IBM Asks Court to Toss SCO's Entire Case

Lost+Found writes "After three and a half years of case proceedings, summary judgement motions have been submitted in the highly controversial SCO v. IBM case. SCOX shares took a loss of 18.75%, or $0.39, to close at $1.69. IBM shares rose 0.97%, a gain of $0.79, to close at $82.00. From the article: 'Both sides in SCO v. IBM have filed motions for summary judgment. To be precise, SCO has filed one for partial summary judgment and IBM has filed several motions for summary judgment, one for each of SCO's claims and two more for good measure on two of IBM's counterclaims. In other words, it is asking the court to throw out SCO's entire case, and to grant it judgment on two counterclaims without even going to trial on those two.' More motions for summary judgement from SCO against IBM counterclaims are currently being uncovered at Groklaw."

    whoa now... lets clear some things up here.
    "guy shoves his fist in through his enemy's sternum and rips out his spine"
    The only guy who shoved his hand through your sternum was Kano, ..& he ripped out your heart.. not spine.
    SubZero ripped off your head with the spine attached. -I think this is what you meant.

    I agree SCO wishes it could have a piece of IBM(ridiculous) I hope a public caning is given to the execs of SCO for even stepping up to IBM. how dare they
    D,F,F,F,HP!

    But. . .but. . Sub-zero. . . No, he only froze them and smashed them into shards of ice! If he had ripped their heads off it would have been a terrible influence on me, glorifying violence and whatnot. I'd have surely grown into a mass-murderer if that had been the case!

    And Kano. . . ripping hearts out? How terribly violent! No, no, I'm sure that as I recall he only punched through their sternum and then held up his closed fist in victory, that's all. Whew, thank god they didn't let the sort of violence you are describing pollute my mind.

    Now you're telling me there was BLOOD too?!?!? My, my, my, you must have grown up to be quite the serial killer, and I do not approve at all! At least when I harpooned a guy, beat him to death, and then flayed the flesh from his bones with fire, he didn't BLEED.

    It is to this that I attribute my having grown into such a fine upstanding citizen. :)

    And you're not? Everyones a whore. We all get jobs to make money. At least lawyers and prostitutes are honest about WHY people pay for their services, and it usually involves screwing someone.

    At the California Western School of Law in downtown San Diego, there is a framed woodcut in the main staircase. It is titled "The Lawsuit." It shows a cow. The plaintiff is pulling on the horns, the defendent is pulling on the tail, and a lawyer is milking it.
