Red Hat Founder Offers Help in Apple vs.Tiger Lawsuit

Art Vanderlay writes "Robert F. Young, a founder of Linux distributor Red Hat and now owner of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats Canadian football team, has offered Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs a quick way out of a lawsuit by TigerDirect over the latest version of Tiger. According to the Globe and Mail, Mr. Young has offered to license the Hamilton Tiger-Cats' historical use of the word Tiger to Apple free of charge. The Hamilton Tiger-Cats have been around since 1869. '136 years ago we were called The Tigers,' Mr. Young said. 'If anyone owns the exclusive rights to the word tiger with that much history and tradition, it's gotta be us.'"

    Your right about the lawsuites so I'll just respond to your .sig

    Bload on your hands could also make you a paramedic.

    I have always thought their cables were overpriced lampcord, but this just gave me more reason not to buy their outragously priced copper.

    I realise I'm off-topic, but amen sir, amen.

    Monster cable is overpriced GARBAGE.

    And now, back to your regularly scheduled programming.

    Actually, I would believe that would make you clumsy. Most paramedics wear gloves these days.

    On the other hand.. blood on your hands could be a product of a gunshot wound that you were on the recieving end of. Assuming you didn't know you were being shot at, and had no reason to be shot at... well then that would negate the sig.

    Dear Lord, I believe I am waaay off topic.
