Judge in SCO Case Notes Lack of Evidence
In a follow-up to yesterday's story, Allen Zadr writes "Computer Business Online has an article up today entitled 'Judge astonished by SCO's lack of evidence against IBM'. From the article: "Viewed against the backdrop of SCO's plethora of public statements... it is astonishing that SCO has not offered any competent evidence..." This is exactly what Groklaw has been saying all along, and they have commentary on the news as well."

Ha-ha!
Sweet informative mod.
Everyone's reaction sounds like Louis in Casablanca... "I'm shocked... shocked to find no evidence to support SCO's case!"
You are in error. No-one is screaming. Thank you for your cooperation.
Betcha SCO is overjoyed. For real! Here's what'll happen next.
Upon hearing the bad news, SCO's stock will begin to tank. Again. And once it gets low enough, SCO-friendly folks will buy a pile of it.
And then Darl will release some outlandish press release, saying that they own the rights to American Cheese or the number 6, and the stock will rise again. After all, they just can't make these claims without something up their sleeve, can they? Three days later, everybody sells. And then waits for the next bit of tangy pseudo-bad-news-for-SCO goodness.
What I want to know is when some judge will finally step in and put and end to this fraud.

rediculous.
I'm not sure. Could this be it?
How fucking stupid does one have to be as an editor to dupe the same story albeit different articles in a 24 hr period....
About as stupid as you are for duping a comment made 10 minutes earlier in this same thread.
Can't you be bothered to read the comments before posting?
"Slashdot Online has an article up today entitled 'Readers astonished by Slashdot's repost of SCO's lack of evidence against IBM'. From the article:
Apparently, you didn't get the memo.
Looks like it is having a minimal effect however.
Beauty is in the eye of the beerholder.
The company I work for used to do a lot of business with SCO, and we still get holiday cards and whatnot from them from time to time. This past Christmas, we get a nice generic corporate Happy Holidays!-type thing from them. Except get this -
It came postage due.
I kid you not. It's hanging on the wall.
In other news, SCO will be moving forward using its pattern-matching software to identify travellers' faces during airport screening...
In other news, the court transcript has been revealed.
SCO: IBM did it.
Judge: IBM did what?
SCO: They stole our code.
Judge: Evidence Exhibit A?
SCO: My dog ate it.
Judge: IBM do you have anything to propose?
IBM: Can I buy all of you lunch?
Judge: Case closed.
Even though there is ample evidence of this story being a Dupe, SCO's lawyers will claim it is their original story and claim Slashdot is violating their copyrights to the story.
and I thought you were kidding because I immediately read the "S" as "Sucks" and then read the rest of the letters together. But, nope, SCOX is the right symbol.

Personally, I'm surprised at the dupe.
