I keep hoping that the Germans or the Japaneese will take over LUNIX software engineering, since they seem so good at car engineering. Its, like, they *GET* that people buy cars to drive them all of the time and not have to get out to push them whenever the open scourge engineers don't feel like adding a feature. Like if the car egineers didn't feel like putting in the code to go up hill and the driver had to get out and push everytime they came to a hill. That's what LUNIX is like.

Until, like, the LUNIXitcs grok that people want their computers to work, we're all, like, DOOMED, to get systems that run out of swap space for no reason. Nobody even wants to know what swap space is, let alone why its running out. If it was really important, they would have called it "sexy nightie space" or "scantily clad babe space" but they didn't. They named it something nobody can even remember, even in their worst Freudian nightmares.

Sic Semper LUNIX!

The IBM lawyers (who ARE IP lawyers) will strongly argue that none of this matters since we have a case of a single person who did two very similar implementations based on his earlier research.

They're going to have a hell of a time proving that, if the code was the same.

Oracle already hacked off the SAP people by piggybacking into shops that were backending SAP with Oracle, then trying to convert those shops to Oracle Financials. DB2 has been the preferred SAP development DB since Jan, 2001. I spoke to a friend of mine in Salt Lak a few minutes ago, and some companies are picketing SCO headquarters. I don't think SCO is gonna get away with it, Big Blue or MS might come along and eat em for lunch.
