IBM SUED FOR $1,000,000,000!!!
| 
Apr 23 12:49 UTC 2003 |
IBM is being sued for $1,000,000,000!!! Yes, that's $1BILLION!!! By who, you
may ask? SCO!!! Why, you may ask? 'Misuse of proprietary UNIX secrets in their
Linux contributions'. If IBM loses, they lose $1B and keep the connections
between Unix and Linux. If SCO loses, the ties between Unix and Linux are
severed, which one's best?

Well, I trust IBM more than I trust the Amish, but I abandoned God and
worship UNIX now. Hmmm...tough call. Or maybe I'm a loon? Either way, I say
we find the weight of a full monkey's bladder, and save the whales.

May I remind you that if it wasn't for IBM linux would still be in Linus
Torvald's basement probably with extremely basic hardware support and nowhere
near the performance and stablity it posseses now.
