Judge To SCO — Quit Whining

Posted by kdawson on from the and-wipe-your-nose dept.

chiark writes, "Back in June, the magistrate judge presiding over SCO vs IBM gutted SCO's claims, as discussed on Slashdot. SCO cried 'foul,' appealed to the District Judge, and today that judge has ruled against SCO, succinctly and concisely affirming every point of the original damning judgement. Also included in this ruling is the news that the Novell vs. SCO trial will go first: 'After deciding the pending dispositive motions in this case, and after deciding the dispositive motions in Novell, which should be fully briefed in May 2007, the court will set a trial date for any remaining claims in this action.' It's notable that the judge conducted the review using a more exhaustive standard than required out of an 'abundance of caution,' and still found against SCO." As Groklaw asks and answers: "What does it mean? It means SCO is toast."

    "And may I please point out that everything Groklaw told you about this case and about SCO and about what would happen eventually is now coming true? [takes a bow] As you can now discern, if you so desire, Groklaw was never biased, as SCO has repeatedly claimed. Groklaw was right. We had no inside track but, as a group, we had the technical and legal knowledge required to call this one accurately, even though at the beginning, we had to stand alone. Some have worried that there would never be justice from the court, as they watched the discovery process drag on and on. I told you it would all work out in the end, didn't I? Now it is, and doesn't it feel good to see some fairness at last?"

    Wow! That's some mighty fine self-congratulations! "I told you so" of the highest quality.

    The lunatics are running (moderating) the asylum. Slashdot is nothing more than an echo chamber
    for those who:

    a) hate America
    b) blame America
    c) hate capitalism
    c) hate conservatism
    c) hate Chrisitianity
    d) hate Christians
    e) hate Microsoft
    f) hate non-free software
    G) hate George Bush

    (If you say something even remotely positive about anything listed above, you are on the fast-track to
    being labeled a Troll or Flamebate. It is absolutely predictable and enternaining to watch this phenomenon.)

    Slashdotters are notoriously/hilariously sheep-like as well. You will, no doubt, find that the vast majority (OK, all.) of
    threads/posts not only devolve into an opportunity for the sheeple to spout one of, if not more of, the ideals listed
    above, but that at least one, if not all of the following little blurbs will be found in any thread. No, you will not
    find much original thought or dissent here at good 'ol Slashdot. Gotta love those tolerant and open-minded liberals!

    1) Nice straw man...
    2) Oh wait...
    3) x != n
    4) ...tin-foil hat...
    5) Er,
    6) Nice. (usually followed by some predictable unintelligent sarcasm)
    7) Wow! (usually followed by some predictable unintelligent sarcasm)
    8) Any of the multitude of childish spellings of "Microsoft" or "Windows". (M$, Windoze, etc...)

    If anyone would like to challenge the validity of anything I just wrote, please do so. What, no takers? Thought so...

    Now, back to your regularly scheduled propaganda...
