Groklaw Turns One

Posted by michael on from the slow-sunday dept.

JuliusRV writes "Today is Groklaw's one-year anniversary! As PJ writes, 'What a difference a year makes. When we started, all the headlines were saying that SCO was going to destroy Linux or at least make it cry. Now, looking around today, I see almost everyone predicting SCO's imminent doom instead. I think the truth, as usual, isn't in the headlines, and that it's somewhere in between those two extremes.' Thanks, PJ and all other Groklawyers, keep up the good work!"

    Actually, the place where I work (I work for a large, high-traffic porn site) .... I'm glad that I can still use Linux, as it's the best operating system for serving up obscene volumes of multimedia content over the web.

    Or volumes of obscene multimedia content over the web.

    This is human nature. As much as we like "bad girls" or "bad boys", we always pick the good.
    Try picking the "bad girl" once in a while, you might get some :)

    Groklaw already broke this story hours ago.

    Fark and ArsTechnica probably have articles too.

    The /. editors are terrible.

  9. LNUX at $1.94 - Where's the bottom? by Mike+Hawk · · Score: 2, Funny

    The remaining question for LNUX is "how low can it go"? If you just project the line out, LNUX goes to zero around late summer.

    It's sad, in a way, to realize that the best thing slashdot can do is go away.

      A while back, LNUX was at ~.90 and about to be delisted, now they are twice that. For whatever reason, Slashdot has proven to be a viable business.

    I'm just saying, quit harping on the stock price. It doesn't matter except as a reflection of what a very small pool of not-very-influential people (ie. mostly small investors) think about SCO's future business prospects.

    I keep harping on it in my head because I'm thinking shoot - I knew I should have shorted them.
