Whoa! I just had a flashback to the O.J. Simpson trial. Remember when it looked as if it was going to go on forever? Whatever happened to judge Ito? Nah... too lazy to google it up.

SCO's argument

[iMaple]

SCO's principal argument in opposition to AutoZone's motion is that it will suffer irreparable harm if the case is stayed.

Well I thought they loved that .... From the track record they have of suing people. And isnt it impossible for an almost dead company to suffer more harm ? Oh..I get it .. The SCO executives when looking for new jobs say "We almost won, but the court stayed the case and we suffered irreparable harm"

They aren't going to need new jobs -- they earned more than enough selling their stock when the price was high.

I wonder

[AVryhof]

You can SCO to hell, SCO to hell and die!

Honestly, I think they are jumping the gun suing before the courts have ruled on their copyrights. I imagine AutoZone could countersue for extortion if SCO loses the copyright case. They should start the procedings now, maybe it would keep SCO in their place for awhile.

Whew that was close

[spektricide]

I can't believe Auto Zone wanted to drag them to Tennessee. Next thing you know they'll be suing cause they got the patent on country music. Only $600 to unlock all your DRM files from your favorite country artits

SCO-I hope they die...I hope they rot.

[spektricide]

Oh sure I understand part of the whole "logic" surrounding the decision. Still, isn't it a little like asking Satan to come in your house and have some lemonade.

Bad move for SCO. RedHat and Autozone respond with lawyers. Rednecks who listen to country music respond with shotguns.

Dude, you come here for cutting-edge newsbreaking? That's the job of something like Google News, not Slashdot. I come here for the type of content, not how fast it gets posted.

Re:SCO anti-gravity gun holding up stock price?

[daniel23]

apparently some party is very dedicated to not let the share price drop below 5 USD. So much so that it borders to the comical: over the last week some days resulted in a flat line at 5$ with some minor moves.
If this was an EKG the nurse would pull the plug and the doc go out have a smoke...

The stock has a small volume and thusly is open to painting like its jump upwards just before the quarter closed, theories who does all this include sco, microsoft (fullfilling an assumed promise towards bastar) and some large scale investors fighting some internal trouble if their large position goes below the 5$ line.

SCO anti-gravity gun holding up stock price?

If they are wanting quick cash, why don't they patent their anti-gravity gun?
