data link layer technology, like Ethernet, already has error checking built into it's frames, so why is there a need for another error checking at the higher transport layer?
We need lawsuits like this to show the world how silly DMCA is. I thought that they crossed the line with toners and ink cartridges but this one tops them all.
At least there's one Senator that wants to limit DRM and DMCA.
There's been cases where defense lawyers faulted the movie "Matrix" for murders so I wouldn't be suprised if the lawyers fault teachers for hacking and bombing cases.
Than SCO UNIX must GPL their code (unlikely) or strip it. The problem is, since you need to sign NDA to view it, you won't be able to let others know that SCO used Linux codes.
There are far more demand for Ferraris then Ferrari sales. Therefore, 40% of Ferraris out there are pirated versions.

Version E: SCO wins for some crazy reason, which means that Microsoft wins
Version F: SCO loses but the FUD lingers on among the CEOs and CIOs, which means that Microsoft wins
Only solution to this and the future problems is to have a tort reform to prevent companies from suing every one and asking questions later. Maybe civil cases such as this should be required to go through a grand jury system like the serious crimial cases to prevent parties like SCO from generating excessive FUD.
Maybe because their patent violation claim fell flat on its face due to the statements of Novell, maybe they are trying to buy time to engineer a copyright violation claim.

The Company has an arrangement with Novell, Inc. ("Novell") in which it acts as an administrative agent in the collection of royalties for customers who deploy SVRx technology. Under the agency agreement, the Company collects all customer payments and remits 95 percent of the collected funds to Novell and retains 5 percent as an administrative fee. The Company records the 5 percent administrative fee as revenue in its consolidated statements of operations. The accompanying October 31, 2002 and 2001 consolidated balance sheets reflect the amounts collected related to this agency agreement but not yet remitted to Novell of $1,428,000 and $1,894,000, respectively, as restricted cash and royalty payable to Novell. The October 31, 2001 balances were reclassified from cash and equivalents and other royalties payable to conform to the current year presentation.
This is SCO's admission that Novell owns Unix System V, all revisions - that's what they mean by "SVRx", and SCO pays Novell 95% of the royalties. SCO gets to keep 5% as administrative agent.
Just wipe yourself with SCO branded toilet paper made from 100% pure shredded incriminating SCO documents. I'm pretty sure their tp will be of better quality than their software because they specialise in BS.
Headline: SCO sues China for IP violations for using IPv6
CEO of SCO: We are suing China for 1 billion dollars because they are using IPv6 without licensing it from us.
Reporter: Does SCO own the IP for IPv6?
CEO: No but we do own a part (.005%) of ISP that assigns IPv6 addresses. Therefore, we believe that we own the contract rights to IPv6. We are also planning on suing Linus (again) because Linux has built in support for IPv6.

Can you list the links of these porn websites with the examples of these prior arts? I only want them for educational purposes, of course.

Now people can play lawyers on MMORPGs instead of Slashdot!
Their logic:
1. Burglars wear shirts, therefore shirts are burglary tools.
2. DeCSS is a burglary tool.
3. Therefore shirts = DeCSS.
You forgot this...
4)M$ will release M$ UNIX
5)The next day, users of M$ UNIX (former users of SCO) reports the first BSOD for UNIX in the history of UNIX.
SCO: We chose Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf as our new spokesman as he best represents the ideas and image of SCO.
Maybe SCO can buyback all the shares of itself once they drop to $0.01. Then SCO can just implode and disappear.
Didn't they use the same exact argument when VRCs came out?
Maybe because their patent violation claim fell flat on its face due to the statements of Novell, maybe they are trying to buy time to engineer a copyright violation claim.

I used S-A-R-C-A-S-M to highlight the ignorant claim.

So I guess installing MS Windows Servers and Workstations on the network is out of question?
I've seem plenty of sarcasms on Slashdot and maybe people don't get your sarcasm because it's a pretty shitty one?
"Computers in pubs? pfffffffft... why dont i just start bringing beer to work?"
I would not be suprised if they replace the bartenders with robots in the future, and bar sluts with sexbots...
Hummm Sexbots.....
