SCO owns the technology they're suing IBM over (or so they say), so SCO can do whatever it wants. For the actual lawsuit, their Linux distro is a lot of their evidence. Their take of this is "You all took our technology, now our Linux distro is unpopular".
Personally, SCO must have something up their sleeves. I mean, companies do some really stupid things, but I find it a little hard to believe that an entire group of level-minded computer geeks could convince themselves that they could win a billion-dollar lawsuit without some kind of evidence or reasoning we haven't seen yet.
And besides, it's GNU/SCO Linux anyways...

Phoenix and Mozilla both use the same interface. Phoenix just does a better job of it. Mozilla isn't bad, but Phoenix is definitely better. It's just Mozilla, Take 2.
You look at Phoenix, what it's growing into, etc., and you see that it's very akin to monolithic v. modular kernels. If you like having one large program, that's fine, but you can do it by starting with a leaner application and adding to it.

1) Making Gecko was probably the most beneficial thing Mozilla did. Netscape's rendering engine probably wasn't embeddable (sic?), and as much criticism as it gets, Gecko ain't half bad. An open source does not need something to build on, apparently. And, Galeon, Chimera, Epiphany, Phoenix and K-Meleon are all tribute to the Mozilla team *not* learning that lesson.
2) What system widgets would you use in X? System widgets are all used differently, don't always have comparable features, etc. Say, for example, the Mozilla team decided to use qt (God forbid). Mozilla would not be the de facto browser in GNOME, or KDE (konqueror). If they used GTK, they'd have lost most of the KDE crowd. It was probably the idea of someone who realized that implementing XUL everywhere was easier than using everyone else's system widgets elsewhere.

So let me ask you again; what SHOULD our federal taxes funRe:Role of Federal Gov't.d?
Let me ask you this: why do we give so much money to our federal government if all they should do is "protect our freedom".
Personally, I find picking on Iraq a far cry from protecting our freedom. You don't see any other democratic countries feeling the need to "protect their freedom". Do you have any idea how screwed we'd all be if everyone decided to exercise "pre-emptive defense"?!?!
1, this is not protection of freedom, this is us bombing them because we have a hunch that they might have decent weapons, and an even weaker hunch that they're stupid enough to fire one at us. 2, this ultra-liberal government you think we have doesn't exist and doesn't work. Governments take money and put it where it needs to go in all aspects of the economy, even if that means taking a little of your "good financial planning" and giving it to someone that needs it.
This will be most-likely modded as offtopic, rightfully so, but it is a point that should be considered.
And, even if their claim did have even a hint of validity (which it does not), UCB, AT&T, and DEC (aka Compaq) would all have just as much, if not more, right to sue by that logic.
Well, SCO now technically owns UNIX, so they're suing as the body that issued the license, not just another licensee.
They should use that mentality for everything...

Buy a Segway... Please

The car needs money, and gas: "It's easy, just get up and walk. You'll make it there eventually, and think of the health benefits!!!"
The laundry needs doing: "You just buy 3 gallons of Febreeze, and forget about washing. Clothes can only get so dirty, and let's face it, brown looks much better on you than white."
The Segway is $5,000 for about $500 of advantegeous value: "Just walk. Or bike, or blade, or skate. Sure, you may not like the exercise and work now... but would you do it to save $5,000?"
I hope Kamen felt terrible when he said that crap about the battery and that guy's response to the weight. If he used the mentality of "just do it yourself" to combat low battery life and heavy weight, we should use the menatility of "just do it yourself" to screw the Segway and lose some weight cycling/walking.
Yes, before significant amounts of ozone were produced, UV rays would have prohibited life developing on land. That's true.
But, that's not evidence that life formed in water. The evidence for that is the fact that we have water in us, that most of the substance that makes life is water.
Why would life develop with this enormous reliance on water if it developed away from water?
Likewise, DNA contains a rather uncommon mixture of somewhat exotic chemicals. If areas of the seas were found with features that contained large amounts of these chemicals, it would be strong evidence suggesting modern life originated from that area.
If scientific theories are correct, life formed out of a lot of time and specific events happening by chance. Rather than explaining how such an extraordinary chain of events happened, we should be looking for a place where these events aren't as extraordinary. A place where the creation of life is somewhat probable.
P.S. Saying that DNA is amazingly intricate and the nature of inhereted traits suggests an alien "seed life", or even worse, that God must have done it, is not correct.
Life came/originated/manifested itself here billions of years ago. The only life that would survive that long must have been life that could reproduce itself and create similar offspring. The alien/God argument is akin to having a box filled with different sized marbles, cutting a 20-mm hole, and claiming that there was some mystical force at hand, because when you shook the box only 20-mm and smaller marbles came out.
IOW, DNA isn't amazing or miraculous. It had to work that way.

See, that's their secret. If they don't sell a copy, they just say they didn't benefit, and it's all because everyone else actually makes good OS'es.
IMHO, if they sell even one damn copy, they should make a press release of it. We'll all be just as amazed as when they started the lawsuit.
