It sounds like Sun doesn't have faith in their own product line
Or maybe the US system of punitive damages plus Juries gone amock is the problem?
Or take another example: The latest Power Black out! Cost 3-4B$. Maybe it was a computer somewhere that had somethng to do with it. Let's try and sue the software maker and see if he will settle.
Try the WTC attack. The insurance clearly states that anything of a similar nature within 72 hours is to be regarded as One Incidence and as such one payment. By no the underwriter is being sued for double as there were two planes.
WHAT THE FUCK WAS THE CLAUSE THERE FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE. FUN?
Try and find a company that willing sells semiconductors into the medical sector?
I could go on.
Your comment is clearly illinformed or maybe ment as a Troll.
The socket on the BTX board shown has 250 or so extra pins that was "explained" by Intel to be for Power reasons.
There is a story floating on the net that this is not so.
However it is likely that it for axtra bit in and out IE maybe the Secret Yamhill project is still alive and if not kicking at least not dead.
Yamhill is if you remember the Intel backup solution for 64bit using the AMD Opteron model.
Notice he said Pay as in increase their cash flow.
The fastest way to kill off SCO would be if everyone that Owed SCO money didn't pay on time for one reason or other.
Nothing I means Nothng kills a company faster than a cash crunch. They probably have lines of credits contingent on certain cash reserves etc, once you dib below a certain threshold it ALL becomes due, and the castle crumbles.
It's like a run on a bank.
If you have any legitime historic dealing with SCO call them with one problem or other and with hold payment until fixed. They can't cope with this and they will be out of cash in a few weeks.
Yes your are right that most of these things disappear as a concerted high profile effort but the individual boycotts often continues
I for one have not bought Nike in 5 years and never will, I refuse to see a Disney movie and have done so for a few years now,
In 1985 while vacationing in Red River New Mexico I had a dispute with Local Texaco Station that were price gauging due to a local issue. Wrote corporate Texaco that ingnored the complaint. I have not visited a Texaco station since.
I am sure we all have little "Shitlists" like that. So even thought the Texaco's of this world is unaware of my Boycott they do lose revenue.
That being said I think SUN is using some SCO code and have payed them same amount for years.
There is only general trend connection between revenue and profit, no logical connection.
It's an equation with 3 variables and you need two to get the third. Cost is unknown, and I suspect they have fired or let go pretty much all people related to Code production. .
Is SCO hurting their court case by being big mouths
Sure they do, notably in the case filed by Redhat
The IBM case is a little more focued around what constitute "Derived Code" so maybe less so there.
That being said the 10'th claim in IBM's response states that SCO is not intitled to any relief since they didn't do anything to mitigate damages. The latter is an affirmative defense, and the fact thay took the time and effort to release press release after press release yet did nothing to mitigate the alledged damages makes it almost impossible for them to win this case
Lastly they have to crawl the first 9 barrieres first.
If you are so 1337 why don't you try and post some intelligent comments.
I looked at your other/. contributions an this silly rant is, at 2, one point higher that every other comment you posted.
Maybe the "review" was just to bring a special author to the attention of a bigger crowd. I personally enjoy reviews as I get pointers among the higher ranked comments to authors that I might like.
Very interesting article here that SCO have little information on how the origin of Sys V. code.
This will backfire big time at the trial or maybe as soon at the alledged Offending Code leaks after discovery.

I agree with you that gun access is a major problem, however we can not get rid of guns in the US. Good, bad or indifferent.
It's like a species that "climbed" a competitive hill in the mutational state-space. You can't climb down, you are stuck with where you are.
There is no Silver-Bullet (sorry for the bad joke) that will fix the problem if indeed it is a problem.
We need to accept the fatalities that happens as a consequence, just as we accepts the 50.000 or so people getting killed in trafic each year.
There is no political will to make SUV's safer even though they kill three orders of magnitude more people than stemming from Game violence (assuming for this argument it is indeed the game makers fault)so why screw around with it
Do as Bjorn Borg did when a Tennis ruling went against him.
Nothing!
He didn't let it bother him as he figured that over time it would even out. Favorable and unfavorable. So he gained vs his competitors by not letting it affect him

Here is a link to above story about possible 64 Bit Yamhill processor in the works.
There is a story floating on the net that this is not so. However it is likely that it for axtra bit in and out IE maybe the Secret Yamhill project is still alive and if not kicking at least not dead.
Yamhill is if you remember the Intel backup solution for 64bit using the AMD Opteron model.
Here is how:
Break up any mp3 files into say 10 RAR and calculate MD5 for each part plus total.
Name the 10 parts equal to their MD5 number
Make small Identity file that contains above plus all of the normal mp3 ID's like Name, artist etc.
Make small plug in that disallows for any more than 3 or so of the parts to be made available for up load and obviously never the total mp3 file.
Make small script that takes Identity file as input and as output automatic tries to find and download all MD5 pieces.
Once retrieved combine and play.
If real fancy you could make the "Encryption" / "decryption" function DMCA proof, so RIAA can not legally tamper with it.
I am sure we can elaborate but you get the idea.
I guess at least some of the idiots buying the stock will look at their "Cash on hand" and Receivables.
Those metrics will tell the real story.

Nothing since SCO do not own any patents.
This has been pointed out quite often. The issue is copyright.
Failing memory rather.
I was too lazy to look at the Knoppix site and I didn't have my CD handy. Thanks
Support is included in the lates Knoppix 4.2 release.

FYI, The burden of "proof" is on the one making the allegation.
We do not have a system where you have to prove your innocence, at least not yet.
No but I am glad you "caught" (sorry) it as it is indeed funny.

If you like old cars that is. The Growth strategy consist of 5 photos of different cars.
Thought I should die laughing whan I saw it. Do they really show grown- ups this shit?
I could only manage the first few lines but some brave soul might be able to read the whole drivel.

In the words of McNealy way out of context.
"Get over it"
Nothing!
He didn't let it bother him as he figured that over time it would even out. Favorable and unfavorable. So he gained vs his competitors by not letting it affect him

This guy looks the same on all photos.
Loved the Woody Allen move. Thanks for reminding me.
Get a grip, whomever could they have used that would not have offended some PC group of people.
He looks like Dennis the Menace that is as Middle American as you can get. Nuff Said
