SCO Spreads Rumors About IBM Lawsuit
yeremein writes "SCO says it has found a new smoking gun in its battle with IBM. This 'bombshell' was not found in a court document; instead it came from a reporter's interview at SCOforum. The scoop? 'SCO alleges that since 2001, AIX has contained code for which IBM does not have a license. Moreover SCO claims to have found internal IBM e-mails in which IBMers acknowledge this shortcoming.' With the announcement comes a hefty boost in SCO's stock price." SCO is also going to bundle its worthless linux licenses with its Unix operating systems.
IBM was making out with Linux in the bathroom!!!! YEAH, I know!
Those monkeys flying from Darl's sphincter lately will be shown to have been stolen from the Wicked Witch of the West. E-mails between the Lollypop Guild and the Lullaby League will prove it.
For a minute there I though they were going to die off quietly after everyone had cashed out. More entertainment to read while browsing at work!
Oh well, back to the code... :)

Shouldn't that be "... worthless linux licenses with its worthless Unix operating systems" ;-) ?
... I was getting DTs from my lack of SCO news

Interviewer: The question is, "What would happen to the *Linux* case, if SCO would turn out to be right on this one?"
Random Techie: Umm...Linux and the GPL would be finished.
Interviewer: I'm sorry, the correct answer was "Monkeys will fly out of my ass"
SCO's case has been circling the toilet bowl from day one. Hence, any time they come up with a "smoking gun" will be the right time to reveal it.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
After the WMD ficaso hasn't the term "smoking gun" been redefined to mean "imcriminating evidence (that we would like to find)"?
"Who put wrote that code here? It's just as shitty as SCO's system!"
"Long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead." (John Maynard Keynes)
Somehow "drinkypoo's law" doesn't have the same ring...
That's because the lawyers for IBM and the rest have a knack for demonstrating that the gun is indeed smoking, but that it is pointed at SCO's foot and they pulled the trigger themselves.
UNIX? They're not even circumcised! Savages!
...until they get into court. They oughta put SCO in front of Judge Judy, she'll rip 'em a new one and then some.

If you extend your toilet bowl analogy, that isn't smoke coming off their claims, but steam. And that isn't a gun that is steaming, but a pile of... well, you get the picture.

*PLEASE don't take this as investment advice, or an offer to buy/sell, or a solicitation of any services. If you do then you're a frickin' retard.
The problem is IBM was exposed to the code through a joint venture. To then prove that they came up with it on their own even though they saw SCO's code isn't easy to prove. Or in most cases beleivable. I'm flashing back to how Vanilla Ice was trying to explain how his rif was different from other songs that he copied.

I heard that joke on the Daily Show. They were interviewing college kids about Ralf Nater.
DS: "Finish this line, 'When Nater becomes president...'"
Kid: "Uhh... America will be on the right track."
DS: "No, thats wrong. The right answer is, "Monkeys will fly out of my ass".
Sort of reminds me of a Spongebob episode:
Patrick: Hey! Pioneers couldn't afford cannons!
Spongebob: They couldn't afford station wagons either...
[Spongebob shoots Patrick with a station wagon coming out of the cannon]
"SCO will be a worthless smothering ruin after IBM is through with it."
As opposed to now?
No. That's accurate. What he left out was "and they would be right to do so."
I think we've pushed this "anyone can grow up to be president" thing too far.
The article had a bit mentioning their attacks on Linux. I don't see it.
That's because you stubbornly refuse to follow their misdirection.
That's what this is - their attempt to make people "look at the wookie".
And just like the rest of their case, they can't do *that* right either.
Which SCO revoked.
/.
/., because I said so.
/., you must stop posting on /.
/., you must agree with everything I said.
Well, I'm gonna revoke your right to post on
There, I just did it. You are no longer allowed to post on
Seeing as how you are adamant that because SCO 'revoked' something it has no right to is binding, then when I revoke your right to post on
Oh yeah - I also revoke your right to disagree with me - so even if you talk about this with anyone outside of
Feel a little silly now?
