Shameless Words from Shameless Geeks

Last night, Groklaw posted the final judgment in the SCO case. At long last, SCO’s attempt to bleed the open source community is at an end. It looks like the $600 fee that they tried to extort from every copy of Linux will never happen.

I wish I could say something about how great the judgment is, but about all I can think of is “it’s about time this ended". This whole thing has been going on for so long that I hardly remember when it started. It’s funny how the only ones who got rich were the lawyers.

Speaking of lawyers… I wonder how many are going to work with RIAA? The concept of the litigation is pretty much the same… be a cash leech.

El Reg has an article about the passing of a legend. Gus, the current reigning champion of canine ugliness, is dead at the age of nine. Gus overcame a lot to reach the pinnacle of his career as a putrid-looking pooch. He was missing an eye, short one leg, had no fur, and was covered in blotches. Actually, I think I may have been set up with his twin sister on a blind date once. Yecch!
