elfsA new story is up at the Pendorwright site. The ASSD code is M/M Fur(rept). The title in unimaginative, Rear, but I couldn't come up with anything better. It's a cute story. I should write more M/M stuff, I really should.
I just read with amusement SCO's last collection of counterclaims to IBM's complaint filing. Among the other titters, SCO claims that "Caldera was not established for the purpose of creating Linux solutions," "Linux was developed in order to destroy proprietary operating systems" (again, SCO goes for the intentional confusion of the word proprietary; it won't succeed as any judge can cite the definition out of Black's Law Dictionary), and "SCO denies participating in the Open Source Development Labs with the purpose of furthering open source development." Hey, is that last one fraud?
Amusingly enough, SCO is laying claim to the idea of Unix. Even if everything Linus did is legally available, it's still illegal because Linux didn't ask the holders of the Unix trademark. But this has been covered ever since Compaq successfully reverse-engineered the IBM BIOS. No case.
And IBM finally raised an estoppel argument, meaning that they're accusing SCO of saying so many contradictory things that nobody really knows what they're saying and the judge should throw out SCO's complaint. Rockin'.
US Donates A Lot Of Sperm.
A Constitution of Convenience. I think Technoshaman will get a charge out of this one: A j'accuse that the U.S. Government is selectively enforcing only those parts of the constitution that give them power, not charge them with responsibility, while doing the opposite to the people.
