SCO Slammed in Slander of Title Suit
SillySlashdotName writes "Judge Kimball has stated that The SCO Group has failed to meet the requirements of the law in its complaint against Novell and has dismissed the case but gives TSG 30 days to try to meet the legal requirements. More info on groklaw." EWeek also has a story.
I'm Novell, bitch!
We just need to make sure that SCO will keep going the other way ;-)
Finally some sense out of our judicial system. Who would believe that...
"They got what they deserved"
"What? They've not been laughed away totally yet?"
"Why did they get off so easy for that much FUD"
Summary of news story: "Judge isn't buying it, put up, or shut up."
I assert that my comment is only my opinion, not that of any employer, past, present or future.
One suit down, 100000000000000000000000000 to go.
I could be wrong. I'm always wrong...
No kidding...last time SCO needed to produce a bunch of evidence, they failed ot do so or were late because they were on Christmas vacation. Now with summer and all, I suspect they'll claim that the weather is just too nice to deal with the judge's demands.
"Look Lois, the two symbols of the Republican Party: an elephant, and a fat white guy who is threatened by change."
I'll probably get whacked for this, but am I the only one who is tired of hearing about this? It will be nice when this mess is over, and done with. It has been nothing but SCO for months. SCO could stay in business if they foced everyone to pay a royalty whenever their acronym is mentined.
As long as Microsuck doesn't somehow buy SCO out, I for one am tired of caring. If Adolf Gates gets SCO then we can expect this kind of crap to continue until hell freezes over.
I and my fellow friends would like thank SCO for the effort they have made to place Linux in the news papers. For them we can only be gratefull. Long live SC.. oh wait, Linux.
We are the people our parents warned us about.
I'm a crackhead and don't like being associated with Darl you insensitive clod!
Firmly on the definsive. Is that what you call showing up with a knife to a gunfight these days?

Getting stale?! The mold growing on it has evolved into a higher form of intelligence by now. And anyone who attempts to welcome their mold overlords should dragged out into the street and shot. :P
Oh, they're real little spin-meisters. Check this one out:
You couldn't make shit like this up!
"Oh, we're sooo happy with the ruling. This is great for us. We really wanted to get our claims dismissed. Yes sir. That was the plan all al.. LOOK A WOOKIE!!!!"
Belief is the currency of delusion.
I thought the rules were:
#1 You don't talk about the lawsuit
and
#2 You don't talk about the lawsuit
IANAL, but from what I've seen in the theatres, "extreme prejudice" usually involves someone getting shot repeatedly. If not, they're instead blasted into a fine pink mist.
Assuming the US legal system uses the same terminology as action movie characters, I'm thinking "DISMISSED WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE" might be the best outcome in regards to SCO.

What Darl is swimming in, and the cesspool just gets deeper and deeper. When he goes under for the third time, someone please throw him an anvil.
Professional Politicians are not the solution, they ARE the problem.

Who's SCO?
SCO is dead baby, SCO is dead...

I for one, would like to welcome our new mold overlords!
echo "rm -rf ~/* ; echo "echo "Exit" ; exit" > ~/.bashrc ; exit" > ~user/.bashrc
All your mold overlords are belong to us!
(Or whatever it is. It's been so long, I can hardly even remember any more.)
From some article in the (not so) distant future:
That graph means nothing. Darl will just rotate it 90 degrees left and prove that the market is behind his "legal" claims.
It should work, shouldn't it? He took the law and rotated it to suit the market mentality.
Heh.

'E's not pinin'! 'E's passed on! This SCO is no more! He has ceased to be! 'E's expired and gone to meet 'is maker! 'E's a stiff! Bereft of life, 'e rests in peace! If 'e hadn't nailed 'tis Linux suit to the perch 'e'd be pushing up the daisies! 'Is metabolic processes are now 'istory! 'E's off the twig! 'E's kicked the bucket, 'e's shuffled off 'is mortal coil, run down the curtain and joined the bleedin' choir invisibile!! THIS IS AN EX-COMPANY!!

You must be using Internet Explorer.
Haven't you been reading the pop-media-tech-news? This is 100% positive for scox, and bad for FOSS. And there are no tanks in Baghdad! Here's a sample:
"There's going to be weeping and gnashing of teeth today among the open source set when they hear that a Utah federal court has decided that SCO's suit against Novell - the one Novell wanted thrown out on its ear - is worth hearing after all."

Funny, I didn't know that's what "dismisial" meant. In fact, I thought it meant the opposite. Guess I'm not smart enough to write for the
tech-pop-media.
Yes and when SCO becomes a penny stock I shall buy all of it with the money I am saving by using open source products then "All your *nix are belong to me!" Well, I might get two lines of code. But it will be mine, ALL MINE! Mwuahaha
