Judge Calls SCO On Lack of Evidence
Rob writes to mention a CBR article on Judge Wells' assessment that SCO just hasn't made its case against IBM in the well-known and long-lasting legal battle. The magistrate called the lack of evidence inexcusable. She further likened their claims to a shoplifter being handed a catalog for a store after being stopped, and being told 'what you took is in there somewhere, figure it out.' From the article: "In the view of the court it is almost like SCO sought to hide its case until the ninth inning in hopes of gaining an unfair advantage despite being repeatedly told to put 'all the evidence... on the table' ... given SCO's own public statements... it would appear that SCO had more than enough evidence to comply with the court's orders." Groklaw has coverage of the decision, and the complete text from the judge. Update: 06/30 15:14 GMT by Z : This story bears more than a passing resemblance to this one from Wednesday. Sorry about that.
Too bad Darl and friends have already made their millions from SCO's little stock kiting scheme, but it'll at least be a small comfort to see SCO finally begin to implode. I think I'll be checking the Salt Lake Tribune (I live here) for the eventual bankruptcy sale... maybe buy one of their logoed signs and mount it on a trophy plaque. (well, a man can dream, can't he?)
Quo usque tandem abutere, Nimbus, patientia nostra?
This case is still going on?
I thought SCO lost a long time ago.

Ah, yes, the court of public opinion. I'm shocked the judge hasn't just deferred to that and sentenced Darl to be hanged by the neck til he be dead, dead, dead. Stupid rule of law.
Slashdot - where whining about luck is the new way to make the world you want.
I wonder what the board room meetings of SCO are like with the lawyers that have undoubtedly drained SCO's coffers of every red cent...
"Na guys, we're feelin good about this thing. The judge keeps giving me a vibe - I'm so gonna hit that. But back to the case, na, we're doing well. I'm feeling judgement for us, no problem. IMB is (what's that? oh, IBM) IBM is SO gonna pay through the teeth. Leanux is going down!
"Oh, um, here's your bill. Pay that whenever. No rush."
Excuse my speling.

128 foot notes? Curious.
Coincidence? I think not...
aj.
NO, we DON'T want it to just go away. We want IBM to kick the Ever Loving Shit (tm) out of SCO to discourage this sort of thing from happening again. We want this to be loud, public, messy and embarassing for SCO, even much worse than it is now...much worse. I want the judge to come off the bench and bitch clap every SCO lawyer and exec, one at a time, on live TV, at the SuperBowl halftime with Janet Jackson's tits hanging out in the background. THATS what we want, thats what we need.

In other news, "it's" is not a possessive.
Hey. Whatchout for that flying chair....

Probably pretty happy since they have all drained SCO's coffers into their personal bank accounts.
From m-w.com:
Main Entry: ingress
Pronunciation: 'in-"gres
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Latin ingressus, from ingredi
1 : the act of entering : ENTRANCE
Main Entry: egress
Pronunciation: 'E-"gres
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin egressus, from egressus, past participle of egredi to go out, from e- + gradi to go -- more at GRADE
1 : the action or right of going or coming out
So, technically the initial dilation happens on ingress. Then, followed by the customary egress, ingress, egress,... cycle.
