IBM Says SCO Willfully Failed To Detail Evidence 188

Posted by Zonk on Thursday April 06, 2006 @10:02AM from the suspiciously-vague dept.

Robert wrote to mention a piece on CBR Online where the latest volley in the SCO case is covered. IBM is now accusing SCO of having acted in bad faith when they opened the trial against IBM, by being purposefully vague in their evidence. From the article: "All in all, according to IBM, SCO's evidence filing makes it impossible for the company to defend itself. 'By failing to provide adequate reference points, SCO has left IBM no way to evaluate its claims without surveying the entire universe of potentially relevant code and guessing ... Since only SCO knows what its claims are, requiring such an exercise of IBM would be as senseless and unfair as it would be Herculean.'"

Yes, good point. Because of a previous slashdot article, I'm rereading the foundation series of Asimov. At this moment, I'm reading "Foundation and Earth", and there is a lot to do about the importance of earth having a large moon, but some things are unclear to me (from the book):

is a large moon very rare?
is a large moon a prerequisite for biological evolution and intelligent life?
are there other influences of having a moon, apart from the ones mentioned above?

I'd really like to know, so if there are any astronomists out there...
