AutoZone Granted Limited Stay in SCO Copyright Case
michael path writes "From Yahoo: Judge Robert C. Jones on Monday denied AutoZone's request to transfer its copyright case with The SCO Group from Nevada to a Tennessee court, but also granted a limited stay to the auto parts chain."
Is it just me, or is Slashdot not quite with it when it comes to headlines? Maybe indepth karma-whoring, yes, but that incisive cutting edge newsbreaking is, well, sucking somewhat
Well, it's not on topic at all, but then this topic is rather stupid, so...:
W00t! 3rd post! (parent)
Free IPOD's I'd recommend doing the ancestry.com one, you can cancel it right after you sign up. Use your junk e-mail address of course :)
Have you been around here this week? Yes, we are. Maybe another windows virus will come along and everyone can copy and paste from their
"C:\Documents and Settings\LinuxGeek\My Documents\MS Word Files\I hate microsoft.doc"
file and rant some more.
The cow is an animal, a mammal, that God created to gives us two kinds of food that are suitable for consumption. The cow gives us milk for our coffee, and it gives us steaks for our dinner plates. The average American will consume the entirety of 3,500 cows in their lifetime, and drink 175,000 gallons of creamy milk. Vegans, or people that hate the flavor of cows, will eat the equivalent to that in soy beans and soy milk. Unlike soy milk, however, cow milk does not taste like nitric acid fumes. Cow milk is healthy. Cow milk helps us grow big and strong, and makes our bones like metal. Soy milk invalidates male hormones, kills sperm cells, and enlarges facial features. Cow milk prevents the onset of elephantitis, and is used by many emergency rooms around the world to treat snake bites and internal bleeding.
Cows by nature are huge! They are bigger than both your mom and dad put together. If you disagree with this, hide the cookies in your house. To be as large as they are, cows eat a lot of food, and exercise very little. Cows eat grass, hay, grains, and sometimes even other cows. Cows cannot run, and are easy prey for predators, such as elk, bees, and humans. The cow has no natural defense, other than screaming. What happens to all the food the cow eats? Shout it if you know it, kids! The cow defecates more than fifteen times a day, and it smells bad, but not awful.
That's gross, right? Fortunately, their bowel movements can be used as an alternative to fossil fuels like gasoline, kerosine, and diesel. So, this animal gives us a food, a drink, and a fuel. As anyone can tell you, a cow's skin can be made into leather jackets, backpacks, wallets, or chairs. It's blood can be used for paint. It's teeth are processed into pearls for girls jewelry. It's legs have been used as prosthesis for ages. It's eyes can be used for practical jokes because they are gigantic. Finally, their marrow can be used as a soap, or as an easily produced and addictive hallucinogen.
But how does a cow work, and how does a cow die? These are both very good questions. A cow works a lot like a human, or a bird. It has blood, brains, and guts, which function together to keep it from being dead. In the diagram you will see the most important parts of the cow. The unlabeled sections are mostly muscle and bones, which nobody even cares about.
It's ears are mostly for decoration. A cow can only scream, and that gets old after a while. It's eyes, however, are very important to it's daily function. They are attached to its brain, so it can see things quickly. A cow needs to see so that it can eat grass. On a windy day, grass will move faster than 170MPH, which a cow is forced to track, process, and snatch with it's mouth. Sounds hard, doesn't it? It is. A cow needs to be highly intelligent to do this. This is where the brain comes in.
A cows brain is attached to its intestine, so food can be processed and used efficiently to think of things. Scientists believe the cow is smarter than domesticated cats, dolphins, and dotcom entrepreneurs (even a cow realizes you can't make a profit by giving things away for free!). It's brain is frequently being used to do puzzles of it's own devising. Cows may look bored when you're driving in the country, but, in fact, they are having a lot of fun. It's still not as smart as a human, so it doesn't really mind being killed for food. Some may, but there is not much they can do about it.
If you're interested in the milk, that is perfectly natural. The milk is generated in the cows guts, and flows to a sack that is used for storage, called simply the juice sack. Milk builds up there, and if it's not released will hurt the cow really bad. Only female cows produce milk. Male cows produce something similar, but it is not fit for consumption (ask your parents). Anyhow, when it is quite clear that the cow has filled it's juice sack, some guy will come to de-juice it. In the diagram above, you will see the juice valve clearly marked. This valve is opened with an instrument inserted

Hi, I don't care about SCO, but I have GMAIL INVITES . Any interested (logged-in) slashdotters reply with an unobfuscated e-mail address below, and I'll fire one off to you.

It's kerosEne, you fuckwit!
The way you said it was denigrating. If I had said "Geez, you sure don't think much of yourself, other people made much better comments than yours less than 5 minutes ago" it would also have been a pointless insult.
You could have just said "Groklaw also had an article about this, here is the link".
My interpretation of your comment "This, I think, is probably where we'll want to be paying some attention next" is that you think Groklaw's attention makes a squat of difference. If you don't believe that, and you do think that Groklaw has little to no influence on the outcome, then I'll be happy to apologise.
I explained exactly what I meant two responses up. I was talking about the Red Hat case. Not Groklaw.
And the brethren went away edified.
I saw your comment earlier where you claimed I "confused the pronouns". I did no such thing. I knew precisely that you meant "Red Hat case" when you wrote "this" and my comment is unchanged by your "clarification". You are trying to evade the question.
Groklaw is "paying attention" to every motion, brief, memorandum, and letter that's filed in every court where SCO is involved in Linux litigation. That was just an article I noticed because it seemed to me that, if the judge grants Red Hat's motion to lift the stay, SCO will be forced to confront the copyright issues there, and that's the issue that's mainly of interest around here. It's also a very nice summary of the "shell game" SCO is playing with the contradictory statements it's making in different courtrooms, which is surely worth at least a dry chuckle.
Now if your only point is that you disagree with that and you don't really think it's of interest -- well, it's just too damn bad you can't do anything about it, isn't it?
And the brethren went away edified.
I don't disagree with that. I do think it is of interest. If the best you can do is to attribute me with beliefs I do not have and disprove arguments that I have not made then you really should reconsider what value you bring to this discussion.
I might not have put a question mark at the end but my request for you to clarify your position was pretty clear. Your continued refusal to do so is very telling.
What part of "A well regulated Militia" is so hard to understand?
Hehehe that was an entertaining read. Thank you. :)
The reason I've beenn postinng a lot is because I've been working a lot. Full time job + freelance = argh I want a day off. So, in between long file saves, I've been entertaining myself with Slashdot. I've got another week to go so please, settle in, and enjoy the show.
That was a nice try at getting my goat, though. Mighta worked if anything you've said had some foundation in reality. Perhaps instead of sharing tips on 'having a life' with me, I should instead show you how to troll?
"Derp de derp."
I prefere AutoZone over Murray's any chance I get. However, Murrays does tend to have the parts I need on-hand more often.
