Unsealed SCO Email Reveals Linux Code is Clean

rm69990 writes "In a recently unsealed email in the SCO vs. IBM case, it appears that an outside consultant, hired by SCO in 2002, failed to find copyright violations in the Linux Kernel. This was right around the time Darl McBride, who has before been hired by litigious companies as CEO, was hired. It appears that before SCO even began its investigation, they were hoping to find a smoking gun, not believing that Linux could possibly not contain Unix code. Apparently, they ignored the advice of this consultant."

Take your Coulter/Limbaugh talking points somewhere else, you fucking liar. Thousands of US and allied troops and innocent Iraqi civilians are being slaughtered, MURDERED as a result of shills like you. Look at the pictures of dead Iraqi children and tell me that they are all "insurgents." Meanwhile this stupid war is creating another Iranian-style theocracy.

And you can lie and lie, but there is no getting away from the fact. In Iraq, we are damned if we do and damned if we don't. The longer we stay, the worse the insurgency will get. Yet if we left things would get worse too. Either way we are fucked. So what do we do? I'll tell you what, lying about it won't do a single bit of good.

"String theory" matches that same description (can't be proven). It's being researched and taught in colleges though.
