Another development.... SCO executives are selling off their stock hand over fist: http://www.sltrib.com/2003/Aug/08122...ness/83193.asp

Today's Slashdot: "According to the Salt Lake Tribune, 'SCO Group executives have sold about 119,000 shares of their company since it filed a lawsuit against IBM in March...' Their CFO started the $1.2 million sell-off just after the lawsuit."

Can't short SCO? Buy Red Hat, which slumped after showing consecutive profits, for no other reason than SCO jitters.

I'd argue with you on that point, but the plain truth is that you look better than I do in that armored dress. Damn you.

dave 08-13-2003 11:15 AM

Awww man, I'm sorry. I was just trying to show my support. They can't crucify us all!

Awesome, simply awesome. esr is one person you never want to be on the wrong side of.

dave 08-26-2003 11:11 AM

Heh. ESR is a big fuckin' geek that frequently handles situations very immaturely. I don't know that I'd rate much of his stuff as "awesome". He's just another screaming Linux zealot.

Oh, the irony!

dave 08-26-2003 11:45 AM

Not really. I'm not in a position to speak for a whole group of people, whereas this diplomat heads OSI. Just what open source needs: <b>another</b> demonstration that they're a bunch of whining babies.

russotto 08-26-2003 02:13 PM

If you think ESR is whining here, you haven't read SCOs side. Diplomacy is NOT called for, here -- SCO has gone off its rocker.

ESR _IS_ flaming the hell out of them, but on the other hand, SCO has been making cartooney threats and most recently claimed outright that ESR was on IBMs payroll.

dave 08-26-2003 02:29 PM

I understand, but to the outside world it looks like Linux users are a bunch of whiny babies (which, incidentally, they are). ESR's writings have always been like that, and with the way he carries and presents himself in person, he doesn't make a real good spokesman for Open Source as far as public image is concerned.
