  1. Re:SCO licencing unix code? on SCO Extorting Unixware Licenses to Linux Users? · · Score: 1

    they have thought it out it is all theirs that matters what was contributed by everyone else doesnt count for anything

  2. Re:Fighting back, FIRE WITH FIRE on How SCO Helped Linux Go Enterprise · · Score: 1

    this i would contribute to FUNNY

  3. Re:Clarification... on SCO Awarded UNIX Copyright Regs, McBride Interview · · Score: 1

    So the Linux distros are stopped,now what?How does linux move forward if they wont tell what offending code is in the kernel?

  4. Re:If Microsoft buys SCO, you folks are SO screwed on SCO Awarded UNIX Copyright Regs, McBride Interview · · Score: 1

    No really M# would have all kinds of DOJ people after them if they bought SCO the party would turn very interesting then

  5. Re:The scary thing on SCO Awarded UNIX Copyright Regs, McBride Interview · · Score: 1

    No they want a guardianship type appointment so they can control the releases .with enough IP copyrights this might be possible with courts of today

  6. Conflict of Interest? on House Bill to Make File-Sharing an Automatic Felony · · Score: 1

    Isnt Berman the one that is an author also?Wouldnt this be a conflict of interest?

  7. Wonder How Long Tho on Wal-Mart Cancels RFID Trial · · Score: 1

    http://www.technewsworld.com/perl/webstory/?sn=224 8777&cat=chips here is hoping we can control it's use here in the USA

  8. Re:Look, they're not stupid. on Linux vs. SCO: The Decision Matrix · · Score: 1

    Right so they appoint SCO as guardians of the Linux code.If you think about this it is because our society has been conditioned to think you arent too smart if you arent making money and are giving something away for free cause nothing is free in life.Free as in freedom to use as you see fit.Alien thinking to the business model.they are going to try to show that this proves that Linux cant control the source of its code so it needs better controls.IBM is smarter than SCO is my one hope .

  9. Next Big Event on SCO Taking Linux Discussion To Japan · · Score: 1

    is supposed to be a press conference Wednesday where SCO is going to tell the Linux companies about the licensing structure they are going to set up.My image of this case is that they are going to try to show that linux is not controlled enough and needs to have a guardian appointed to make it comply with IP,copyrights and etal.Who better than the one that owns all the copyrights to unixware?This case could take some really interesting twists before being done.I am not saying that their is sco code in linux but that they want to raise the issue that their could be. The article on mozilla.org really lets you see where the argument is going

  10. Why Does SCO need to go to Japan? on Linus Torvalds about SCO, IP, MS and Transmeta · · Score: 2, Interesting

    http://www.eetimes.com/sys/news/OEG20030703S0026 Did the People ask to see the code?If they didnt will they have to sign NDA?Interesting things keep coming up.If it is just between IBM and SCO why do they even need to concern themselves with CELF?

  11. Re:Privacy implications are nill on Twist on DNA Privacy · · Score: 1

    The hospitals are taking DNA samples from all babies born now.They say that they destroy them after a certain amount of time but how does a person know that for sure?

  12. Re:It's simpler than that on FSF Statement on SCO vs. IBM · · Score: 1

    This is the danger as a judge likes to think things are controlled.Can SCO show that linux has been negligent in taking care of the license?If so the judge will think that an established company needs to be put in control to protect the way the GPL is handled?I am not trolling i am asking..Being fairly new to the computer world i have no formal training and starting out on windows was disaster after disaster and since discovering Mandrake Linux i have been so much happier.I really look for the SCO lawyers to try to show that people are being irresponsible about GPL and by starting with IBM a very big company maybe show that it is viral to all?I mean whoever thought free software could make money for businesses.That is alien to peoples minds

  13. Re:SCO is protecting Linux on FSF Statement on SCO vs. IBM · · Score: 1

    Right except they continued distributing after they knew the code was there.As a company that boasts of the importance of IP,copyrights and such they realized when they found the code that they should have stopped distributing themselves.If they wanted the code removed all they had to do was contact the right people and it would have been taken care of.I firmly believe there is more to this story and it is going to be a shocker

  14. Re:Interesting technology on RFID Explained · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Personally i have found that companies hire others to snoop in other stores to see what advantage a competitor has so yes i can picture them standing outside a competitors store analyzing the shoppers bags as they exit.My answer and response to this is to encourage all of my older friends to stand in line and insist on the removal of the tags before leaving the store cause older people seem to appreciate privacy and technology isnt as important to them.Can you imagine the employees having to explain these aren't bad to 80 year old ladies that think a robber can see what they have bought and is going to try to steal from them.

  15. Re:No, patents are LESS worrisome than SCO case on Law Professor Examines SCO Case · · Score: 1

    This is what i was wondering also.How would kernel developers even be able to file claims for infringement if SCO gets this all done behind close doors and gets ownership of linux in a roundabout and backdoor way. Probably am not being very clear in the way to say this as i dont fully understand it

  16. Web Mall That held Classes on IRC on Innovative Uses for a Computer Classroom? · · Score: 1

    We had a targeted group and taught free classes to sell the Mall Vendors Products. It made pretty good income for them.It is a way to to give them new ideas for maybe targeting online businesses

  17. Re:This is good. on SCO Protest And Anti-Protest In Provo · · Score: 1

    This might be the best idea i have heard so far to get national attention.Mcdonalds is a company that worries about image.If we knew a few more companies also the same thing could be done at them also. Also a note about the SCO protest they will be able to point to their own signs and say this is what most linux people represent.Do we want that image of us presented to a court?
