Sometimes the tug of war between various OS systems is humorous to watch..sometimes its a bit sad..but mostly, like reading the guff on a cornflakes box, while eating breakfast...its harmless fluff..

Then you get the occasional joust between the Big players, that makes life really entertaining...(these are the times when I pull up my deck chair, crack a beer and watch events unfold)... ;D

So, if your like me, you sit back expecting the opponents to be evenly matched; physically and intellectually in their prime...the top of the tree...so to speak...

So imagine how you must feel, after you paid for your ringside tickets only to witness a lopsided match, with two nitwits slugging it out for what turns out to be the..

Idiot of the Year Title Match...

And so it is with McBride of SCO...

Who jumped into the boxing ring with this statement...

"Linux is a copy of UNIX, there is no difference [between them]."

This was his sucker punch...

Seriously...How much is he paid... ::)

Calling Linux a copy of Unix is true in the same sense that a Porche is a copy of a model T Ford...or that a Boeing 747 is a copy of the Kittyhawk...

I wonder if he is Punch-Drunk, or has drunk too much Punch... :P

Either way...the guy has lost the plot... ;D ;D

I should add..

His might be the first case of TSKO... (Technical Self Knock Out) as opposed to a normal TKO... ;D

Yeah it seems that he has finally cracked, and completely flipped his lid. The man is completely insane, and
there is no chance he will ever be able to find his way back to reality. And I think you're right, in that it appears
he does the worst damage to himself, out of anyone else in existence.

Next he will want to sue himself personally for harassment or something.  :D :D :D

 If you drink a shot of Tequilla upside down and shake your head vigorously... a lot of what he says makes sense :P

 :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D Chris...I have tears rolling down my face from laughter..

He will be the only CEO in the world, having taken aim at the opposition and shot himself in the backside...

Seriously...

The guy must be a genius.... ;D ;D

Yup, I have similar feelings. It seems since the SCO guys lost their case against the Linux community, they have lost their minds. ;)

Linux is a copy of UNIX??? I still cannot digest it...  :P

Gemini on May 02, 2008, 03:56:59 AM
 Geesh... wonder why they have not tried to sue just on the name alone... Linux, is basically Unix with the U & I switched around and an L added ::)

 hehe..... "Lunix"  (Linux for Lunatics) :P

 :D :D :D

You know the real surprising thing for me, is that when they lost their case, I thought they would go away. Or at least hide
for a while. But their claims, and statements seem to have only gotten even more insane.

Yep....

He should know when to quit the grog..

Most especially when it causes him to see strange things... ;)
