DaimlerChrysler/SCO Case Winds Down

kuwan writes "It was previously reported that SCO moved for and was denied a stay in their case agains DaimlerChrysler. (Remember that all of SCO's claims against DaimlerChrysler were thrown out except for the issue of whether or not DaimlerChrysler made its certification in a timely manner.) The opposition and reply memos for that motion are now available and apparently SCO's motion was so weak that DaimlerChrysler is asking SCO to pay the cost of preparing their opposition memo. A nice summary of the latest maneuvers is available at scofacts.org."

Nice advert

[arivanov]

Methinks that the Sybase "one-eyed monster whacking a luser" advert was a perfect fit for this article.

Dunno if it is luck or the usual Slashdot editor impartial and unbiased reporting :-)

Hopefully a few more whacks and it will be gone for good.

SCO Must Die!

[IO ERROR]

Way to go! Make SCO pay for everything. Suck up all their blood money and drive them out of business.

Raise Money for SCO

[Phragmen-Lindelof]

I can think of one reason SCO deserves some money from us; they are providing us with a lot of entertainment and they are illustrating how not to conduct legal affairs. I believe that we should all contribute to a pool to improve the lives of (former) SCO (related) employees who are (or will be) housed in our wonderful incarceration facilities. This may need to be a large fund since I suspect that some Canapy Group employees might need some free government lodging. I think we should put PJ in charge of distributing the money; imagine Darl asking PJ for just a little money for a snickers bar.

guilty condcience?

In a weird sort of way, I kind of feel sorry for SCO.

I mean geez, they're just another legit company trying to make it in this high tech industry. Won't anyone give them a break?

It is actually profitable to be sued by you.

Now -- for a limited time only-- you can use the Nationalistic Moron's Assertion About The Probability Of Other Nation's Linguistic Evolution to justify ~any~ war... while insulting other nations in your favourite, chasm-spanningly idiotic manner!

"You would all be speaking Farsi and Arabic if not for our brave GIs!"

"You would all be speaking Afghani if not for our brave... I mean, if not for the Pakistan Army!"

"You would all be speaking South American and wearing funny hats like Che Guevara if not for the covert operations of our brave CIA agents!"

And many, many more! Call this number now and have your debt account number ready!

I'd give you a pat on the back, but your hand is in the way :-)

Re:Fall of SCO

[Metteyya]

How do you define "death" of an undead, ie. zombie?

If you mean "when they will stop moaning and disturbing the living ones" - well, that's a question for an Exorcist, not a geek.

No.

The hand is only there to protect it from the knives ;-).

Re:This is a non-story

[Anonymous Coward]

Dude, 99.99999994% percent of the whole population is considered a troll on groklaw. If this defines credibility, all we are left with is PJ and a couple of paranoid, pussy whipped, virgin geeks.

As I watched groklaw grow, I thought "man, this woman has no clue about open source", but now that it has devolved into mindless sycophantic cult worship, infighting, backstabbing and replacing emotion for rational discourse, I thought "she finally gets it."

Good luck with all that.

On the day sco dies.

[jellomizer]

We should register SCO.COM and put a website with Nelson from the Simpsons just pointing and going "Ha HA!"

Re:Raise Money for SCO

[AndroidCat]

Was that Canopy Group or Canopic Group [echo-on.net]? A group that keeps dead people's organs in jars seems to fit better. Speaking of entertainment value, if Darl could just fill out this special organ donour card...

My pleasure. Arm or Leg?

one-eyed monster
a few more whacks

Enough with the sexual innuendo already! I don't know what exactly your relation with SCO is, but I'm quite sure it's going too far =)
