Well, with a powerful argument like that, I'm convinced. The grandparent must obviously have been lying.

If you took a look at the BDB source code, you're understand immediately why forking this is not an option unless you happen to have hired the developers.

No...didn't you see, he said "it's not their customer's fault."

customer's

...is a singular-possessive.

customers'

...is the plural form.

SCO doesn't have customers. They have a customer.

I have been using Perl for 5 years. After 1 month with Ruby, I'm not going back.

That's like saying "i have been eating dogshit for 5 years. After 1 month with steak & eggs, i'm not going back.". Hardly an impressive statement at all.

I don't think that is not an option

You shouldn't not use double negatives, you might not say something that you don't mean.

Well, according to Google:
"Eating Dogshit" [google.com]: 1,220
"Eating Steak & Eggs" [google.com]: 43

I'd say more people are eating dogshit than eating steak & eggs. Godbless the interweb!
