Well that's why the studies were done by scientists and not idiots spouting off on/.
btw....If you are completely without a clue, said studies proved that heavy gamers have increased spatial reasoning abilities. I.e. while one person can only track so many moving objects at one time, the gamer can track *up to* 50% more. This is good for both jet pilots & RADAR operators.

Through phrases like "misusing and misappropriating SCO's proprietary software", and through the enumeration of five categories of rights in paragraph 68, SCO's complaint implies the existence of relevant SCO intellectual-property rights based on patent, copyright, trade-secret, and trademark law as a background to the explicit matter of its licensing dispute with IBM over Linux.
It is notable that the complaint does so without ever actually stating what those claims are. We have previously observed that the outcome of the USL/Novell-vs.-BSD lawsuit places the very existence of such rights in serious doubt. But there are other reasons for SCO's coyness which should not escape notice.
One is that, despite misleading claims implied on SCO's web pages by phrases like "exclusive licensing", SCO does not own or control the Unix trademark. As we have previously observed, that trademark -- and the privilege of suing IBM for relief on a trademark-violation theory -- belongs to The Open Group.
Furthermore, SCO is barred by the terms of the GNU General Public License from making copyright or patent-infringement claims on any technology shipped in conjunction with the Linux kernel that SCO/Caldera itself has been selling for the last eight years. Therefore, SCO may accuse IBM of misappropriating SCO-owned software to improve the Linux kernel only if that software does not actually ship with the Linux kernel it is alleged to be improving!
Finally, SCO is barred from making trade-secret claims on the contents of the Linux kernel, not merely by the fact that the kernel source is generally available, but by the fact that SCO has made the sources of its Linux kernel available for download from SCO's own website! [25].
SCO, as a matter of fact and law, clearly does retain proprietary rights with respect to the SCO OpenServer binary distribution (which has never been published in source-code form and is not under the GPL). It is not the purpose of this position paper to dispute those rights. But to the extent that SCO uses those proprietary rights to attempt to cast a shadow over Linux, it maintains a position which is factually untenable.
Indeed, the effect of SCO's complaint is to systematically mislead and obfuscate on the issue of what background rights SCO actually has at issue in its claim of tort and license violations. The clear intent is to deceive observers into believing that SCO has a licit claim.
But that emperor has no clothes. Ultimately, SCO's argument would appear to boil down to asserting that "IBM had no right to give the community technologies that SCO had made freely available on its download site."
SARS is a regular virus that has mutated due to certian countries habits for housing different kinds of livestock together in the same unsanitary pens for extened periods of time? This would allow the virus many many more chances than it would normally have for cross-species mutation. Over a long enough time frame (oh 2000 years or so I guess) I guess anything is possible...

From the OSI position paper:
