(OT) US Patent Trolls Target Linux

Wotta coinkydink...

Monkey Boy gets another lawsuit-by-proxy again, now that SCOx is dead:

Patent Infringement Lawsuit Filed Against Red Hat & Novell - Just Like
Ballmer Predicted
....

So in July one Microsoft executive arrives; then as of October 1,
there is the second, a patent guy. October 9, IP Innovation, a
subsidiary, sues Red Hat. And Novell. So much for being Microsoft's
little buddy.

I think SCO II has arrived. Except it won't be just one. It will be
one after another, just like Ballmer predicted. Until Linux gives up
the ghost. In their dreams. Here's how to fix it: fix the patent
regime, as Ballmer calls it. Otherwise, it will destroy all innovation
and you'll be stuck in Vista. Eek. Plus at this rate, I'll never get a
vacation.

Brilliant, Novell. Where's BogoPatent buddy M$ now that you need them?

These mofos think I won't download twm, KDE, or Gnome from outside the US
if this nonsense is sustained? I'll move to New Zealand before I have any
of these pointyhair parasites try to ru(i)n my life again.

If (OT) posting is allowed, can I interest people in V|/\gra by posting:
(OT) V|/\gra for sale.

Just wondering.

Why did you post this garbage here in these groups?

Good to see that my dire warnings about you are true. You're a
lightweight fan boy who is only here to turn this NG into another
COLA.

Do everyone a favour and go boil your head. And take Willy Poaster and
Roy Culley with you. None of you ever help any new Linux users and just
boast about your "up time" and your news reader filters.

You are, quite simply, pathetic.

It's a place full of "oneupmanship" knobjockeys that is best left alone.

Or alternatively....
comp.os.linux.advocacy.

Visit at your peril. It's full of knuckledraggers.

No, no, you misunderstood the importance of COLA at all. COLA is there so
*this* place can be more peaceful.

Bow before the inhabitants of COLA and their troll tarpit! ^___^

It's so sad... I remember the early days when cola was
comp.os.linux.announce

Ah how times changed.

No.
It's not SUSE, Novell or Linux-related.

So then the (OT) part is irrelevant?

The subject "(OT) US Patent Trolls Target Linux" fits the COLA charter
but is off topic, as acknowledged by the "OT" part of the topic, for this
group.

If you want to discuss patents, COLA's the forum.
