    Guys, we really shouldn't make fun of SCO; they invented Unix and therefore Linux. You might laugh, but they have proof, which they keep in a secret place, locked up. However, I hear it has something to do with a "for" loop. I don't know much about programming, but that sounds really complicated. Anyhow, I really think we should give them the benefit of the doubt and just let them have this one. They deserve some reward for slaving over that code for all those years.
