Novell Wins vs. SCO
Aim Here writes "According to Novell's website, and the Salt Lake Tribune, the jury in the SCO v. Novell trial has returned a verdict: Novell owns the Unix copyrights. This also means that SCO's case against IBM must surely collapse too, and likely the now bankrupt SCO group itself. It's taken 7 years, but the US court system has eventually done the right thing ..." No doubt this is the last we will ever hear of any of this.
Darl? Is that you?
I mean, their livers are probably shot, but I have to believe that there are other organs worth harvesting from the board of directors and the legal firm representing them.
Is it just my observation, or are there way too many stupid people in the world?
You forgot the "I'll get modded down for this, but here goes..." line in your post.
No doubt this is the last we will ever hear of any of this.
What are you doing? Trying out lines for cheesy movie dialog?
[Novell stands over the fallen body of SCO]
Novell: No doubt this is the last we will ever hear of any of this. Come on everybody, let's go home
[As Novell turns and walks off, the hand of SCO twitches slightly and we hear a sinister laugh.]

Summation 2
No Shatner, it is not a contradiction; it is a sentence fragment.
"Fuck PJ."
Umm, I don't think she wants you, but it's probably okay to keep her in your maturbatory Rolodex if you want.
How about a moderation of -1 pedantic.
Fuck Frosty Piss. He's a publicity whore no better than Darl. Shameless publicity whore with dirty knickers and a fragrant, sweaty crotch. He wanked in a grand way to this poo-poo. Head. Of. Penis.
And "who is Frosty Piss"? Just some unknown troll *that just happened to post to this story*? - YEAH RIGHT. I got a boner.
Reasonable people understand that Frosty Piss works for SCO. Reasonable people understand that there is no "Frosty Piss", that SCO farted out a screen name and went to a whorehouse where they knocked up the ugliest skank they could find. Nine months later, et voila! Frosty Piss.
Reasonable people understand that evidence is necessary to back up their spurious claims.
I fail to see how this has relevance to the spurious claim presented.
You forgot Slashdot dupes!

I've only been waiting six years to post this.
That's a valid question with respect to Novell, but asking how IBM can afford seven years of court costs is a bit like asking whether Sauron can stay up all night.

THIS IS NOT TRUE! Linux uses Unix copyrights! - Daryl

(Posting twice isn't)
I believe that IBM will settle for having a pyramid of skulls in Lindon, UT as a warning to any future Darl McBrides.
I like the forecast further down that page ("12 month forecast unavailable.")
You're assuming said vocal chords are in the physical plane of existence. I see no evidence to support this theory. Darl is clearly a Greater Demon from the ninth plane of hell.
It's a small world and it smells funny; I'd buy another if it wasn't for the money; Take back what I paid (SoM)
Ah, shaddap and be happy for once. You can go back to playing prophet-of-doom tomorrow :D
Don't let THEM immanentize the Eschaton!
Novell wins...fatality!
Quick, do the spine thingy! - Forward, Down, Forward, Low Punch
Step into a huge movement. Don't Tread In Me.
Someone just gave me an idea for a new android app!
Mod me down, my New Earth Global Warmingist friends!
Wait a minute... Maureen O'Gara has a slashdot account?!?
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
Oh come ON! That's giving him way too much credit.
After all this, he'll be lucky to find employment as a bad smell pixie in the Dimension of Dirty Laundry.
Don't let THEM immanentize the Eschaton!
No it's FrostyPiss. Oh wait...
"No doubt this is the last we will ever hear of any of this."
You fool! You've doomed us all!
I have finally found my inner-peace.
I held back on paying SCO for licensing since I've been using a Linux desktop for a while on my personal desktop. I couldn't stand it anymore - sleepless nights, the shakes, sweating, and I took up smoking and booze. I was about to rip out the credit card today after work and pay them. Good thing I read Slashdot first!
I call dibs on the hearts. Been wanting a blacker, more evil model for awhile.
You're arguing over nothing. GP asserts Darl works for the antichrist. You assert he was working for Microsoft. You say tomato, I say tomato.
that this case actually reached a verdict before the contested copyrights expired!
