Novell Wins vs. SCO 380
Aim Here writes "According to Novell's website, and the Salt Lake Tribune, the jury in the SCO v. Novell trial has returned a verdict: Novell owns the Unix copyrights. This also means that SCO's case against IBM must surely collapse too, and likely the now bankrupt SCO group itself. It's taken 7 years, but the US court system has eventually done the right thing ..." No doubt this is the last we will ever hear of any of this.

I mean, their livers are probably shot, but I have to believe that there are other organs worth harvesting from the board of directors and the legal firm representing them.

Fuck Frosty Piss. He's a publicity whore no better than Darl. Shameless publicity whore with dirty knickers and a fragrant, sweaty crotch. He wanked in a grand way to this poo-poo. Head. Of. Penis.
And "who is Frosty Piss"? Just some unknown troll *that just happened to post to this story*? - YEAH RIGHT. I got a boner.
Reasonable people understand that Frosty Piss works for SCO. Reasonable people understand that there is no "Frosty Piss", that SCO farted out a screen name and went to a whorehouse where they knocked up the ugliest skank they could find. Nine months later, et voila! Frosty Piss.

Reasonable people understand that evidence is necessary to back up their spurious claims.
I fail to see how this has relevance to the spurious claim presented.

That's a valid question with respect to Novell, but asking how IBM can afford seven years of court costs is a bit like asking whether Sauron can stay up all night.

You're assuming said vocal chords are in the physical plane of existence. I see no evidence to support this theory. Darl is clearly a Greater Demon from the ninth plane of hell.

I have finally found my inner-peace.
I held back on paying SCO for licensing since I've been using a Linux desktop for a while on my personal desktop. I couldn't stand it anymore - sleepless nights, the shakes, sweating, and I took up smoking and booze. I was about to rip out the credit card today after work and pay them. Good thing I read Slashdot first!
