Roberts has helmed several businesses that have failed or gone
bankrupt in the last six years. The innuendo is that the businesses
failed or went bankrupt while Timothy Roberts was head of the
businesses.
These lawyers must get paid by the word. For their next
threatening letter I'd recommend something that will get them a few
more bucks. How about:

Roberts was head of the businesses when they went bankrupt. According
to your site, Timothy Roberts was at the helm of the businesses when
they went bankrupt. You insinuate that Timothy Roberts was running
the companies at the time bankruptcy befell the businesses. Timothy
Roberts, in your opinion, was acting in an important role at the time
the businesses went bankrupt. Who is it you suggest was controlling

Roberts. Timothy Roberts, as suggested by you, is to have been
acting in a managerial role when the bankruptcies of said companies
occured. Allegations were made by you that Timothy Roberts was

I really should have gone to Lahw Skool, the past 20ish
years of geeking seem wasted by comparison..
I remember having a beer at my
buddy Vijay's place in India (he was an outsourced Fern & Brush
Maintainer for the Pangea Shrubbery Co. in the Late Cretaceous)
Anyhow, I was working on my tan as the sun's light had only recently
begun shining through to the Earth's surface thanks to the Chicxulub
hit years before.
Vijay had just finished telling me a great
joke about his dog having no nose when we saw a massive asteroid
coming down. Vijay just muttered "Oh bugger, not again." The
sad part of the whole thing was that I had tanned lying on my stomach
that morning. My face and frontside were ghostly white for
ages.
I was a laughing stock for most of the Tertiary
period..
Pragmatic JUnit Testing was the quantum leap I needed. Because of Pragmatic JUnit Testing, the lateral shift to JUnit was perfect. It wasn't a complete shock thanks to Pragmatic JUnit Testing. Overall I'd say it wasn't so much a complete paradigm shift but thanks to Pragmatic JUnit Testing, it helped me think outside the box.
But the information I have flatly contradicts your concerns.
Yup, I was quick to Submit, most people do have some form of investments however the people tending the funds are the ones that make the big investment decisions, not Joe Lunchbucket with 20 or 30K in mutual funds.
"look around this office." All the
computers are from Compaq. The basic software is from Microsoft. The
phones are from Lucent. The air-conditioning is by Carrier, and even
the bottled water is by Coke, because when it comes to drinking water
in India, people want a trusted brand. On top of all this, Nagarajan
said, 90 percent of the shares in 24/7 are owned by U.S. investors.
OK, so that's how Free Trade works out well: domestic workers are put
out of jobs but the big multinationals reap the benefits.
Where are the phones from Lucent and the the Carrier air conditioners
manufacturered? Where does Coke bottle the water? They don't ship it
over from the US. They probably have a filtering and bottling plant
down the street.
The 90% of the shares owned by US investors
aren't owned by your next door neighbours, they're owned by
multimillionaire investment traders. They don't give a shit about the
people making them the money, they're just cogs in their
money-machine.
Saying Free Trade works out well because faceless corporation
make billions is just plain wrong.
IThey charge more for "graphic novels" than they do "comics". One day you'll see "Archie & Jughead Graphic Novels" selling for $19.95.. Not trolling, I just would rather read a good book.

I don't think they are allowed to modify the licensing terms, that may only apply to their own software written in-house. If they could modify the terms then the GPL loses all its bite.
For those too lazy to look up Section 4 of the
GPL:
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute
the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any
attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the
Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights,
from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated
so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
Now this gets interesting: if SCO continues to distributed NMAP will
the FSF start filing lawsuits? This might be the "Big Test" everyone
has been waiting for.
/me makes a bowl of popcorn and sits
back to enjoy the show.. (as an aside, does anyone know what compiler
SCO uses to generate their binaries?)
1) Check your registry.
LINUX ain't got no registry crap!
2) Check your FAT32/CXFS filesystems.
LINUX is JOURNALLED and can do that in the
background!
3) Verify your drivers are current.
LINUX is stable with drivers written in COBOL back in the
50's!
4) Defrag your disks.
Defrag?! You must be a WINDOZE LOOSER!!
5) Check your connections on the back of the PC.
HAHAHA! LINUX does that AUTOMATICALLY!!! LOOSERSSSSS!!!
6) Are your cards well seated? Power down and reseat.
HAHAHAAHA! LINUX can HOTSWAP EVARYTHING EVEN CPUs, LOOSERS!
7) Is your OS up to date? Perform a Windows Update.
HAHAAHAHA!!! LINUX can update itself automatically cuz of its
LEET HEURISTICS and COOLNESS that MS aint got, LOOSERS!!!
8) Start in "SAFE MODE"
HAHAHA! What's the other? UNSAFE MODE!?!?! LINUX is always
safe, LOOSERS!
9) Reinstall Windows.
HAHAHAH! LINUX NEVER NEEDS INSTALLING! Pour the blood from a
freshly sacrificed penguin on the disk and it installs AUTOMATICALLY
THROUGH AIR!!!!! LOOOOOOOSERS!!!!!

Timothy Roberts: hey Darl, I need the Ouiji Board tonight, we're going to threaten HardOCP and we need some insight.
Darl McBride: The Ouiji Board? OK, but we're keeping the Tarot Cards until Friday.
I love this bit:

That would only be possible if we were on Mars with those longer Martian days.

This brings back memories.

Also note how the fellow mentions that people want a good brand when buying water: The people don't care about the bottle, just who bottles it.
A good book on branding BS and the marketting that goes with it is No Logo (Naomi Klein). A decent read.
Hemos adds: Ultimately, free trade works out well
then I read this in the article:

IBM Spokesperson Joseph Camel agrees.

I wish i could do this kind of stuff in my programming, it's freaking hilarious.

Seriously, wonder what SCO will do if Samba and the other well known projects follow suit?
What they've been doing for the past year: hire more lawyers. SCO isn't a software company any more.
I don't think they are allowed to modify the licensing terms, that may only apply to their own software written in-house. If they could modify the terms then the GPL loses all its bite.
For those too lazy to look up Section 4 of the GPL:

/me makes a bowl of popcorn and sits back to enjoy the show.. (as an aside, does anyone know what compiler SCO uses to generate their binaries?)
Just playing Devil's Advocate here: IBM sounds touchy-feely about open source but how would they react if Sun were to offer to help IBM open up AIX?
Actually Step 1 is to: pay your $699 licensing fee you cock-smoking teabaggers. A caveat: SCO's license doesn't seem to differentiate between cock-smoking and non-cock-smoking teabaggers.
They'd need a lot of warrants to search those hundreds of thousands of parents' basements.
RealDolls... but calling it "hacking" is a bit of a stretch..

It'd make me feel guilty, having that much power in a small package [...] and I don't want to burn my lap.
Not to worry, the Viagra they spam isn't contraindicated against the "Grow your Willy 4 Inches in 4 Days" stuff.
