SCO Missing 16,209 Files?

FileSortingZombie writes "After all the allegations by SCO that IBM is abusing or dragging out the discovery process, over in this story on Groklaw you can read about IBM's objections to what SCO is producing in discovery, not the least of which is that there are suddenly 16,209 fewer files in the privilege log, and IBM wants to know what's become of them. Are they unprivileged, lost, destroyed, already produced, or quite simply gone? As of yet, no one seems to know. All told, IBM found fault with some 76% of their claims, especially one case where IBM says that SCO appears to be trying to claim that a conversation it had with an IBM employee should be considered confidential. One helpful Groklaw reader went so far as to put up this analysis of the complaint on his Web site for those interested in just how objectionable IBM found SCO's filing."

    Not as long as Microsoft can find them funding. Their plan is to keep the lawsuits up as long as possible to give them as much time as possible to finish shorthorn, I mean longhorn. Whoops, I meant as long as possible to get Longhorn up to beta quality so they can sell it.

    OF COURSE we invaded Afghanistan.

    Given that logic and the number of Saudis involved on Sept 11 I'm still wondering why Saudi Arabia wasn't top of the list of countries to be invaded ?

    I think that I will throw the one thing (ok other than Natalies hot grits) guaranteed to be looked at by all on /. up on my website.

    How many deaths from starvation in the US! please describe multitude? I live in MSP (a pretty big metro area) and work downtown, I dont see multitudes of homeless.... Where do you see multitudes of homeless, and what do you define as multitudes?

    If someone has no home but has shelter and food given to them nightly are they really suffering? Certainly not comforatble but not anything like the poos in other nations..
