Groklaw Refutes LinuxWorld Story About AIX Sources

Posted by timothy on from the truth-will-out dept.

rimberg writes "Maureen O'Gara printed a story about what allegedly was said in the last court hearing between IBM and SCO. Groklaw had eyewitnesses at the hearing. None of them reports seeing Ms. O'Gara there. Furthermore, none of them heard any of what she 'reports' about IBM supposedly claiming not to be able to find code. Let me repeat that. IBM never said anything like that, according to groklaw eyewitnesses."

  1. Why can't we MOD whole stories? by Danathar · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Instead of the Slashdot editors making the final say on what gets posted as a story. Why not have a list of stories that people can mod up or down. Then only let the stories that have a high enough score get on the front page? That might of kept this story off of the front page

    Perfect! You fit the Groklaw shill just right:

    "Hypotypical"??

    Ummm... Did you just make up a word? If not, what the hell does it mean? (can't find anything at google or dictionary.com)

    It looks like "hypothetical" and "typical" had a bastard child that was kept in the basement until you let it out :)

    hypotypical as defined by the dictionary of neologistics--

    hypo- :less than / below
    typical :common

    Less than common example.

    Doesn't do anything to support his point though.

    Heheh... no, I didn't make it up. But somebody else did. Umberto Eco, to be precise.

    Look for it in Eco's The Name of the Rose. Eco uses it (judging from context) to mean the quality of being an atypical but illustrative example, and applies it to describe that quality which lists and list-making have of creating a sense of understanding where none may actually exist.
