Yahoo! SCOX Review

Message ID: 260294 Posted By: rgriffith64 Posted On: 2005-04-28 19:09:00 Subject: SCO still trying Linux extortion Recs: 14 I thought they had stopped making these claims in public. But no, SCO still claims 1) there is SCO IP in Linux 2) you need an SCOsource license to run the Linux binaries http://www.sco.com/scosource/license_program.html In light of these public claims SCO has to have some sort of real IP claims against IBM. If SCO is not putting real IP claims (tradesecret or copyright) directly against IBM then all the stuff in the link is a straight forward scam. Either the claims in the link are true, in which case IBM is a direct infringer or SCO's claims are fradulent. SCO's failure to press these claims against IBM will stop them from being able to press any such claims against others.

Message ID: 260272 Posted By: walterbyrd Posted On: 2005-04-28 18:21:00 Subject: fatcitystate, this is the scox board Recs: 4 Who cares if some IBM employees are all pissy about this or that. Show me a major company where there are no employees with any gripes. For that matter, since you are all over the IBM board, how many IBM investors give a rats azz about scox? Most IBM employees, and investors, are only dimly aware of scox's existance. Scox is irrelevant. Scox is nothing except a penny-stock scam. ------------------------------------------------------------ The text of this Yahoo Message Board post has been licensed for copying and distribution by the Yahoo Message Board user "walterbyrd" under the following license: License:  CC Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike v2.0 ------------------------------------------------------------

Message ID: 259909 Posted By: paulshirley2002 Posted On: 2005-04-27 20:10:00 Subject: David&Goliath: Y we dont care who PJ is Recs: 2 SCOX have tried desperately to use the David&Goliath strategy in their PR battle, a ploy that can only be won by not being identified as Goliath. The Goliath player is in a bind, saying nothing lets David distort, misrepresent or plain lie without challenge. Reply and the public is unlikely to believe the reply, threaten David over lies and it just gets worse. Traditionally smart Goliaths clam up and try to get the affair finished quickly (sound like anyone's dreams of a fast settlement?). The dumb ones settle even quicker after talking. But there's a third option that SCOX apparently didn't believe could work: stop being Goliath, become David or at least find a David so aligned with your cause it can fight for you. They assumed that if their own efforts to astroturf had failed, if professionals like Microsoft kept...

Message ID: 258622 Posted By: walterbyrd Posted On: 2005-04-22 10:31:00 Subject: Sam's dep is BS, but makes sense Recs: 17 To me, it only makes sense that scox would want a depositon from IBM's CEO. It also only makes sense that IBM would not want to allow it. The entire scox-scam is about harassing IBM into a settlement and/or making the public believe that scox, at least, might harass IBM into a settlement. Not only is the deposition itself a harassment, but it could very easily lead to more harassments, and more delays. More delays means no accountability, which means yet more harassment. For example, Sam might say something that scox will claim requires further investigation, and discovery for memos, emails, other depositons, etc. Even demanding the deposition is a small success for scox. It makes it appear that scox is actually preparing a case. And IBM fighting the deposition can be spun to look like IBM has something to hide. -------------------------...

Message ID: 256187 Posted By: higgins_jc Posted On: 2005-04-15 09:11:00 Subject: Old school thinking : SCO, MS, SUN Recs: 2 Many people have already commented on Darl and his diversion towards Groklaw and specifically PJ as a wookie.. I don't think that Darl sees it that way - and let me try explain why .. We have all seen the old school thinking that came out of Microsoft in its attempts to destroy Linux. There was a comment last year from some product development body in MS - that they didn't understand how to attack the community - but the knew how to attack the competition and kill companies ( I'm paraphrasing ). SUN have said the same recently about Linux - the want people to believe RedHat is linux because they can try kill redhat Darl / SCO are stuck with the same problem - they want to kill the community reaction to their scam - but their brains can't think big enough to attack the whole community - so instead they pick prominent bits to atta...

Message ID: 255603 Posted By: walterbyrd Posted On: 2005-04-14 10:37:00 Subject: About Credibilty? Recs: 0 About Credibilty? The entire scoxe-scam is a shameful two year history of lie after lie, fraud after fraud, hoax after hoax. The following is from the first six months of the scoxe-scam. - Scoxe lies about suing Linus - Scoxe lies about suing RedHat - Scoxe lies about auditing AIX users - Scoxe flip-flops about being open to buyout - Scoxe lies about canceling IBM UNIX licence Scoxe price sky-rockets because, for weeks, everybody anticipates that Scoxe will cancel IBM's UNIX, thereby forcing IBM to settle with SCO. The day for Scoxe to get an immediate temporary injunction against IBM comes and goes. Scoxe does not even show up in court. But about 30 pop-media news articles come out proclaiming that Scoxe has canceled IBM's UNIX license. - Scoxe lies about owning C++ http://techupdate.zdnet.com/techupdate/stories/main/0,14179,2877578,00.html ...

Message ID: 255495 Posted By: walterbyrd Posted On: 2005-04-14 00:35:00 Subject: Scoxe has over 20MM shares outstanding? Recs: 0 In fact, it may be nearly 21MM. If I understood those posting about the CC. That means that scoxe's market cap, is around $80MM right now. Not too shabby. Seems to me the scam is working very well. So why is scoxe cranking out more shares? Where are the shares going? ------------------------------------------------------------ The text of this Yahoo Message Board post has been licensed for copying and distribution by the Yahoo Message Board user "walterbyrd" under the following license: License:  CC Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike v2.0 ------------------------------------------------------------

Message ID: 255470 Posted By: tech_nix_yoda Posted On: 2005-04-13 22:39:00 Subject: Fear the Geek Recs: 13 You want to sue me to stop from posting on the net what I know, and stop me from saying things I do know but have not said yet. You want to stop all opposition to your scam cause it is bad for bidnuss. You want the threat of legal action from you legal dream team hanging over my head everytime I post something negative about SCO Group. That is just sick. More sick then I can say, and now, now you have managed to end the grokwars in fell swoop. You just killed the one thing that was keeping the tide at bay. Hell is a word Darl, but when we are done with you boy, you will wish you were there. You want transparent, you just got it. SCOXE has signed a pact with the devil, and the devil is coming for his, which always involves death. This is why no company survives a pact with MS. Darl, you are scum, and if you want to Sue PJ, include me. I ran the tra...

Message ID: 254105 Posted By: hamjudo2000 Posted On: 2005-04-11 00:04:00 Subject: My personal experience with a scam Recs: 7 My wife and I temporarily lost $9500 to a general contractor who fled the state. He used to do good work. A dozen years ago he built us a fine set of oak stairs at our last house. We didn't recheck his references three years ago. We just signed a contract with him and wrote him a $9500 check for a deposit to put an addition on our new home. He cashed our check but didn't start working on our house. He fled the state. We were comparatively lucky, another victim had paid him to enlarge her kitchen so she could use all of the appliances from her wheelchair. He did the demolition work. He increased the costs a bunch of times and delayed the project again and again while he did a token amount of new construction and made her life progressively more miserable. Because the contractor made two significant mistakes, we eventually got our ...

Message ID: 253665 Posted By: div_2n Posted On: 2005-04-08 13:31:00 Subject: More statistical fun Recs: 18 The lowest price of SCOXE was $0.60 on 6/26/2002. Is it mere coincidence that the very next day (6/27/2002) that Darl McBride replaced Ransom Love? What do you think was on the board's mind that day? Also very interesting is the month of August 2002. What took place in August? After a slow recovery of stock price from the low of $0.60 to $1.091 on 8/1/2002, by 8/30/202 the price had almost doubled to $1.98. So what caused a sudden spike? Well, you have to look in a Businessweek article to get a clue. Check out this tidbit: "Q: So when did you first contact IBM? A: The first time I had a discussion with IBM was shortly after I sent out the shareholder's letter. In August [2002], we went to LinuxWorld in San Francisco, and I met with their senior Linux executive at the time. It was just sort of a get-to-know-you session.... I laid out to him th...

Message ID: 253591 Posted By: walterbyrd Posted On: 2005-04-08 10:32:00 Subject: What Val's death means, and doesn't Recs: 15 mean. There is, yet another, "oh please stop picking on Val" article on groklaw. The peculiar thing is: nobody is, or has been, picking on Val to begin with. Nobody on these message boards anyway. So why do they keep on and on, with all these requests? I get the feeling that the Noordas want all discussion, and especially all investigation, of the Noorda's involvement in the scoxe-scam, to stop. The Noorda's are trying to imply that anybody who believes that the Noordas could possibly be involved, is insensitive to Val's memory. IMO: Val's death doesn't prove anything about the Noorda's involvement - one way or the other. Val's death, of itself, does not automatically put the Noordas above suspecion. ------------------------------------------------------------ The text of this Yahoo Message Boar...

Message ID: 253124 Posted By: walterbyrd Posted On: 2005-04-06 11:40:00 Subject: Is scoxe fooling anybody? Recs: 0 Early on, I think scoxe may have had some people fooled. At this point, I'm not so sure. Certainly sophisticated investors know this is penny-stock junk. The funadmentals speak for themself, no history of profitability, horrid financial fundamentals, dwindling cash, no prospects of future profitability, outragous legal expenses, no viable products, delisting and bankruptcy are nearly certain, and scoxe is facing several credible lawsuits against them. Considering all that, the share price is amazingly high. The market cap is about 10X waht the market cap was before the scam. The only thing scoxe has is a lawsuit against IBM. Does anybody really beleive that lawsuit will payoff? ------------------------------------------------------------ The text of this Yahoo Message Board post has been licensed for copying and distribution by the Yahoo M...
