Judge To SCO — Quit Whining

chiark writes, "Back in June, the magistrate judge presiding over SCO vs IBM gutted SCO's claims, as discussed on Slashdot. SCO cried 'foul,' appealed to the District Judge, and today that judge has ruled against SCO, succinctly and concisely affirming every point of the original damning judgement. Also included in this ruling is the news that the Novell vs. SCO trial will go first: 'After deciding the pending dispositive motions in this case, and after deciding the dispositive motions in Novell, which should be fully briefed in May 2007, the court will set a trial date for any remaining claims in this action.' It's notable that the judge conducted the review using a more exhaustive standard than required out of an 'abundance of caution,' and still found against SCO." As Groklaw asks and answers: "What does it mean? It means SCO is toast."

[bogaboga]

I better act fast! This is the time to sell my remaining SCO stock before the tsunami strikes.

This is slashdot. Neutral does not exist with respect to linux, microsoft, and sco. Other topics may vary.

Jon Katz and SCO in the same week?

[s20451]

What is this, 2003? I'm looking forward to the latest press release from the the Iraqi information minister.

friends suing friends oh my I like that judge

[sjwest]

Sco v Novell - I bet Steve Ballmers getting a phone call from Ron - 'what do i do Stevie ???'.

"We made them drink poison last night and Darl McBride's lawyers and his great employees gave IBM a lesson which will not be forgotten by history. Truly." ;)

Looks like you're missing the letter "r" from "othe". Let me guess... you're using an IBM ThinkPad laptop and IBM stole the letter "r"? ;)

Buy more chairs.

Last chance offer!

[gEvil (beta)]

This is your last chance to take advantage of SCO's special licensing offer of only $699 per computer. Better get those orders in before it's too late!

No matter how you dress it up, it's still a turd sandwich. No amount of garnish will help with that.

Re:SJVN says it's over, too

[Slur]

Wow, the beginning of the end [google.com] already??

Buy a license.

[faraway]

Let's all email SCO and inquire about a license. "We heard you're going out of business and were wondering if you could spare us some licenses."

. . .a more neutral/appropriate headline might make this a more reputable site.

What, and ruin it's reputation? I don't think so.

Am I the only one who sees this as reminiscent the scene in Star Wars III

You are the only one here who thinks Star Wars III is worth remembering at all.

[Eric Damron]

Quit whining... :-)

SCO stock on eBay

[MatrixCubed]

I wonder if this foreshadows the time where SCO stock portfolios are worth more on eBay than on NYSE?

Re:SCO to Judge

[Shadow Wrought]

No "R," huh... Most likely it was pirated. They need as many arrrrrr's as they can get.

Re:Hmmm...now this looks familiar...

[AJWM]

There was a Star Wars III? When did that happen?

Re:This is the time...

[Frumious Wombat]

Now is the time to acquire the actual paper stock certificate. In a year or so, when the dust has settled and SCO is history, that certificate will be a collector's item. Or, you can keep it yourself, frame it, and hang it right next to the framed Richard Nixon stamps. Gone, not forgotten, but not missed.

the letter "r" from "othe" .... Ah! I understand!

The rothe hits! The rothe hits! You die...
