DaimlerChrysler Looks for Dismissal of SCO Suit
Ian Atkins writes "DaimlerChrysler has told SCO where it can stick its lawsuit. In a filing in Michigan, the car company has said not only does it not have to give SCO the information it asked for, but that it hasn't used the software SCO claims rights over - for seven years. It has asked the judge to throw the whole thing out of court. Another bad for SCO and its MS-backed Linux crusade it would seem. Full details on Techworld here." Reader Eggplant62 notes that Groklaw is also covering the story, and noting that SCO has dropped their claim that the GPL is unconstitutional.
Tune in every Tuesday and watch Darl as he tries to survive in the courts. Next season don't miss the "Darl Survivor II" premier episode where he gets strip searched prior to entering prison. Soon after he meets his new roomate Bubba, who introduces himself and then says, "I like your butt Darly boy".
I Am My Own Worst Enemy
DaimlerChrysler has told SCO where it can stick its lawsuit.
Truly now is that the way they did it?
More than likely it was:
Dear Sir or Madaam,
Put forth hereth we knowth thus blah blah blah
Now to tell SCO where to stick it would be more like:
Listen up you stupid idiots,
We have no idea what the fuck you are talking about so piss off and crawl back into your hole and die.
With love,
DaimlerChrysler

Don't blame Durga. I voted for Centauri.
If SCO and RIAA got together, they'd have the highest expense of lawyers while offering no service or product to the public.
I thought M$ had good lawyers, man these two companies can sue any one of any status.
Some legal guy will probably blither that it's about burden of proof. At least in criminal matters.
Police prosecutor: "...the accused was seen walking out of a Best Buy with a DVD player. He was confronted by security, whereupon he said 'I am not the man you're looking for. There is no DVD player. Move along'. Security inexplicably let him go."
Accused: "I havent even watched a movie for 7 years so I dont even have a dvd player. I am not the man you're looking for. There is no DVD player."
I like the way many users have visualised the current state of affairs:

Previously we reported that SCO was scraping the bottom of the barrel. We must now print a retraction:
It appears as though SCO is in fact not scraping the bottom of the barrel...any longer. They have broken through the bottom and are working themselves into a barrel sized pit. The barrel was located near an outhouse, and so now you can see where they are coming up with all this...stuff.
