SCO has announced that is has claim to all IP related to supernovae. SCO claims it bought the rights to view and reproduce all supernovae images from NASA back in 1996. Another suit, targetted against the Catholic Church is insurance in case there really is a God that created the supernovae. If so, then God will be part of a future lawsuit.
Being that NASA uses UNIX computers to do much of it's work, SCO is also including IBM, Novell, Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson as defendents in the filings.
...ranging from five to 10 to 15 lines of code in multiple places...
5 to 15 lines in some places? Does SCO think they own hello_world.c too? Give me a break.

Get the eMule source and hack out the upload crap. Have it generate a new user ID every run so you don't get a bad rating, you just stay as a "newer user". I always get ~150KB/sec in with 0K out. While you're at it, increase your search connections/sec.. There's LOTS you can do...
FACT: The Illuminati is using 802.11b as a carrier for their Mind Control Rays. When "reputable sources" speak of 802.11b security, they really want you to work closely with an 802.11b source for a while so you receive their programming.
Real 802.11b security can be achieved by the following means:
Purchase a 15 meter (~50') roll of tin foil.
Wash your hair with baking soda. Don't use commerical brands, they have 802.11b signal enhancers which tune your noggin to their Mind Control Ray.
Once dry, wrap your head in a clockwise fashion with the tin foil. Ensure you cover the top of your head, your ears and base of the neck. You can poke small holes in each side to allow sound to reach your ears.
Sit back and laugh knowing that you have true 802.11b security and are safe from The Illuminati's Mind Control Rays.
Rather than getting bigger pipes they should incorporate traffic shaping (ala ALTQ in OpenBSD, et al) to keep the P2P traffic low so the students can use the network for what their parents pay for: learning.
Assume each spam eats 5K of bandwidth. Now think about how much bandwidth is used by searching other p2p nodes, the returning results and finally receiving a 5MB song (or ~700 MB DIVX movie/ISO/etc). Their figure of 60% may be inflated a bit but I don't doubt that the number is close.
When any manufacturer offers incredibly deep discounts like this, it's only so they can get their hooks into you. "Give them the razors, sell them the blades."
The SCO attorneys were seated across the courtroom from
IBM's legal team. "Your Honour," began SCO lead council
Henry L. Pencilneck, "we believe the defendent typed SCO
trade secrets into the Linux kernel. Furthermore, your Honour,
we maintain he did so whilst wearing this.."
The courtroom went silent as Pencilneck dumped the contents
of a brown paper bag on the table he was behind. The courtoom
erupted in gasps and cries as a bloodied leather glove landed
silently on the table. "Order! Order!" called Judge Shyster
as he hit his gavel.
"Mr. Pencilneck, why was this not brought into evidence earlier?"
asked the Judge. Pencilneck smiled. "Your Honour, only this morning
did we find this glove behind a small guest house owned by the
lead programmer employed by the defendent. Furthermore, we are
ready to prove that during the night the alleged copyright
transgressions took place, the lead programmer from IBM's Linux
project hit his head on an air conditioner behind the guesthouse
which is what caused him to drop this glove! Finally, we maintain
that in the guest house, none other than Linus Torvalds himself was
living rent-free." Two of SCOs programmers in the courtroom
broke into tears as they looked on the glove which was covered
in blood they maintain was from their source code. "There's only
one way to settle this," sighed Judge Shyster, "Have Linus Torvalds
try on this glove." The courtroom exploded.
A door at the back
of the courtoom opened. Four armed guards encircled a furniture wheeler
bearing the straight-jacketted form of Linus. Women in the courtroom
fainted.
Unshackling his right hand a guard tried to fit the glove on Linus.
It didn't fit.
The courtoom exploded again. "Order! Order," cried Judge Shyster,
"Notice how Torvalds balled up his fist? It won't fit in a glove like
that, but.." The Judge leaned back, "Bring in the Goatse.cx guy!"
Slashdot Mirror
It's only a matter of time before SCO decides they own the rights to all motion picture technology and tries to sue the RIAA.
Orbital bombardment from the moon, eh?
I could order food from their moonbase and it will still get to my house on earth faster than from the restaurant down the street.

I was thinking this exact same thing. We must use the same brand of tinfoil for our hats.
Anyone know why Slashdot is all weird this morning?
Just this morning?
How do you undo a move, tear up the last page of paper?
There's some insightful, some informative, some trolls in my history. I tend to burn karma on Fridays, so what?
Take a pill AC, it's only slashdot not real life.
Now this is the most informative post I've done all month.

To Be Continued
Is there a legal term for that?
It's been a while since I took Latin but I think it goes: "Defecatus elsum Pottus Risus"..
Ok I'm full of it.
You don't need babelfish to understand "Hey SCO; shit or get off the pot!"
My ex-wife could have sorted them..
"ptooey.. that one's bitter.. hack.. that one's defective.. Mmmmmmmm... salty..."
