  1. Just for you, AC... on Digital Rights Managment Year in Review · · Score: 1

    IN SOVIET RUSSIA... Digital Rights manage YOU!

  2. Dupe. on SCO Wants to License Europe · · Score: 1
  3. Re:Can't squeeze blood out of a turnip on SCO Fails to Produce Evidence · · Score: 1

    Maybe not, but I believe the SEC takes a dim view of such things. Unfortunately, I am not a shareholder, so I have no standing to go to the SEC on this particular issue.

  4. Re:uh.. on SCO Fails to Produce Evidence · · Score: 4, Funny

    Not bad, but you forgot the line

    * SuSE[UL] is now novell[SuSE]

  5. Fiduciary Duty on SCO Fails to Produce Evidence · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Seems to me that RBC (and any other investors) have a decent lawsuit against SCO.

    With a $3Billion (pinky to mouth) lawsuit at stake, the friggin' directors couldn't give up their holiday vacation to provide info that the Court specifically ordered them to? Now, IANAL and IANACPA, but that would seem to be a breach of fiduciary duty!

    #include
    It's worse than that. In the 5 December hearing, the judge ruled that they can't ask for ANY of IBM's stuff until they provide answers to IBM.

    Tibbets' declaration seems to say, "give us the stuff you said we can't have, and then we'll give you the stuff you told us we had to provide".

  7. Re:It's an insane decision. on Disney Shuts Down 2D Animation Studio · · Score: 1

    Didn't they use part of the Stargate score?

  8. P2P Killed Disney on Disney Shuts Down 2D Animation Studio · · Score: 1


    If it wasn't for all of those Evil Content Pirates(tm) stealing Disney's stuff and putting it on P2P, they'd have money to pay those poor 2D animators!

  9. It must be Wednesday. on Exxon And Timex Release The Speedpass watch · · Score: 1

    I thought RFID was evil. Then I remembered that today was Wednesday, and RFID is cool.

  10. Re:Don't bet on a buyout. SCO will die alone on SCO Files Response To Demand For Evidence · · Score: 1

    IBM will turn SCO into a smoking crater in Lindon UT, and then buy the remains at the fire sale, when nothing will go to Darl, Ralph, or Chris.

    DISCLAIMER: The above is opinion only. Any factual statements are purely coincidence.

  11. Re:mirror mirror on Novell Releases SCO Letters · · Score: 2, Informative

    Groklaw's been translating them from PDF and posting them.

  12. Re:And SCO plays copycat again on Novell Releases SCO Letters · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well, I guess that depends on if you count lawyers *as* people.

    I'd assume that most don't.

  13. Re:Maybe all of this... on AMD's Roadmap revealed · · Score: 1

    Well, I don't think they can use "Octium", because it was used for a chip on "The Lone Gunmen".

  14. Re:Gotta remember on Mars Rover Sniffs First Hint of Water? · · Score: 1

    Nope. It was in the novel 2001. Don't have the exact quote, but it's something like:

    "How necessary the relationship 1:4:9. And how naive to think that it ended there". Or some such.

  15. Re:Here's the proof on SCO Responds to OSDL Legal Aid Announcement · · Score: 1

    Their proof is here.

    No, it's not a goatse troll.

  16. Re:To paraphrase... on Space Station Leak Found, Fixed · · Score: 1

    Actually, they removed the hose. They didn't duct tape it.

  17. Re:More permanence may not be best on Chemists Crack Secrets of Mussels' Super Glue · · Score: 2, Funny

    Kill all the geckos and mussels!

    The geckos, anyways! I absolutely hate those bloody insurance commercials!

  18. Re:Ah what it is to have friends on IBM, Intel Set Up $10m SCO Defense Fund · · Score: 1

    If SCO goes after google, a well recognized name outside tech circles and gets thumped in it's first big, real court battle...

    And IBM isn't a well recognized name outside of tech circles?

  19. Re:OK, I admit it. on Colorization of Mars Images? · · Score: 1

    Sure, I bet Buzz Aldrin helped you with the coverup...

  20. Re:idiot voters on Touch Screen Voting Trouble in Florida · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I know it was a joke, but... you've bought into the two party zero-sum game.

    To be honest, I think both the Dems and the GOP are idiots. So I vote third party.

  21. Re:let's get this out of the way first on Bush To Announce Manned Trip To Moon, Mars · · Score: 1

    I don't know. I don't think that there are any whalers on the moon... yet...

  22. Re:Thank you Miss Clavel? on SCO Gives Notice To 6,000 Unix Licensees · · Score: 1

    Didn't see the movie, but read the books to my girls many times when they were younger.

    Of course, I'd love to see Darl & co in "two straight lines"... IN JAIL!

  23. Re:Uh.. light a match? on ISS May Have A Leak · · Score: 1

    Apollo 1 was pure 02 at 14psi (sea level pressure). Nobody realized that the test would have that level for quite that long a time period. In flight, the pressure in Apollo CM was 5psi pure 02.

    Note: I have just finished reading "Angle of Attack", "Failure is not an Option", and "A Man on the Moon". That's why I can spout that factoid off the top of my head.

  24. Re:bump on ISS May Have A Leak · · Score: 2, Informative

    That was Apollo 16. The potassium enhanced OJ that they gave the crew gave them enhanced flatulence. Not a good thing in a small 3-man capsule.

  25. Re:Now. on DVD-Jon Completely Clear · · Score: 1

    No, I was referring to the lack of willpower to sustain a boycott.
