SCO Wants Summary Ruling, Wants To Appeal Unix Ownership Decision

An anonymous reader writes "SCO is asking the court to enter a final judgment on the Unix ownership issues so that it can seek an immediate appeal. The logic for this, according to Groklaw Editor Pamela Jones, is that SCO would rather appeal right away so it can try all its claims at IBM, should it successfully appeal the judge's order. 'Otherwise, SCO has to wait until Novell goes through trial to a verdict and then appeal, and while it is in the appeal process, IBM would go forward in its now much smaller version, based on the August 10th ruling ... The trial starts, though, in less than a month and it will last less than a week, so none of this makes any sense if you look at a calendar. I think, therefore, it must be about FUD, so it sounds like SCO is on the move again.' The text of the request is available online. "

Re:Wrong, ill tell you what SCO want

Am I the only one wondering what the hell being in amish country would have to do with this?

Ruling

[halcyon1234]

SCO: We want a summary judgment!

Judge: Fine. In summary, shut the fuck up.

Re:Ruling

[Slicebo]

SCO: We want a second opinion!

Judge: Fine. Your tie is ugly, too.

That's what they tell you.

The fact that you never hear from the people who survive an Amish beat down is proof of just how brutal they really are.

Your Ideas Intrigue Me & I Wish to SUBSCRIBE

[eldavojohn]

d00d, i see you're a subscriber. Yeah, the $5 was a lot. I mean, it was a lot! Nearly broke me if I recall. Then I had to go into my user preferences and set it to never use my subscription pages. What brown nosing work! That one time fee of five American dollars is quite the payment, but I think if you ask them real nice, they may be able to work out a payment or leasing plan for you. Look into it.

i just wanted to know, can you tell me what it's like to be a complete fucking limpwristed brown noser? Somedays it's really really hard. I mean, I think to myself, "How can I add to the conversation surrounding this story?" More importantly, I try to make it a rule to post only once to each story because if someone can refute my ideas then I should have prepared for that. I don't just value the ability to hold an opinion, but more so the ability to see all points of view and take them into consideration on your initial assessment of the situation. I'm a big fan of General Buck Turgeson and so I "Hate to judge before all the facts are in," and therefore, I consider my best comments to be those with little or no responses. I've been wrong thousands of times, was even wrong in the above post in that I thought delisting status came at under a quarter, not a dollar. But, hell, someone corrected me, good for them. Can't argue stuff like that. A lot of times, I don't even post I just read others comments because I really don't have anything to add (imagine that!).

As for my limp wrists, I'm quite sensitive about that and I would appreciate it if you left that out of the conversation. I had a freak teapot lifting accident when I was 8 and ever since then, I haven't been able to lift my knuckles above my ulnae & radii. Go ahead and laugh, all the kids did, I've learned to deal with it and push on. Oftentimes when I look in the mirror I see a fat, slower, stupider Lance Armstrong looking back at me. If Lance beat cancer, I can with God's help beat this horrible limp wrist affliction. Don't even get me started on the birthmark on my nose.

you're so fucking pathetic that it nearly makes me ill. Well, go ahead and add me to your foes and give your foes a -5 modifier. You'll never see my comments again. You do know that Slashdot has that feature, right? I don't understand why it makes you ill. Did I crawl the intarweb to your computer and force you to read my comments and apply them to your skin or else you get the hose again? Truly baffling to me that my posts have the power to be an ailment.

So tell me, oh valued Anonymous Coward, what did you add to the conversation with your comment?
