People or Companies who have given SCO money should not be called "investors" by any stretch of the definition. Lottery ticket holders perhaps or maybe conspirators, depending on their motivation and expectations.
innovation primarily comes from big companies like Oracle
Just the other day I was reading that Microsoft is readying new technology to stop web popup's in their browser - this sort of fast paced innovation is what we can expect from leaders within an industry.

But the problem with trade secrets is that they are just that - secrets. So in order for IBM to prove SCO is misusing trade secrets is to request again via discovery their secret material.
So could Linus stand and say "SCO you have used my code in your openserver (or whatever its called) product. Therefore by the power invested in me via discovery please hand over your code for review!"
[t]o promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts,open-source advocates argue against copyright and patent laws, and whatever measures they take to by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.
Propaganda in additioned to flawed logic often resorts to poor writing style. Since the intent is to mislead and lie, paragraphs and sentences are constructed to misguide the reader with assertions that implied but false.
SCO has requested "all versions or iterations of AIX". Why can't IBM request all recent versions or iterations of SCO products to look for inclusion of GPL code? There has been some evidence that such inclusions or copying has occurred.
From this article is one the best quotes from Linus yet:
I'm a big believer in copyrights," Torvalds wrote in an e-mail interview. "Of all the intellectual property (laws), copyright... is the only one that is expressly designed so that individual people can (and do) get them without having scads of lawyers on their side."
"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," he wrote.
This latest little piece from SCO tops anything the Iragi Info Minister ever spun.
First please take note SCO the GPL is based on the notion of intellectual property (that would be the stuff you are trying to highjack) and firmly rests on Copyright law.
As far as "the motive of profit is the engine that ensures the progress of science" from whence do you quote this little jewel. I am sure after Einstien sent in his little paper he was thinking "oh boy if I pull this on off I will be set for life".
My wife spends $20 a day on google adwords and overture for her online store and I occasionally check the server logs.
I can tell you that both will record multiple hits from the same IP address as multiple hits (at least up to a dozen). I have contacted them both on this issue and they assured me they have "means" of identifying someone abusing the system. Neither would not tell me what their "means" are. I can assume also that neither are too concerned that abuse is prevented because it does improve their bottom line, just as long as it does not become too prevalent that advertisers lose their trust.
Your reference is for a four point system which is a more stable system.
If you draw a free body diagram for the single wheeled system you will see that there is nothing to counter the moment that is generated between "adhesion patch" and the centriod of the body when riding in a normal vertical position. Braking can only be achieved by first moving the center of gravity back from the vertical before applying braking. I guess the vehicle would have to accelerate slightly to move the rider back from the verticle before braking.
In reference to your bike (btw the link was broken) imagine if you had to brake with only the front tire!

Does anyone remembers the MS commercial which was a spoof on the VW Golf commercial? The one where the guys are driving around find a chair on the side of the road, they pick it up but soon discover it stinks then drop it off and keep going?
In Microsoft version Gates and Steve driving around in the Golf and see a Sun server on the side of the road (thrown out as garbage) so they stop and pick it up only to realize it too stinks and they stop and drop it off and keep going. It was admittedly a funny parody.
The commercial however ends as the Golf turns a corner. I always thought a fitting end to commercial would be that as they turn the corner the car is completely obliterated by semi-truck at a high rate of speed which they evidently pulled out in front of and did not see. Then the last clip shows the inside of the cab of the truck with a penguin driving, jumping up and down wildly on the seat, while listening to Born to Wild playing at high volume.

Let me take this time to inform you that my company Hammer Inc. has a US Trademark and copyright on the term "penis enlargement" and a patent on our exclusive fully herbal penis enlargement treatment plan. All those other companies are violating our establish copyrights and infringing on our patent. We have very strong IP rights in this area let me assure you.

The fact remains that I could be pulling in $150,000 as a programmer on the open market. But I make a third of that. So why am I risking a prison sentence or the potential of a lifetime in witness protection for a job that doesn't make me all that rich? Simple: When you start making a lot of money, you get noticed by the biggest bullies on the block - the cops and the IRS - and I don't want that. I like living below the radar.
Ah if you are working in the "open market" than you do not have to worry about "living below the radar".

I don't fork over any taxes. When you get right down to it, I'm an idealist. I don't condone the actions of the US government. By refusing to pay taxes, I withhold my financial support. And, truth be told, I like mobsters. They're more willing to accept you at face value.
There you have it a moral mobster. Someone who does not condone the actions of the US government but overlooks the actions of the mob.

The Open Source Community has a huge chip on its shoulder...called Microsoft
While painted as a negative i would say that "chip" is a great motivator.
Also, someone should let the author know that Microsoft is second fiddle these days, SCO and firmly, albeit temporarily, taken their place.
