SCO Vs. Groklaw 477
Conrad Mazian points us to an article in Forbes reporting that the SCO Group is trying to subpoena Pamela Jones of Groklaw. Except they can't find her. A few days ago PJ posted a note on Groklaw saying that she is taking some time away from the blog for health reasons; she didn't mention any SCO deposition. SCO's lawyers apparently believe that "Pamela Jones" does not exist and that Groklaw is penned by a team of IBM lawyers.

There certainly are legal consequences if PJ is infact the Easter Bunny. Massive consueqences indeed!
For at the moment Easter Bunnies do not in fact have any legal rights in the USA or any other country. Many laws would need to be changed and the source of his/her easter eggs found and appropriately taxed!

Close but no cigar. I have from the best sources available that it's really Dateline preparing a big story on PC OS...but keep it on the DL. They will combine it with the true story of ASL and its effect on AOL. They are trying to bring it to the media market PDQ.

As she is not a lefty blogger, that is not a quirk. In fact, it's a quite common trait out in the real world.

But wait! It gets worse!
The Easter bunny isn't a US Citizen.... In fact the Easter bunny is probably stateless... This means that if an easter egg causes problems with a US Military Computer, then the Easter Bunny could end up accused of being an illegal combatant. Can you imagine what that would do to the guys that have been in Guantanimo Bay since the start of the Afghanistan war? These guys are probably already worried about their sanity. If they see a CIA agent questioning a giant bunny with a magical basket on it's arm they're gonna be certain that they've completely lost their grip on reality.
The result could be a mass epidemic of psychotic episodes within the prison.

Interesting, from my part I always thought that Darl doesn't really exits and that all his declarations are in fact penned by a team of buffoons and clowns hired to entertain us.

Maybe Daryl's problem started when he was in the seventh grade, and all the other boys teased him about having a small penis in the gym class shower, one to many wedgies can snap a mind you know. Maybe we should in the spirit of forgiveness let bygones be bygones and all chip in and buy some of those penis enlarging thingies I keep getting advertisements for in my Email and have them sent to the SCOX corporate gym! That way the SCOXers can pump up their self-esteem in a way that doesn't hurt the rest of society.

I mean, since the info is true, does it legally have any bearing if PJ is one of IBM's lawyers, a real person, or the Easter Bunny?

Bringing extraneous facts into the mix only serve to confuse the matter and further support the notion that you are indeed Pamela Jones. Ever been to Sweden?
I, myself, am on the fence and await the full details of your airline flights for the past 10 years to make a call. SCO will probably be avaiting your deposition into those flights any time now.
But seriously, this crap is exactly what SCO wants - to punish PJ and rake her over the coals, ask her obnoxious questions and hope to get some statements they can turn into another motion, and another, and...
