In the news today the California Supreme Court has ruled that Molyneux is a god and can ban gay marriage should he choose to; however, he may not, under any circumstances go against flimsy initiatives.
Kevin Mack's Top 10 Linus SCO quotes (in reverse order):
[thanks to Dee-Ann LeBlanc for the link.]
10. Not About IP "None of the SCO accusations have anything to do with IP rights; they're all about contracts between IBM and SCO. All the IP rights blathering by SCO was just that -- blathering"
9. Custody Battle "SCO is claiming parenthood of that child and now wants to make money off the earnings of that child. Even though SCO has refused to undergo the technical equivalent of DNA testing, and even though my (and other people's) DNA is probably all over Linux."
8. Lottery "we have to sadly decline taking business model advice from a company that seems to have squandered all its money (that it made off a Linux IPO, I might add, since there's a nice bit of irony there), and now seems to play the US legal system as a lottery."
7. Copyright Law "So . . . when he attacks the GPL as being somehow against 'financial gain', that notion that the GPL has of 'exchange of receipt of copyrighted works' is actually EXPLICITLY ENCODED in the US copyright law. It's not just a crazy idea that some lefty commie hippie dreamed up in a drug-induced stupor."
6. Raelians "SCO is playing it like the Raelians [the organization backed by Clonaid's founder, known as Rael], saying, 'We'll show you proof in a few weeks, through an expert panel that we trust.' Let's see if there is any baby or not."
5. Jerry Springer "Quite frankly, I found it mostly interesting in a Jerry Springer kind of way. White trash battling it out in public, throwing chairs at each other. SCO crying about IBM's other women.... Fairly entertaining"
4. Stealing Cars In Bright Daylight "Do you steal a car in the bright daylight with a lot of people around? Or do you steal a car, go for a joyride at 4 am in the morning when there aren't a lot of people around. With open source, there is a lot of daylight. A lot of people looking at the code. You don't really go around and steal things."
3. Constitution and Marriage "If Darl McBride was in charge, he'd probably make marriage unconstitutional too, since clearly it de-emphasizes the commercial nature of normal human interaction, and probably is a major impediment to the commercial growth of prostitution"
2. Smoking "They are smoking crack."
And number one, according to Mack...
1. Please Grow Up "we find your references to a negotiating table somewhat confusing, since there doesn't seem to be anything to negotiate about. SCO has yet to show any infringing IP in the Open Source domain, but we wait with bated breath for when you will actually care to inform us about what you are blathering about."
I guess AMD's engineer's didn't figure it was worth the cost to support more ram on their lower end chip where the typical user would never get near the limit due to costs anyways.
That sounds like, "640k should be enough for anyone!"
Funny laugh I had today-
It's also illegal to have the songs without a license, usually through the purchase of a copy of the original CD. Does the RIAA have licenses for all the songs they download? Given they have an access/control licenses of most kind for some of the music. I wonder if someone might sue the RIAA for downloading or having a representative downloading music on their behalf that they do not have authorization to.
Can they run MD5 checksums remotely? Are they built into file sharing applications?

And support the good guys!
Is it just me or does the new phrase make you all think of the educational toys I buy for my three year old?
If they see money, they're going to go for it. Morals carry you so far, then there's the power of the almighty dollar.
Or maybe just http://www.google.com/
Is it time for Windows to be abandon the business market?
Evidently you haven't checked the price of legos recently...
some poor soul was too lazy to log in for the mod points.

Hey! Easy on the pea-soup-eating comments!
Ah but you forgot the currency exchange! $150 Canadian is only $107 US!
Life just keeps getting better and better.
or... 10 PRINT "Press any key to continue." 20 INPUT A$ 30 GOTO 10 >RUN
I think you're talking about real coders. The same guys who would mod 700 linux babe [288k] when they /usr/bin/locate in /mnt/dreams right?
The best part of that page is that there is a "We're Hiring" link on the bottom.
Gotcha beat. 10" here. The "hard" not-so-floppy disk.
Any non-enthusiast could really take this coversation wrong.
