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.

    Now I understand why the USA is suddenly filled with white trash nerds and geeks selling files on the streets for a low price. Claiming that this is the GOOD stuff unlike their colleagues who sell weapons and drugs. :P

    god, you milf fetishists are almost as bad as the furries.

    furries are too scared to act out their bestiality fantasies in real life, so they dress up as animals and then have sex.

    you people are too afraid of either strong, independent women who could turn you down, or deep down inside you want to fuck your mother.

      You can talk out your sexual hangups with your therapist. All I can say is that I'd do the milf Heather Locklear any day, and she sure don't look like my mother.

      I would also contend that mature women are more likely to be viewed as strong and independent than a lolita. God, you wannabe psychologists read way too much of those grocery store checkout self-help books.

      I will agree with you that that furry thing you describe is pretty weird. To each his own, I suppose.

    christ, you guys actually invaded both Afghanistan and bloody Iraq! why oh why?!)

    In case you missed it, someone flew a fucking airplane into one of our skyscrapers. An hour later, someone else did it again, this time to the building next door. Then someone flew another one into the Pentagon (a *military* installation). And yet another person drove one into the ground while trying to make a pass at the [White House|Capitol]. Turns out this was orchestrated by a looney from Afghanistan, with the full support of the Afghan government.

    OF COURSE we invaded Afghanistan.

    As for Iraq, well, the best explanation I can come up with is that Bush Jr is still pissed that Hussein tried to have Bush Sr killed. But that explanation kind of sucks.

    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..
