For what it's worth, I believe in legalized marijuana. I think we create more deaths in the black market by outlawing it rather than just letting people kill themselves with it.
Marijuana doesn't kill. What you assert is FUD. So, go away.
The funniest part (for me) is that it's a trivial first-fit algorithm for (in the Unix V6 source code) memory allocation, that has be written and rewritten by really a lot of people and documented in various textbooks (Lions' Commentary, Tanenbaum's book about Minix). Definitely not something SCO could claim "Intellectual Property" for.
Gentoo is only a hobby distribution, simply because companies cannot afford recompiling Gentoo for 2 days. Face it, this takes quite a lot of time, and time is money. That's business. That's why my company only deploys Debian and RedHat installations, simply because they're done quickly. No customer wants to pay 960 euros for a Linux installation, but 120 euros (given that one hour of work costs 60 euros, that's what we charge to most customers) are still OK. That's business.
Decompilation is explicitly allowed in Austria, to (re-)establish interoperability, even in the revised version: http://www.parlinkom.gv.at/pd/pm/XXII/I/images/000/I00051__3097.pdf
And this revised copyright law is an implementation of the EU directive!
Although is posting is moderated as funny, this guy is absolutely right. I think, all the cooling stuff that is put into x86-based PCs in these days is just the wrong way. Computers should be well-designed (I'm speaking of the hardware, not the case), and when CPU manufacturers can't produce CPUs that stay cool enough with only a passive cooler, then they shouldn't sell these CPUs. I mean, powerful computers can be built without this botch. For example, all the computers built by Apple, or the VAXstations that were built by DEC. VAXstations were pretty powerful machines (especially the VS4000 series), and they came without any passive coolers. Only the PSU had a fan, which was extremely silent. And the VAXstation was a much more powerful computer than a PC at the time they were built.
Actually, glibc only uses linker warnings for a few functions. In contrast, dietlibc warns of many other functions, e.g. unportable functions like sendfile, security risks like system and {tmp,temp}nam, functions introducing bloat into your programs like all stdio stuff, and so on.
As soon as they start offering licenses for the Linux kernel, and they don't have an agreement from you that SCO is allowed to license your code (as you are co-author) under another license than the GPL, you can sue them. For more information about this, write to ffs@ffs.or.at. Although we (the FFS) are the Austrian Associate of the FSF Europe, we have a very good jurist in our team, who should be able to help you out. Just write that Andreas Krennmair told you about this.
A sign that clearly shows how successful the legal action against SCO Germany was is SCO Germany's website.
And I can tell you, SCO is going to get even more big problems with the assertion that SCO will license Linux to companies. Since SCO doesn't own the complete copyright to Linux, licensing it under a different license than the GPL and earning money with these licenses is a crime in Germany and Europe. This can get the CEO of SCO Germany 2 years in prison.
For example: the stars cannot be seen because there is no atmosphere on the moon. Earth's atmosphere deflects light due to its inconsistent density. That's also a reason why stars glitter [is that the right word? I'm not a native speaker].
The other "proofs" are only evidences, since (a) the photos shown are very low resolution (b) they are digital images, so the pictures or details in it could have been faked. After thinking about these facts you will soon know that the whole "the NASA never landed on the moon" crap is just total bullshit.

Windows 1.0 look different than Windows 2.0, which looked different to Windows 3.0 and 3.1, which looked different to Windows 95. So what?
That's not important. Will it have enough storage space for my pr0n collection?

use non-uniformed special forces
That's what the British SAS sometimes does, BTW.
"Otzi" is a nice cute name.
Otzi got this name because the Hauslabjoch, where he was found, is part of the Otz-Valley alps.
In fact, Otzi is so popular, even a DJ took his name, and got quite successful (I won't comment on the quality of the music, though).
So, what's the advantage of Gentoo then. When using binary package, Gentoo is yet another distribution.

That's the wrongest thing you could do. It would show SCO that they are right in some way. That should not be.
Just go to Europe, where SCO's CEO would go to prison if he licensed Linux under another license than the GPL.
Well, Microsoft (and Bill Gates) _did_ use Usenet in the past: http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=8642%40micros oft.UUCP&output=gplain. And Bill is posting from another guy's account. :-))
They don't even have active coolers. I know it, since I own one.

Not in most parts of Europe. The copyright there explicitly permits disassembling and reverse engineering.

In 1996 I think, Microsoft did order 200 copies or so of some distribution done by Caldera.

The book "Unix Network Programming" by W. Richard Stevens says so.
In fact, RMS himself coined the term "POSIX" (before that, it was called "IEEEIX" *sigh*).

The German webserver of the SCO Group GmbH is currently unreachable.
The webserver says this for several weeks now.

The right to respond is actually a good thing. It is a protection against slander in newspapers and on websites.
This is boring already.
