Just been looking at some slashdot pages from 1997... quote from the "Post your comments here!" form : "If you don't have anything worthwhile to say, don't say it. If people continue to abuse this feature, I will have to remove it."
It's 967AD and the restless SCO Villagers find a witch and are keen to burn her! A secret meeting with Microsoft takes place to see if they can...
SCO: SCO Code! SCO Code! SCO Code! We've found SCO Code in Linux! SCO LACKEY #1: We have found some SCO Code in Linux! May we burn it? SCO: Burn the users! Burn! Burn it! Burn its users! MICROSOFT: How do you know it is SCO Code? SCO LACKEY #2: It looks like it. SCO: Right! Yeah! Yeah! MICROSOFT: Bring it forward. GPL'd CODE: I'm not SCO Code. I'm not! MICROSOFT: Uh, but you are dressed as such. GPL'd CODE: They dressed me up like this. SCO: Augh, we didn't! We didn't... GPL'd CODE: And these aren't my comments. They're false ones. MICROSOFT: Well? SCO LACKEY #1: Well, we did do the comments. MICROSOFT: The comments? SCO LACKEY #1: And the copyright lines, but it is SCO Code! SCO LACKEY #2: Yeah! SCO: We burn it! Right! Yeaaah! Yeaah! MICROSOFT: Did you dress it up like this? SCO: No! No. No. No. No. No. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yeah, a bit. A bit. It does look like UNIX though. MICROSOFT: What makes you think it is SCO Code? SCO LACKEY #3: Well, it turned me into Windows! MICROSOFT: Windows? SCO LACKEY #3: I got better. SCO LACKEY #2: Burn it anyway! SCO LACKEY #1: Burn! SCO: Burn it! Burn! Burn it!... MICROSOFT: Quiet! Quiet! Quiet! Quiet! There are ways of telling whether it is SCO Code. SCO LACKEY #1: Are there? SCO LACKEY #2: Ah? SCO LACKEY #1: What are they? SCO: Tell us! Tell us!... MICROSOFT: Tell me. What do you do with SCO Code? SCO: Compile it! Compile it! Compile! Complie!... MICROSOFT: And what do you compile apart from SCO Code? SCO LACKEY #1: More SCO Code! SCO LACKEY #3: Shh! SCO LACKEY #2: BSD Code! MICROSOFT: So, why does SCO Code compile? [pause] SCO LACKEY #3: B--... 'cause its copied from... BSD? MICROSOFT: Good! Heh heh. SCO: Oh, yeah. Oh. MICROSOFT: So, how do we tell whether it is copied from BSD? SCO LACKEY #1: See if it builds with gcc? MICROSOFT: Ah, but can you not also build Linux with gcc? SCO LACKEY #1: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. True. Uhh... MICROSOFT: Does BSD come under the GPL license? SCO LACKEY #1: No. No. SCO LACKEY #2: No, its free! We can do what we want with it commercially! MICROSOFT: And what else are you free to use commercially? SCO: Bread! Apples! Uh, very small rocks! Cider! Uh, gra-- gravy! Cherries! Mud! Uh, churches! Churches! Lead! Lead! ARTHUR: Your Own Code! SCO: Oooh. MICROSOFT: Exactly. So, logically... SCO LACKEY #1: If... it... has... been released by us commerically,... it's made of SCO Code. MICROSOFT: Yes, and have you released it commercially? SCO LACKEY #2: Yes! In our Linux Distribution! SCO LACKEY #1: SCO Code! SCO Code! SCO Code! SCO Code! SCO Code! Burn it! Burn the users!
The great thing about it was that it appealed on so many levels. The following exchange shows what I mean...
Poster A : See, Neo is forced to question the very fabric of existance. He questions everything that we take for granted and reveals that the truth is vastly different to what we perceive to be true. Its an existential quandry, are we just figments of someone's imagination? How do we know that what we perceive to be "real" is what is actually reality?
Poster B : I like the bit where he fights an agent.
Yeah, share and enjoy, we dont need your lawsuits!
Share and Enjoy Share and Enjoy Boot up your box With our communist ploy To run your machine Free from emipres mean And when it breaks down And starts to complain About panics on boot Segfaults in your games There's no disk space free Missing initrd There's a memory leak CPU usage peaks And the docs are just Full of weird techie speak And you've got to stop, for the good of your health! We'll tell you, 'Learn C and fix it yourself'.

Oh how different things could have been...
If the trolls had time machines...
Mr Andreessen, welcome back. We missed you.
(I'm so sorry)
... that you've got to know these things when you're a king, you know...
Its like a receipt, but a deceipt is proof that you didn't purchase something.
They released it in their distro after they found it was there. Therefore, they have opened up the code.
Am I wrong?

;)
There you go. Boxing in Java. Don't see your problem...
If I was the RIAA, I'd set up a paypal donation page and say "Look, we'll ignore all the sharing that goes on if you make a few donations."
It's so crazy, it wouldn't work!
That's because AIX Is uniX ;)
I wonder if they'd accept tk421 ?
I promise to be at my post if they do!

GPL'd CODE: I'm not SCO Code. I'm not!

GPL'd CODE: They dressed me up like this.
SCO: Augh, we didn't! We didn't...
GPL'd CODE: And these aren't my comments. They're false ones.
MICROSOFT: Well?
SCO LACKEY #1: Well, we did do the comments.
MICROSOFT: The comments?
SCO LACKEY #1: And the copyright lines, but it is SCO Code!
SCO LACKEY #2: Yeah!
SCO: We burn it! Right! Yeaaah! Yeaah!
MICROSOFT: Did you dress it up like this?
SCO: No! No. No. No. No. No. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yeah, a bit. A bit. It does look like UNIX though.
MICROSOFT: What makes you think it is SCO Code?
SCO LACKEY #3: Well, it turned me into Windows!
MICROSOFT: Windows?
SCO LACKEY #3: I got better.
SCO LACKEY #2: Burn it anyway!
SCO LACKEY #1: Burn!
SCO: Burn it! Burn! Burn it!...
MICROSOFT: Quiet! Quiet! Quiet! Quiet! There are ways of telling whether it is SCO Code.
SCO LACKEY #1: Are there?
SCO LACKEY #2: Ah?
SCO LACKEY #1: What are they?
SCO: Tell us! Tell us!...
MICROSOFT: Tell me. What do you do with SCO Code?
SCO: Compile it! Compile it! Compile! Complie!...
MICROSOFT: And what do you compile apart from SCO Code?
SCO LACKEY #1: More SCO Code!
SCO LACKEY #3: Shh!
SCO LACKEY #2: BSD Code!
MICROSOFT: So, why does SCO Code compile?
[pause]
SCO LACKEY #3: B--... 'cause its copied from... BSD?
MICROSOFT: Good! Heh heh.
SCO: Oh, yeah. Oh.
MICROSOFT: So, how do we tell whether it is copied from BSD?
SCO LACKEY #1: See if it builds with gcc?
MICROSOFT: Ah, but can you not also build Linux with gcc?
SCO LACKEY #1: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. True. Uhh...
MICROSOFT: Does BSD come under the GPL license?
SCO LACKEY #1: No. No.
SCO LACKEY #2: No, its free! We can do what we want with it commercially!
MICROSOFT: And what else are you free to use commercially?
SCO: Bread! Apples! Uh, very small rocks! Cider! Uh, gra-- gravy! Cherries! Mud! Uh, churches! Churches! Lead! Lead!
ARTHUR: Your Own Code!
SCO: Oooh.
MICROSOFT: Exactly. So, logically...
SCO LACKEY #1: If... it... has... been released by us commerically,... it's made of SCO Code.
MICROSOFT: Yes, and have you released it commercially?
SCO LACKEY #2: Yes! In our Linux Distribution!
SCO LACKEY #1: SCO Code! SCO Code! SCO Code! SCO Code! SCO Code! Burn it! Burn the users!
Thats why they call it a welfair state, cos like its well fair.
You know, I think you're the first! My goodness, its an obvious one now I come to think of it... How has no one else come up with it?
where does the energy go?
Duh, it's combined with a form of fusion to produce all the energy they'll ever need!
The trade secret is the key to decrypt the content.
That is all.
According to one of the ops on the irc channel for suprnova, its down cos the feds are involved.
/. editors are a bunch of fuckwits when it comes to links like that.
But yeah,
Then why is it there?
Heh, and this got a "Troll" moderation.
This is actually the third page of the review! Goddammit, read the article if you're going to moderate comments on it!
Actually, its closer to 82%
Ummmm, its not a bittorrent problem, 'tard! When will the makers of Windows fix it should be the question...
Sorry, I missed the name of the filesystem, could you say it again please? ;)
I like the bit where Neo fights the agent.
Sorry, you'll have to buy the iCrap software suite for that. And to clean up the rubbish that leaves behind, install iWipe.
Found this, and was quite amused. Perhaps its going to be spookily accurate?

Boot up your box
With our communist ploy
To run your machine
Free from emipres mean
And when it breaks down
And starts to complain
About panics on boot
Segfaults in your games
There's no disk space free
Missing initrd
There's a memory leak
CPU usage peaks
And the docs are just
Full of weird techie speak
And you've got to stop, for the good of your health!
We'll tell you, 'Learn C and fix it yourself'.
