SCO Loses
An anonymous reader writes "The one summary judgement that puts a stick into SCO's spokes has just come down. The judge in the epic SCO case has ruled that SCO doesn't own the Unix copyrights. With that one decision, a whole bunch of other decisions will fall like dominoes. As PJ says, 'That's Aaaaall, Folks! ... All right, all you Doubting Thomases. I double dog dare you to complain about the US court system now. I told you if you would just be patient, I had confidence in the system's ability to sort this out in the end. But we must say thank you to Novell and especially to its legal team for the incredible work they have done. I know it's not technically over and there will be more to slog through, but they won what matters most, and it's been a plum pleasin' pleasure watching you work. The entire FOSS community thanks you for your skill and all the hard work and thanks go to Novell for being willing to see this through."
What more be said?

blow your mind already
Turns out that SCO owns the copyright on the "Duke Nukem Forever" code.
The case is expected to be settled just before the universe dies a heat-death.
FATALITY!
Done with slashdot, done with nerds, getting a life.
Ha ha HA HAH!

Who do I make this check for $699 out to now?

You forgot the billions of hours slashdot posters used to create countless amout of SCO rants and flames.
Now the entire house of cards will come down like a stack of dominoes! Checkmate...
I'm trying to teach myself to set people on fire with my mind... Is it hot in here?
Six cents must have doubled their stock value.
I paid $699 and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.

Don't F*** with the PENGUIN!
Time to pick up some really cheap SCO stock!

I have this mental picture of a bleak rocky plain. Darl McBride lies sprawled on his back, dead eyes frozen in unspeakable horror. In his chest is a smoking hole. Looming over him, coiled in black mist, the terrible shadowy black robed figure of a Nazgul. In one skeletal hand the Nazgul holds Darl's still-beating heart and in the other a black Valextra briefcase.

I'm gettin' a pro bono just thinkin' about it!!
I hold very few opinions. I hold information based on observation and fact. If you wish to disagree, please use facts.
Otherwise, they'll just move on to another company, to do mostly the same.
Shit, Darl & co. would be lucky to get jobs as janitors in the Tech Industry, let alone anything of any consequence or responsibility. They're pretty much as attractive as a 600lb woman suffering from Tourettes' Syndrome and downing Mezcal by the case.

The $699 license? Worthless.

But, hey, that T-shirt could be worth something!
Think of the, uh, Novellty
Bet a friend that Duke Nukem Forever would be released before this was sorted out. Ah well, can't win them all.

I found it funny even if it's quite normal sarcasm and not one of those really golden pieces that have something really inventive.

desktop Lunix can't even manage a user base above the statistical margin of error, so it's quite possible Lunix has less than zero users.If you still after that wonder whether GP was a joke, you may need to update your sense of humour from the beta version to the latest release. An "apt-get update && apt-get upgrade" should suffice.
