The Score is IBM - 700,000 / SCO - 326

The Peanut Gallery writes "After years of litigation to discover what, exactly, SCO was suing about, IBM has finally discovered that SCO's 'mountain of code' is only 326 scattered lines. Worse, most of what is allegedly infringing are comments and simple header files (like errno.h). These probably aren't copyrightable for being unoriginal and dictated by externalities and aren't owned by SCO in any event. Above and beyond that, IBM has at least five separate licenses for these elements, including the GPL, even if SCO actually owned those lines of code. In contrast IBM is able to point out 700,000 lines of code, which they have properly registered copyrights for, which SCO is infringing upon if the Court rules that it repudiated the GPL."

I've been waiting for this case to die for a long time :) ...first post?

Is it just me

Is it just me, or does Caldera's logo look like Mickey Mouse's ear (specifically, a sphere with a picture of Mickey Mouse on it, such that you can only see his ear) ?

Ya Saddam was operating a kennel, raising cute adorable schitzu puppies. It was all rainbows and lollipops for the Iraqi people, especially the Kurds in the north, until big mean Bush came along and started kicking the doors of their tree-forts.

You are damn ignorant

I think "When you are George Bush and talking about evidence of weapons of mass destruction" is a better example. Clinton lied about a blow job, Georgie about something that cost half a million Iraqis and more than 3,000 US servicemen, so far, their life.

500,000 dead Iraqis? Utter bullshit, sourced only from the completely discredited and non-peer reviewed Lancet "study":

Evidence for weapons of mass destruction? A lot of problems in that area, and whole different subject than I will address. To let everyone else in the US Government off the hook (they also review the 'evidence', and most supported it) is disinguious at best.

Since you (an AC) decided to bring up the comparison ...

Tell me ... who was convicted of perjury, was debating the definition of the word 'is', and was ultimately impeached? So many people say 'Bush lied' ... but I've yet to see one shred of evidence that George Bush, the President of the US lied. And exactly what about, did he supposedly lie? If I were to see the evidence, I would be more inclined to incude him as an example.

Keep in mind that congress had a say in sending the troops over ... inlcuding Shrillary Clinton. But the other reply here probably has it right ... Saddam was really operating a kennel.

K moderators ... now you can officially mod me off-topic.
