I follow it with wry amusement as a company that once had an enviable reputation and was universally admired, failed to keep up with the times and had to resort to pathetic litigation with no foundation in order to try to prolong its own existence for as long as possible. it looks and stinks of desperation. I read every instalment every week! bye-bye Sco..

Yes, SCO is like a bad television show that just won't die; sort of like Neighbours . They are doomed, it's too bad that they can't go down with a little dignity.

NEIGHBORS FOOKING ROCKS!

trouble is in the us many people make a living from suing people
ie half the bl**dy lawyers so as soon as ANYTHING happens there is someone saying sue them
so i suppose this for a few of them saves them "chasing ambulances" for a few months

'kin used to love Sco. If you could do Sco, you were the dog's b*ll*x. Employers would look at yer CV (resumé pan through it then they'd stop, look up at you and say, "oh, you're into a bit of Sco, are you?"

then usually take you to a storeroom where there'd be an ancient Sco-Unix server with about 8 SCSI drives in, and say, "fix that then.."

so who do you reckon will end up getting Sco when it eventually goes under? I mean, it's not like they're even worth a hostile takeover now; so that's Sun, otherwise the obvious choice, out of the picture. MS wouldn't be interested, totally different markets. Now Novell would be interesting as a potential Sco owner. Whadjoo fink?

I doubt it. Novell have their own Linux/Unix platform now that they have purchased SuSe, however I think that SCO's image has been so badly tarnished that no-one would buy them out. At least, not buy them out and keep the "SCO" name. I heard once that "SCO" stood for "Satanic Cultists' Organisation". I wonder if it is true?

so that's where my evil dark powers came from... c'mon I used to love Sco, it was the business. Now no-one bothers with it.

This is a joke right Sco has no case and is crazy I agree with Linus

just read that Sco are still trying to make all Linux users pay a licence fee, claiming that the Linux kernel is Sco's intellectual property...

what cr*p. Unix was invented in the 60s or 70s at Berkeley Uni, Calif. and has ALWAYS been open source. How can Sco possibly justify charging for something which they got for free anyway? it's hilarious. I hope I get a letter!

Just send SCO your REAL name and address, and state that you are using Linux. You can then frame the letter they send you, and sell it at a Linux convention in about ten years for $500. Think about it...

oooo wot a good idea! I'll take a pic of me old Sco server as well.. dyou reckon if Sco sue me, they'll go bust/get taken over before the case ever gets into court?

Probably. Their current strategy reeks of desperation! The only problem is that in America, you can sue someone and not have to pay unless you win! Therefore, they still might sue you despite being bankrupt. I love American law, don't you?

they's gonna have to sue me in the Staffordshire County Court..

Mmm, well you shouldn't have any problems then. I doubt that the guys from SCO could squeeze their massive swollen wallets through the doorway. Oh wait, that was before they started suing everyone in sight .

That's it! It's nearly 1am, I'm going to bed! 'till the morrow, or Sunday, whatever .
