SCO Says IBM Hurt Profits
AlanS2002 sends in a link from a local Utah newspaper covering the SCO-IBM trial. The Deseret News chose to emphasize SCO's claim that IBM hurt SCO's relationship with several high-tech powerhouses, causing SCO's market share and revenues to plummet. "[A]n attorney for Lindon-based SCO said IBM 'pressured' companies to cut off their relationships with SCO. And 'the effect on SCO was devastating and it was immediate'..." As usual Groklaw has chapter and verse on all the arguments in the motions for summary judgement.

It is like watching a train wreck, you cannot help but watch.
Except in the case of SCO, the train is heading for a compact car, and we're all rooting for the train.

After they're done with this suit, they will sue IBM for messing up their restrooms, for parking in the wrong spots, for eating greasy food while looking at their legal documents, for IBM laywers not wiping their feet before entering SCO on rainy days, for sneazing colds around, etc. etc. etc.

SCO Says IBM Hurt Profits
Good.
The higher the technology, the sharper that two-edged sword.
"Since when was IBM responsible for SCO's profits?"
Since the day SCO's business plan switched from 'sell stuff' to 'pretend we own patents on IBM's stuff'.

SCO would have been better off tangling with the IRS.
Uhm, what makes you think they haven't?

I don't know that the claims are fake, perhaps they are just really, really protective about showing the judge their evidence.

Your posting to slashdot, and u have a 4 digit uid. You will never have children, as that requires interaction on an intimate level with a member of the opposite sex.
More likely your home made robotic shark with freakin lasers will read about the SCO debacle in soviet russia as they welcome their new beowulf cluster overlords running linux.
You shall know him by his Sig
Screw you, I have PLENTY of intimate interactions with members of the opposite sex! Sure, they usually aren't aware of it, but still . . . :P
So, they started with:
1. License Linux for $699 a-piece
2. ???
3. Profit!!!
Then it turned into:
1. ???

3. Profit!!!
And now, finally it's:

True confidence comes not from realising you are as good as your peers, but that your peers are as bad as you are.
actually, let me fix that: s/might/would/
Can't you just see Darl McBride behind the wheel of a rusted-out Yugo, puttering along, belching blue smoke as the SCOmobile burns more oil than gasoline, continually backfiring, muffler dragging on the pavement, one wheel replaced with a half-sized spare covered in 3" of dust, heading for a railroad crossing where the gates are down, the lights a flashing, the train whistle sounding, and the ground is shaking from the approaching train thundering down the mountain at full speed?
Darl's cackling in a high-pitched voice, completely out of control, "Make your time! All your code are belong to us!" as he approaches the crossing...
Clearly you must be a plant by IBM. Please forward your address to SCO so we can sue you for libel or something ASAP.
We know where leadership by an anti-intellectual "strongman" who scapegoats minorities and likes boisterous rallies goes
I have a 4-digit UID and seven grandchildren, you insensitive clod!
Keep beating it everyone! Candy will eventually come out!
The only change I can believe in is what I find in my couch cushions.
