It's all in the marketing.
He should have offered it as a "diagnostic tool" for their Ad Words feature and offered them an "exclusive partnership" with this project for $100,000.
Here is my input to the Mars program:
If we keep increasing the size of the massive public debt it will eventaully collapse into itself creating a fiscal black hole. We can use this black hole to warp space-time and travel faster than interest.
Immediate profit motive can be an unreliable impetus for real innovation. Instead of focusing on real quality and good engineering you're sometimes forced into tie-ins, FUD, and other similar schemes to get short term results.
Sometimes large organizations can do a better job with this because they have recourses to invest in the long term work it takes to do it right. If there isn't any need to push quality forward because of market conditions then you just manipulate the market (advertising, FUD, differential pricing) to sell more.
The key to innovation doesn't really appear to be size as much as competition and patience.
I think we should avoid getting down on their level. Maybe we could just add dick jokes to all the linux kernel packages and patches and claim parody protection.
I think what we are overlooking here is the awsome power of the Schwarzenegger/Coleman ticket with Gary Coleman as Lt. Gov. If you are trying to balance a ticket with a giant austrian, you must have a black midget. Its the first rule of politics.
I think Hunter S. Tompson's corvette already did that one. I doubt either he or his lawyer gave any helpful commands to the car outside the city limits of LA.
And lets us fire the next volley. I for one, would like to see the SCO icon changed to reflect their corporate culture and thus better represent them. With that in mind let us use Mr. Goatse as a weapon agains evil.
I'm getting suspicious that they may have planted some tainted code into the kernel to extort these licenses. The writing has been on the wall for a while that they were in no position to make any real money, in a legitimate way, off of linux. Instead they plant a little of their own code, wait till it is rolled out to a few thousand companies, cry foul, and refuse to reveal the specific problem code since it will be removed immediately and replaced with something clean.
Don't assume they are stupid or are making a mistake.

I bet Katharine Gun will be delighted to hear that.

Slot machines work better than voting machines. Maybe we could get those guys to make them.
