth "first nail" development, so much so that I noticed that the Groklaw has decided to start including exclamation points in its story titles, perhaps to differentiate from the other beginnings of ends..

We could install Linux on a dead Darl.
Wouldnt it be alanis-morrissette-like ironic?
Imagine Darl, eyes glazed over with a bluish skintone, shuffling himself about arms outstretched, moaning "liceeeeeeeense... LICEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNSE".
