Subpeonas are fine, after you're sure that it's infringement. If the text strings have been changed, and the code run through VC++ rather than GC++, it's a pain to reconstruct the source. (Not impossible, done it often enough, but still a pain.) And easy enough to twiddle the source before handing it over if they're the only one with control of it.
With open source, it's no biggy to figure out when and where code came from. A fight with a closed source company is like a duel with a hermit crab.
They might be your only connectivity option, but they certainly aren't your only email option. The menu starts with a hotmail account and continues on past smarthosting.
Of course, any HTML tags in an email are a pretty good indication (along with other indicators) that it's spam and can be tagged and bagged. I do get an occasional valid email with HTML, but a little tuning or whitelisting will fix that.
So a fat lot of good all those HTML tricks do you, eh spammers? (Are spammers stupid? Yes! It's Rule #3.)
That sort of depends on how clean the air is. All that good exercise in smog isn't going to help too much. And do you have a fairly secure place to lock up your bike when you get to work?
When it hits users, they'll have an ultimatum. Upgrade within the next 180 days, or j00 are fux0red.
Slap a NAT-like converter box at the border of your network. Creamy IPv6 on the outside, crunchy IPv4 on the inside. Some network devices like printers won't be a simple software upgrade.
Assume that bosses at SCO are clueless and don't know if their underlings are working or not.
This was done before the lawyers took over the company (Dewie, Gougem and Howe?). They probably have no clue about anything that went on at Caldera/SCO outside their narrow focus of "Who can we sue/FUD next?"
I wish people who moderate redundant would check the posting times. When a new article opens up, there's a flood of posts within minutes of each other. There's no way short of Elron Super Powerz to know that someone else is about to post basically the same thing.
And I hope that all meta-moderators examine all redundant moderations in context.
..from the moment they went into competition with Microsoft..
And that was the problem: They weren't just in competition with Word, they were in competition with Windows, Word and Excel (later the rest of the Office suite). A lot of companies got whipsawed by the sudden shift to Windows 3.x like Lotus, dBase, Borland, etc. Microsoft was ready and waiting when the playing field changed. (*Their* playing field.)
First company to bring a commerical wordprocessor to Linux IIRC
I'm not sure about Linux, but when they brought Wordperfect to SCO UNIX, SVR 3.2.4, UNIXWARE and Coherent, it was still the WordPerfect Corporation (1993).
I got a couple copies of it too. They might have your IP from the access attempt, but how do they connect it with your email address unless they harvested both off of Usenet?

How will anyone be able to prove infringement if it's close source?
It's always interesting that he's a republician when he married into the Kennedy clan. (Okay, so it's not that interesting.)
She does have some sort of confirmation stage so that h4x0r-X can't "opt-in" a few thousand people, right?

The anti-filter "tricks" in this field guide are pretty old. I doubt any serious spammer doesn't know them already.
Is there such a thing as a modest McDonald's? "Try our fries, they're okay."
Trademarked? So he's going to be suing over that too? :^P
And the name for Pascal!
Keeping in mind the method of contact. If by email, "what email?". Anyone who attempts to deliver legal notification by email is an idiot.
And you're posting as an Anonymous Coward, why?
But then SCO will claim to own parts of your anatomy. (Of course, they're already basically claiming that, so not much difference there.)

There's going to be pockets of legacy hardware and software that can't be upgraded. Hide them behind a box while the rest of the world goes IPv6.

(Actually, SCO not issuing another legal cart00ny or FUD during a day would be news.)

Never mind all the fancy stuff, I think the basic problem is students and fairly clear table space.

I tried, but there was no response from www.evidence-eliminator.com. Narf!
