a reward of up to a total of $250,000

Payable by 400 licenses for your Linux copy, no doubt.

This is what happens when you file a malicious lawsuit against IBM and the entire LINUX community.

This is wrong, but it couldn't happen to a more deserving bunch of creeps.

If these virus-makers were given jail time concomitant with the economic damage that they cause, they would all get life. I'm all for that, unless we could give them the death penalty. Let them run an infected computer, and the first time the Blue Screen of Death shows up, drop the cyanide capsule.

Even if you got the worm it would be stopped by ZoneAlarm, or any competent firewall. It could try to attack SCO, but it wouldn't be allowed access to the internet.

How interesting to hear from SCO that they are experiencing and are presumably the target of DDOS attacks.

Are we witness to a form of virtual anarchy???

confirmed that it is experiencing a distributed Denial-of-Service attack

But wait! The DDoS from MyDoom wasn't supposed to start until February 1st. How can they be experiencing it now?

Glad to hear it. And this is the perfect chance for Linux supporters to prove that other Linux users weren't behind this, and let SCO pay them for it as well, although I seriously doubt that is what will ultimately happen.
