Google is great and all, but why do they think they can move onto being a moral authority or a standard-setter?
That doesn't seem fair to say. If a company throws morality to the wind, we bash them and write OSS versions of whatever it is that they did. But now a company is actually doing something morally good and trying to help the world at large... should we bash them for that too?
Your Honor, I present Exhibit A, a posting from "Anonymous Coward." Here he asserts that he is an expert in the realm of internet policy, and that the following facts are indeed true...
And here we have Exhibit B, the log file from the IRC chatroom #death2SCO...
And perhaps we should thank bin Ladin for increasing America's national security. Cause I feel much safer now. And heck, he's made headlines more than SCO.
Excellent point. Distractions at home can be numerous, and everyone knows it, especially pointy-haired bosses. Which raises all kinds of scary questions, like how will bosses keep tabs on how much work an employee is actually doing? Those "World's Smallest Camera!" ads come to mind.
And yes, I realize that many people are already working from home now, but it's still not the majority. Once (if?) it becomes as such, I bet we'll be seeing even more posts on/. about privacy matters.

The company has a tech consultation service, but the consultants spend half of their time programming.
And according to a recent Slashdot article, they spend the other half slandering competitors.

Charging for MT is keeping the shit off of the web.
There's not a price on earth that could stop that.
I use Firefox on both Linux and Windows, and flash plays fine for me.
But hey, if you want to hug Lynx while bashing Disney and Microsoft, you go right ahead. =)
While accusing everyone else of copying "their" code, SCO has meanwhile been caught copying documentation
Hypocrits? ONLINE? My gosh... what is this world coming to?

It's all a conspiracy, I tell ya! Huffy is in cahoots with Exxon...

I'm still wondering how Homer got his name mentioned in this article. Article -1, Offtopic
Ah, glowing red lights! The driving force behind gamers!
Good point. "Machine to the Max" is much more marketable.
But it WOULD market well to the anime junkies
Finding Elvis? Oh... well I guess the two are related...
I call it "research" *shines halo*
Somebody's been watching too much Star Wars...

And I've read a LOT of SCO articles.
