It thought that the case was settled and sealed without going to trial? If SCO is capable of winning the suit against a gaint like IBM with their shoddy evidance (as proven by their past proofs there were quickly debunked), than they will be capable of unsealing the BSD case and drag BSD through their FUD machine.
NT Kernel has built in drivers and utilites. Good luck trying to rip them out of the NT Kernel. What, did you actually thought that NT Kernel is small and efficent?
I never had to recomplie the knernel when I added a RAID card. Have you heard of moduels? And did nVidia go through Linus' selection process to get their GPUs and chipsets to work with the Linux kernel? Heck, you don't have to recompile the NT kernel (as if you'll be allowed to do so in the first place) whenever a new hardware is added to Windows, so why should you with Linux? You can complie the support into the kernel if you want or you can chose not to. Yes, it's called freedom to do whatever the hell that pleases you.
Only truth here is that you didn't do your research.
Maybe if every costarrican child read the nightmares associated with the "hanging chad" problem, they'll understand that you don't need electronic voting for electoral fraud. The electronic voting is a solution to the hanging chad but in this case, it looks like the cure is worse than the desease.
Perhaps open source voting software is the answer as the both parties and the public in general can aduit the code to make sure that there is nothing fishy going on.
After the extensive research of how IE directs bad names to MSN Search, we decided that we couldn't let the bastards at MS be only ones that makes money off of poor saps who can't type their URLs right.
We really don't give a rat's ass about what ICANN thinks but just to shut your whiney mouth off, I hires a review panel of leading experts in the field. They include Linux code reviewers from SCO, the guy who thought of domain parking for Register.COM, and the guy who invented One-Click shopping.
As to your call for us to suspend the service, I'd like to politely say "go fuck yourself" with the upmost respect ICANN's Chairman, Vint Cerf, and ICANN's Security and Stability Advisory Committee, Steve Crocker. Crocker, now that's a funny name, just like ICANN.
If you send any more letters, I will personally wipe my ass with it.

The same "independent" panel of industry leading experts recommends SCO's Linux license and conducted a study showing that Windows is indeed cheaper than Linux and BSD.
"their are companies who, from their birth, don't care about science or technology, or bettering life for their fellow man"
You know, there is a reason why they are called "for-profit" business instead of "non-profit.
Don't forget that IBM is also a for-profit mega corporation and they support and encourage Linux usage. Just as there are good and bad people in the world, there are good and bad businesses in the world as well.
"The market should decide whether or not that invention will be successful"
They already do. Otherwise, we'd all be drinking the New Coke and/or Crystal Pepsi.
How about drugs? And unprotected sex? I have pity for people who are born disabled but I have no pity for people who fried their brains because they chose to do drugs.
Of course, not all the people on welfare are druggies, just as not all the wealthy are greedy, unethical bastards. I don't mind giving a helping hand to those who are in a bad situation due to circumstances out of their control but there must be a system put in place (such as drug testing for welfare and making sure that welfare checks are not going to prisons, etc) that'll eleminate waste. There are people who trade food stamps for drugs out there and that's waste of taxpayers' money. If we can elminate the waste, then there will be more money to those who really need it.
The sad part is that I know many people who can't afford auto insurance, yet somehow manage to afford pot, smokes, and booze. Don't you think that it's fucked up that it's legal for your employer to test you for drug use while it's unconstitutional to conduct drug tests for people on welfare? If you want to support the druggies, go ahead and donate all your possessions to them instead of telling us what to do.
I'll have to agree with you on that one, as it is possible to run Office on "Linux" and therefore, by their logic, it would also be a "Linux" flaw. However, it would be correct to call it a MS flaw.
1. Outlook isn't a windows vulnerability, but it is indeed a MS vulnerability.
2. Same as above.
3. Same as above.
4. I guess that logic whould make you a Linux fanatic.
5. Same as #4
6. All modern Windows comes with IE which are, by MS's accout, inseperable part of the Windows. Therefore, IE vulnerabilities are Windows vulnerabilities.
7. Windows OS and Windows kernel is an intergrated product. You can't buy Windows with Win98 OS and NT kernel, whereas, it's possible to use Linux kernel with different OSes, desktops, etc.
8. I guess you've never been in the discussions about putting GNU infront of Linux as in GNU/Linux, have you? Besides, Linux was never an operating system and never will be. 99% of people on Earth can refer Linux as an OS but it that still doesn't change the fact that Linux is just a kernel.
Oh boy, you sure are an open minded person, aren't you. I guess what ever you say are the truth and if anyone disagress with you, it's a just a bash.
"If your only running a kernel, and nothing else, there is nothing TO exploit. Patches or no."
Why don't you stop taking my quotes out of line? I said that Linux kernel is not bulletproof and there has been patches out. I didn't say anything about just running the kernel and nothing else. But you do need to realise that Windows is a complete O/S where as Linux is not. And the folks at MS argued that IE is the part of the Windows OS so IE vulnerabilities are indeed Windows as they are one and the same. Sendmail or OpenSSH are not one and the same with Linux. It'll be a different story if they offically decided to compile them into the Linux kernel.
"when 9 out of 10 distros come with it"
Linus has the final say as what goes into the Linux kernel, not Red Hat, not Mandrake, nor any other Linux distro companies. And far as I know, I do not believe that Linus approved any "Intergrate OpenSSH and Sendmail into the Linux kernel" project at this point.

Didn't Bush, Sr. lost the re-election because he RAISED the tax?
I'll bet you that RMS never thought that the GPL would be defended in the court in a major case by a mega corp like IBM.
Only problem is that a business can Spam on behalf of it's rival to get the rival in trouble...
Pirated copies of Taguchi interactive software program that will run on a PC for only $99! And it'll also increase your penis size!

Because if SCO wins, they WILL come after *BSD. I believe SCO mentioned about this in the beginning of their FUD festa.
Earth may not be center of the universe as in beer, but it is the center of the universe as in freedom.
I thought that many slashdotters want MS to win this case? I guess there's no way to stop slashdotters from bitching.
If MS loses, they will bitch about stupid patent laws.
IF MS wins, they will bitch about how courts always go for big businesses.
No to mention the IBM's countersuit.

And what part of the freedom clause I mentioned did you get AC? Or shall I say stratjakt?

You've never used GNU/Linux before, have you?
