Why of course, SCO realizes that they are SOL, as in the Single Optimized Leader in the IT industry, the wellspring from which immeasurable intellectual property has sprung, and agent of change which is reshaping the operating systems landscape.
IT consumers everywhere would be wise to scoop up those SCOSource licenses while they're going fast...
*eyes return to normal*
Trust me, dude, they are not just SOL, they are circling the toilet bowl. This astroturfing stuff has no chance whatsoever...
It's a sad day indeed when these measures are being taken at the Statue of Liberty. Unfortunately, I think we've crossed the line into a new age of insecurity within the US. It's something many other parts of the world have lived with for quite a while, but it's now a difficult reality here.

Ironic? One giant, low-cost corporation seeks a market opportunity left open by a giant, high-cost corporation. Sounds like everyday business to me...
Consider it an investment in a collector's item, like an original pet rock from the 70's. Years from now, people will look back and say "you actually used to buy a license for that?"
Plus, another site that wasn't mentioned, Innovation Futures, offers prizes for successful traders. They are currently running some markets related to Google, and a couple months back, I won a Tablet PC in another contest run there...
An interesting point - could someone in this situation move to a state that strongly opposes these clauses, and work from there? That could make for an interesting climate for start-ups (hence, I imagine, why California has Silicon Valley).
It's the time-honored practice of many TV, shows, so really this isn't surprising. Kinda like when the Fonz used to show up on Laverne & Shirley, right?
Also, I remember very vagually that there are laws about getting a computer buying and selling automatically, to try to curb this?
There are curbs put on automated trading programs to prevent single-day surges or plummets in prices. That is to prevent the self-fulfilling problem you mentioned...
I don't think security is the only concern, but reliability as well. A few more examples like this, and the at-large public will become more skeptical...
And don't forget that instead of merely reflective tinfoil, you can now protective yourself while wrapped in a wide variety of fashionable colors and designs...
Actually, while not charging them with murder, in recent years many cities have tried suing gun manufacturers over just this very issue. I don't think any have actually succeeded, however.
Agreed - maybe the traditional classes need to be updated to cover computer-related keyboarding skills (as I'm sure some do), but typing is still far-and-away the fastest, most accurate means of recording one's thoughts available.

Forget the (sic) part - the title of the document is indeed '0wnership'. This is a good case where those who don't RTFA will be totally off topic...

That's just wishful thinking...

You probably don't even need a special law for that - it sounds like basic insurance fraud, just an updated version thereof.

Well, it's the odd-numbered Star Trek movies that suck, if that helps...

Shame on me for trying to get a quick post up there before heading into a meeting. Well vetted...
Forget open - I'm lucky enough (in this case, at least) to work in the US for a Swedish company, so I should be able to view these just fine...

Hey, it's better than a 503...

That reminds me of all those SEC settlements, where the "guilty" party neither admits nor denies any wrongdoing...
Yeah, whatever!

Not to mention the use of embedded XP - hopefully it won't be embedded in the ground...

But that isn't champagne - it's more like ex- champagne!
How does the Frank Zappa lyric go?
I can take about an hour on the Tower of Power, as long as I get a little golden shower...

They could always use this bear as a test subject. He's already smarter than the average bear...
I work for a Swedish company, in which I've heard the following joke:
Q: How do you spot an extroverted Finn?
A: He looks at your shoes...
