IBM Gives SCO the Works
·
· Score: 0, Offtopic
In accordance with the Court's January 18, 2005 Order, IBM identified and extracted from CMVC all of the source code, documentation, and other information related to the AIX operating system, built an AIX server loaded with the appropriate version of CMVC along with the source code and documentation related to the AIX operating system, tested the system to ensure it was functional, and delivered and installed the server to allow access to SCO.
I really don't like MXS as much the any other good slashdotter would. However, I can see that what they are doing, no matter how wrong, has some benifits.
They are hopefully going to be the final deadset example for what happpens to companies who violate the GPL.
Please, any lawyers (with or without attached lasers) do whatever you have to do to make this a landmark case.
Rough text transcript of Larry Page's speach. '??' means I couldn't hear it.
I typed this out, but don't blame me for stuff thats wrong, reply to it to correct it. Or Google anything you want to know from it;-)
I have no idea about copyrights, but it's Larrys speach, and I would bet deaf people have the right to see it.

Well thank you, it's a pleasure and honor to be here, and I don't know I think we're in trouble with details ?? the most authoritative source.
It's really kind of amazing to be here 10 years after I graduated, in 1995, from the electrical engineering and computer science department. [cheers] I have so much I want to say to you in a really short time, and we're going to go though it pretty quickly. Before I do that there is something I wish I was able to do at my graduation. You have tons and tons and tons of people here to supporting you. I'd like you all to get up and wave to your support, family, friends, and everybody.
I am deeply indebted to Michigan. Let try to give you a little of my history. One thing we didn't mention is my parents actually met here cleaning a car. So I really thought we should give them some thanks for that. ?? My dad actually said to me when I was deciding what school to go to "Well Ill pay for any school you want to go to as long as its Michigan" I have to admit this had a significant impact on where I ended up going. I'm also indebted to Michigan which was amazingly advanced in computation and this had been going on for a really long time. I remember using Zaptor? Which you guys probably don't know about, but in 1993 we had instant messaging, in the computer labs. Somebody would arrive, you'd know when they left, where they were. and you could instant message them, just like you do now on the internet, but that was in 1993, not today. In fact the main ?? speaker John ?? Brown, graduated in 1970, computer and communication sciences, which wasn't the normal kind of degree to have in 1970. In fact my dad graduated with his PhD in '65 also from that department having one of the first degrees like that to be awarded. I also learned from my father his electrical engineering assignments he would bring home he's 9 years older than me, and he went here as well, and I had learned how to do them all 9 years early. Its pretty helpful, made the classes a lot easier. I got great leadership training in ?? selling doughnuts apparently, that aparently still goes on here. One relaxing summer and I built an inkjet printer out of legos witch I recommend to everyone. If you have some extra time on your hands.
I also got a deep and relevant engineering education, just like all of you, and that's been very valuable in the time since I left Michigan. With good and lasting values, which I know a lot of you probably don't understand because your here, but its not true about everywhere people are nice and will talk to you and generally do the right things. Many of Goggles early employees came from Michigan too and I've really tried to give back to the university in anyway I can. I have been on the advisory board here and I'm sure I'll do other things in the future.
Now, I need to know a little more about you guys before I continue, so how many of you? I'll ask the graduates and the audience here, 'How many of you work, or will work, in Michigan?'
That's a pretty good number.
Alright, How about, 'Work or will work for a really big company?'
Uh huh, even more.
How about 'Work or will work for a start-up?'
Oh, that's a pretty good number.
Uh, 'Will go to grad school ?? ?'
Did I miss anybody else? Raise your hands.
OK well I thought that would cover most people.
How about, 'How many of you are Women?'
Yeah.
Alright, alright. How about 'Work or will work for Google?'
We got a couple in the audience too.
Help me out a bit. 'How many of you would consider working for ?? the ?? engineering ?? ?'
Could work but it's not likely, and not obviously not in Germany.

Wouldn't it be easy to setup some kind of alliance to stop this? Just have enough companies band togeather to cover bandwidth costs if one of them is attacked. Critical mass will be where a sustained DDoS attack will not be possible across the aliance. I would imagine many companies could benifit from such a plan, as many would be happy to sign up. Perhaps even Google?
While I'm at it, here's the low-down on the actors. M.E. Hart, the engaging rapper had a gig on a television show "In Our Lives" but was soon cancelled after this video was made. I'm not going to pick on him because after reading his bio, he had a rough life in his childhood. Seriously. I'm sure this video didn't help. He's moved on and is now a lawyer in DC and speaks out against child abuse. As for Maria Allen and Jimmy Todd, I can't find anything on those two. I'm assuming that they have gone on to mediocrity or are currently working at Dunkin' Donuts. Interesting note is that James Todd is the real name of LL Cool J. Now why couldn't they have used him instead?
