      If you think this is a good movie, sure. It has the most extreme lack of plot advancement I've ever seen, no matter how good the ending is it won't make up for it. Not unless it involves an execution squad.

      Hmm.. Microsoft now controls both the Plaintiff *and* the Defendant. I don't envy that Judge. I guess MS couldn't purchase enough puppets in Congress. I wonder what the game plan is after this one?

      I'm not one to hold a grudge. I say we should have Darl chased off a cliff by topless women. Seems the humane thing to do.

    ...that really bites. Where will we get our schadenfreude after the SCO thing has been laughed out of court?

    For a second there I thought it said David Bowie. I suppose if he showed up it would help too.

    ...to invest heavily into Put-options of SCO. Then again, with them already listing in the penny-stock area, maybe rather invest in the spam companies that send out the pump'n'dump mails...

    Judge Dread and David Bowie must appear? Wait, I think the coffee has brewed. (SCO stories are always at least a two-cup problem and I'm down a cup this morning. Fill'er up, premium!)

    SCO Attorney: Your honor, we'd like to rectify the use of our patents but since they are propietary information we cannot disclose them publicly.
    Novell Attorney: Your honor there are no infringements. If SCO could present the infringments they would. Their use of the word "propietary" is solely FUD based manipulations
    Prosecutor Attorney: Did you say Fud?
    Juror Attorney: *whispers to another juror* I didn't even know they infringed on Warner Bros, patented Looney Tune character Elmer Fudd"
    Judge Attorney: *Watching Judge Judy in the background*
