Ok...I've been trolling news stories for more than three weeks over all this crap with SCO and Microsoft and every other bit of thread that comes of it - and with the recent "statement" that Mr. "I'lll sue everyone!" Darl McBride might in turn sue Linus (yes, OUR Linus - the writer of the Sacred Code - the same man who swore to show the world that a monolithic kernel CAN work!), I've blown a gasket.
Three weeks ago, SCO STATED that it's not necessarily going after linux, then a week later, it was. Waddup dog? Is the public "that bloody stupid" that these "Corporate Heads" think that they can get away with whatever they want just because they can get the PR and marketing? Bullshit. Look - I'm on a rant. I think RIGHT NOW is the time to sign up on any petitions, send emails, whatever - just show our support (YOUR support) for whatever reasons. Seek out sites that have lists or petitions - do something - sign'em. Get involved. Spread the word. Something - anything. Any type of action is a hell of a lot better than no action at all. Oh, and BTW, these types of discussions on mailing lists DO carry some weight with them - for all the bandwidth, believe me, public opinion is getting heard more now than it has in the past - so it's a matter of making it louder and stronger. With the last statement that Darl McBride made, though, I'm wondering how long it's going to be before the SCO site is knocked down again...he's treading further onto thin ice, and with Novell, Suse and other companies now coming back at SCO, the entire game is going to be up rather soon - so we can only hope for the best. -- Thu May 29 11:30:01 EST 2003 11:30:01 up 1 day, 14:03, 4 users, load average: 1.08, 1.26, 1.23 ----------------------------------------------------------------- | __ __ |kuhn media australia | | /-oo /| |'-. |http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' |stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ----------------------------------------------------------------- linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1 & RH 7.3 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-11mdk Cooker for i586 ----------------------------------------------------------------- * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * A pedestal is as much a prison as any small, confined space. -- Gloria Steinem
