SCO Announces Product Line Updates

Posted by timothy on from the lifejacketed-rats dept.

ArbiterOne writes "Techworld has the story: SCO has unveiled their upcoming product plans, including a new release of UnixWare and a version for point-of-sale devices. Oddly enough, the article states that 'SCO's continuing Unix intellectual property lawsuits against IBM, Novell and others is apparently putting customers off.' I wonder how that could have happened?"

    They are at least consistent in their actions. Whether you believe that there should be constitutional ammendments establishing this sort of religious convention which is clearly against Mormon doctrine is another discussion.

    But for a Mormon to make the particular argument, seems a little like a Saudi wanting to hold foreign infidels responsible for the unequal treatment of women or American's invasion of Iraq supposedly to eliminate the evils of Sadaam, WDM, and terrorism while relaxing (a generous interpretation) rules on torturing captives, imprisoning thousands of innocents with no recourse, supporting Pakistan the greatest nuclear WMD exporter and a significant exporter of terrorism.

    If you request URLs supporting these issues, I will provide them.

    ...you would be hard pressed to find anyone besides Mormons that considers Mormons to be "Christians".

    Actually, not true. You might be hard pressed to find some fundamentalist Christians willing to call Mormons "Christian" (outside of self-serving "brotherhood" when needed by some Republican-hatched political agenda), but because their main tenets derive from the divinity of and salvation via Christ, most theologians and philosophers would put them squarely in the Christian camp. The breadth of "Christian" beliefs appears to be quite broad, as demostrated by such exemplars as Pat Robertson, Robert Schuler, Luis Palau, Benny Hinn, Mary Baker Eddie, the Pope, Jack Chick, the Missouri Synod of the Lutheran Church, and (sadly) the perveyors of the Spanish Inquisition and David Koresh.
