There is a really stupid/silly lawsuit going down between SCO and IBM. Involving one of my loves. Linux... SCO Claims IBM has stolen closed source code from them and has put it in the Linux kernel. If you look around you can find plenty of news coverage online. Many people don't belive SCO has a foot to stand on as they refuse to let anyone know anyhting other than aligations. Many also belive that SCO wants to be bought out by a nice big corperation such as IBM, because SCO is a turd of a company that has been slowly dieing over the years. SCO also claims once its finished with IBM that it is going to go after other Linux distrubutions such as RedHat and SuSE. I doubt there will be much of SCO left after IBM is done with them, as cases such as this are quite costly (read millions upon millions) and IBM has quite a bit bigger bank roll than SCO. SCO made something in the millions in 2002 while IBM was someplace in the Billions. I won't get into detail about SCO's other false/misleading alegations/statements involving the suit....
I my self find some humor in the whole situation. And think SCO has about a snowballs chance in hell. They are playing dirty and cheap.
I know none of you really care about this kind of stuff as I do. So i will stop there.
Honey should be getting upgraded tomorrow at some point. going from 80gigs Mp3 stroge space to 120GB. Total capacity of honey after the upgrade could be up to 420GB or as low as 340GB depending on what we leave in and what we take out, I'm hoping for the higher or someplace inbetween. mmmm GigaBytes of storage goodness.....
