Final Judgment — SCO Loses, Owes $3,506,526
Xenographic writes "SCO has finally lost to Novell, now that Judge Kimball has entered final judgment against SCO. Of course, this is SCO we're talking about. There's still the litigation in bankruptcy court, which allowed this case to resume so that they could figure out just how much SCO owes, which is $3,506,526, if I calculated the interest properly, $625,486.90 of which will go into a constructive trust. And then there's the possibility that SCO could seek to have the judgment overturned in the appeals courts, or even the Supreme Court when that fails. Of course, they need money to do that and they don't really have much of that any more. Remember how Enderle, O'Gara and company told us that SCO was sure to win? I wonder how many people have emailed them to say, 'I told you so.'"
Anyone have any clue what kind of sentence generator this bot is using? I've seen several of these posts now in various threads and either it's a very benign sort of bot (nothing it's posted seems offensive or in general anything but slightly on-topic sounding drivel), or he/she is still testing out the grammar file before switching into troll mode. At any rate, it seems to be producing interesting results (markov chains maybe?), and looks like it seeds the inputs with random words picked out of the article description, then extrapolates using some sort of random seeding in combination with an association dictionary. In this instance it looks like it grabbed onto "Santa Cruz" as a physical location, and then switched into PHB/CEO mode to serve up some buzzword salad.
Curiosity was framed, Ignorance killed the cat.
Four years from now $50M might be a lot of money. Or it might be enough to buy a single sheet of toilet paper.
Help stamp out iliturcy.
