I would expect AT&T to settle this quickly, possibly for full price. According to Yahoo Finance, AT&T is sitting on $3.18B in cash. Paying $15M to make this bad PR go away seems like a bargain.

Considering hardware failure will eventually bring down the machine anyway, there's little to no difference in uptime between a "rock solid" BSD install versus a "also-solid" Linux install.

And the winner of this whole experiment ends up being ATI, who sold a bunch of GPUs to doe-eyed bitcoin miners.

Without SCO to suck dry, the world's IP lawyers might just get bored and fire the first shots in the Technology Patent Armageddon.

...Microsoft Corporation. Those guys must be Linux advocates, too.

Nice to see the soldiers will look awesome driving around in some of these amazing designs. At least, until they are killed because the vehicle is totally impractical.

In the spirit of the Golden Rule, I hope that any future alien visitors to Earth do not need to vacuum up humans before realizing we are indeed a life form. It sounds quite uncomfortable.

StopTheCap.com MAY be futile. But it also may be productive.

Whining - absent all else - is always futile.
