Not sure if I'm more surprised to see an article about SCO vs IBM, or a link to Slashdot. Either way, I feel like were back in 2003 again..

  Score: 5, Funny

    I think you mean Score: -1, Illegal Humor.

      Well, that’s the effective exchange rate for converting Slashdot Funny scores into HN votes.

    Frist P0st. I remember the great UID reset of 1999. Waited a few weeks because I thought cred based on low UID was stupid. RIP Slashdot.org

      The article quality on Slashdot seems to be better recently, presumably due to the most recent owners. Don't bother with the comments though.
      • amacbride 9y ago
        Honestly, most of the content seems to be from HN these days.
        • askvictor 9y ago
          They do overlap, true, but there's content that gets up on one and not the other.

    Imagine a Beowolf cluster of SCO lawyers.

  Except that nobody believes SCO's male cow droppings any more. And, in fact, if I understand the current state of play of this suit, Linux is no longer under threat. Linux is completely in the clear. The one remaining issue is a contract one between SCO and IBM over Project Monterrey. (Also, I bet the comments here will be, on average, better than those on Slashdot...)
• philwelch 9y ago
  It makes sense though, right? Slashdot has always been the go-to source about SCO vs. IBM.
  • AnimalMuppet 9y ago
    Not always. Groklaw was the definitive source, until PJ shut it down.
    • philwelch 9y ago
      And when there was a breakthrough, Groklaw would hit the top of Slashdot, so I never had to go to Groklaw specifically :)
      • AnimalMuppet 9y ago
        OK, but which comments did you read, Slashdot's or Groklaw's? (Groklaw's comments were miles above Slashdot's.)
