Isn't this just another way of telling the RIAA, "Hey we don't want a settlement offer, please sue us into debt for life." I'm no fan of the RIAA but this doesn't seem like the answer to me. All the RIAA has to do is quit offering settlements to dodge this tactic.
I still have a copy of Caldera 1.3 with the Looking Glass Desktop and a copy of OpenLinux 3.1 that came in the mail so they won't even have to ask me for the source code since it's all SCO product.
Maybe not though. According to Dave Barry there's at least 14 or 15 people that are not on the internet yet. This type of campaigning would miss these people.
cc contact@ataconnect.org while you're at it to make sure they get enough copies to send to their friends. Everyone should probably forward their copy to darl@sco.com as well. He's hoping to have about $5 billion available that he could contribute to the campaign effort as well so I'm sure the candidates would really appreciate it.
According to Netcraft SCO has converted their webserver from Linux to NetBSD/OpenBSD. I suspect it was Caldera Linux they were running on and they probably felt their software sucked to bad to weather the impending DDos attack.
If they didn't, I hope they do catch whoever did. Darl McBride is a scumbag and SCO deserves to be run in the ground by IBM but if they succeed at anything I hope it's catching the asshole that wrote this virus and making an example of him/her.
Why exactly would anyone pick this Free-DOS thing over Linux?
Can't you see it? Michael Dell is trying to be the next IBM. With his new GPL'd software offering he is sure to move to the top of SCO's hit list and into the SCO Lawsuit Hall Of Fame. I'm sure Darl has his legal team drawing up the papers as we write. Hurry up and send Mike and email that says something like int i = 1 so Darl will think he has a case.
No need to get God involved on this one. This letter was obviously written for The Onion, someone just mistook it for a letter to Congress.
BTW, does anyone know where you can still get one of those pet rocks they used to sell in the 70's? From the looks of his letter, Darl looks like he could use a mentor to help him with his creative thought process.
And you can still get a copy at [url=http://cart.cheapbytes.com/cgi-bin/cart/00700 10833.html]chepbytes.com[/url]. Since linux is only the kernel and not the distribution that means you can get an indemnified copy of the kernel to run with your favorite distro for $7. That's a bunch cheaper than the $699 they want to charge if you use the kernel from some other source. I personally wouldn't want to use it since it came from SCO but you can get an indemnified kernel if you want. I wonder if it's still indemnified if you patch it to the current version...just thinking out loud.
Sure they are. Look at Darl McBride, not once has he informed us that he's reporting from the asylum. He still found a mountain of code, copied line by line from Unixware and he has the Linux developers trapped in their tanks retreating from the battle. What difference does it make where he says it from, he's still a nutcase either way.
Somebody please tell me what I'm missing here. In an interview with CNET Darl Mcbride says, "We're finding...cases where there is line-by-line code in the Linux kernel that is matching up to our UnixWare code," In addition, he said, "We're finding code that looks like it's been obfuscated to make it look like it wasn't UnixWare code--but it was."
Now Mr. Tibbits says they need recent AIX and Dynix/ptx code from IBM before they can comply.
Have they identified offending lines in the kernel source or have they not. Darl claims they have already matched code to the Unixware code and now they can't seem to reproduce it for the court. What's wrong with this picture?
And the best thing about it is that it uses SCO code licensed by Microsoft and now they're giving it away for free. This is a call to arms. All/.'ers now need to write Darl McBride and try to convince him that he needs to sue Microsoft too for giving away their code for free and decreasing the value of Unix. It should be pretty easy since he's such a nitwit anyhow. This could be great.
Does anyone know where I can get a copy of this specificity font the judge told them to use? If it fits everything that they were ordered to produce on 60 pages it's gotta be better than any zip program out there.

I didn't create the results you get, I only pointed out Google's result.
Google 'litigious bastards' and hit the "I'm Feeling Lucky" button...
We should all call the American Telemarketers Association (317-816-9336) to make sure they got the word.
Maybe not though. According to Dave Barry there's at least 14 or 15 people that are not on the internet yet. This type of campaigning would miss these people.
It's got better battery life than all the rest though...
Isn't that one of SCO's trade secrets? You better watch out or you could be next on their list...

Hmmmm, I wonder, is it possible to slashdot someone's phone? If you can't get thru try sending him a postcard.

Hoping and praying Darl doesn't come to his senses before he sues himself...

darlsecond (darl-se-k&nd) 1. The amount of time that passes before Darl McBride starts wondering who he can sue next.
