I understand that the Linux Foundations is funded by Intel, but it would be worth bearing in mind what Intel did to OLPC. Intel cares for GNU/Linux only for selfish gain.

But remember. It’s /YOU/ who’s a “Microsoft hater”. It’s /YOU/ that’s intolerant. Not a company that coordinates lawsuits by proxy using false allegation and claims that you stole ‘innovations’… |

And the Times’ Bits blog has a fascinating post putting Greenspan’s comments about risk management systems in context. In short, computers don’t help if you lie to them.” |

“Ubuntu, the open source GNU/Linux based operating system, is about to release its next big update – Intrepid Ibex. In the past, the update servers would crash very quickly on a big release day, making it hard for people to get the latest update. With BitTorrent, however, this can be easily avoided.” |

The MAFIAA is trying to daemonise torrent. it assume it owns all transmitted packets out there, which is vain. |

I found a Larry Goldfarb video this morning. |
Oct 30 16:24 |
| schestowitz |
There were two of them actually. |
Oct 30 16:24 |
| schestowitz |
In an older one that I mailed GL he talked about Microsoft. |
Oct 30 16:24 |
| schestowitz |
In this new one he says nothing about SCO or MS… |
Oct 30 16:24 |
| schestowitz |
It’s time to get more proof before SCO goes poof! |
Oct 30 16:24 |
| schestowitz |
Microsoft won’t go “poof!” as quickly as SCO, but whatever can be done to show the relation is needed. |
Oct 30 16:25 |

i wonder if MICROS~1 will go “poof!” before novell does |

Oct 30 16:31 |
| _Doug |
Your honor, I put it to the court that: MS *did* talk to BAystar about ‘investing’ in SCO .. that is the substance of Mr. Schestowitzs’ declaration |
Oct 30 16:33 |
| _Doug |
(reading four years of discovery has got me talking like a lawyer) |
Oct 30 16:34 |
| _Doug |
Niall: Was Microsoft ever directly involved with the SCO Group in their lawsuit against IBM, either through BayStar Capital or others? |
Oct 30 16:36 |
| _Doug |
Bill: I don’t know BayStar. |
Oct 30 16:36 |
| _Doug |
Niall: It’s an investment company. One of their executives testified Microsoft invested $50 million to offset SCO’s costs in the lawsuit. |
Oct 30 16:37 |
| _Doug |
Bill: When? |

no one |

Oct 30 16:45 |

how can bill not know who SCO is and invest $50 million at the same time ?? |
Oct 30 16:46 |

“Why not Ubuntu?” |
Oct 30 16:48 |

well, in case of gnewsense, it’s not the same underneath  |

“Cuz the theme is ugly.” |

bill buys a ‘license’ from SCO, gives the nod to Goldfarb to ‘invest’ in SCO, Sun also buys a license in SCO .. after making an out of court settlement with MS .. |
