SCO Website Using Groklaw's Content
darkonc writes "It looks like they didn't learn from the
BSD debacle (where, having sued Berkley for copyright infringement, AT&T found that they were using BSD code without acknowledging it's source). Groklaw has an article detailing how SCO has documents created by and for Groklaw on their site -- without even acknowledging the source. It seems that the defenders of the holy IP principle have hoisted the skull and bones."
Not IP, yet...

From the journal of Terri Schiavo
I was very excited for my meal today. Because today, I was having ribs. All day, I was thinking, "R-r-r-ribs!!! Dripping with sauce! Baby back r-r-r-ribs! Falling off the bone!" You know, the kind they serve at Grizzlebees. Well, I tell you, I wished I had less fun. First of all, you can hardly call 41 year old ribs 'baby back', I don't care what the fuck baby back refers to. Second, these things were more of the quality that you might make a stock out of. More likely, you'd toss 'em to your dog if he was a good boy. They say '63 was a dreadful vintage for champagne. Well, add ribs to the list of dreadful things that were born that year. I can get past that because we all know that ribs are generally a crappy cut of meat which is why you use a fairly strong sauce as well as why you cook them for a long time. This brings me to points three and four. I'll cover the sauce first which will be easy because there wasn't any. Now, a good sauce will bring out the most of a rib but even a bad sauce can give you subtle hints as to the preparation. You can often tell how the fat was rendered, either by boiling or slow cooking, and you can often guess the final cooking method be it oven (gas or electric), charcoal, gas grill, even the primitive imu leaves its own distinct fingerprint. Unfortunately, with the lack of sauce and the shitty meat quality, only God knows how they were cooked.
Offtopic thread here!
SUE THIER ASSES!
I never knew a babe was behind Groklaw.
That's neat/impressive.
hirzpcs?
(where, having sued Berkley for copyright infringement, AT&T found that they were using BSD code without acknowledging it's source).
It's = 'It is' (or, in some cases, 'it has')
Its = possessive
This part of the submission says "...without acknowledging it is source." While this forms a valid statement in English given that there would be an implied "that" before the "it is," it is obvious that the possessive is what was intended here. Thus, the statement should instead read "were using BSD code without acknowledging its source."
Who?
case you YWant to which gathers
Pretty good
Ecklestone excellent, Piper fit, a little scarey for the kids, but that's how it should be. Son 7 didn't hide behind the sofa but we'll see if he has nigntmares tonight. No Daleks yet but zombified shop window dummies and a man eating, burping wheely bin.
Best since Tom Baker
Can't wait for next week
This is shamelessly off-topic, but I would like for once to see "its" used correctly, or at least not see "it's" used incorrectly, on Slashdot's front page. Just once.
What AC's post that a person is whatever, don't mod then up, I laugh
You want your point to come across better? Don't post as an AC, log in, and be say your crap.
AC has no purpose, other then comic relief.
If you have something serious to say, log in, and say it.
Be seeing you...
My comment in another place:

Being a babe of 1959, I remember them all. I was dreading the new Dr. Who.
Well done to the BBC. Absolutely terrific. And Billie Piper has now gone up in my estimation from 10 to 10,000.
Superb.
Welcome back Dr. Who!!
There's no claim here that anyone "sat down" with PJ. There is no PJ. You do know there's no real PJ, right? That it's some guy pretending to be a female paralegal, right?
Aren't you a little suspicious that you've never seen a photo of PJ? Anywhere?
