IBM Asks Court to Toss SCO's Entire Case

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the out-with-the-bathwater dept.

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."

    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.

    Chicken isn't really a good analogy unless maybe between a Geo Metro full of clowns painted in bumblebee stripes with an air horn, a fart-can muffler, and a bicycle bell on the steering wheel, against a Freightliner truck.

    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.
