You have all probably seen various parodies of default templates (ex: like the suicide assistant), Rick Bruner at Up2Speed (formerly MarketingFix) compiled three parodies using the IE 404 template.
I was inspired and decided to give it show with the SCO fiasco, so without any further ado I bring you: Cannot find source code.
Actually, here is some ado explaining that parody.
- Chris Sontag is Senior Vice President at SCO and has been at the forefront of their chickenhawk crusade against both companies and individuals that contribute code to the Linux kernel.
- As reported by Daniel Lyons at Forbes, The Canopy Group is supposedly the mastermind organization behind the various lawsuits including the one with IBM.
- Jeff_K is the fictional epitome of just how feebleminded and undeveloped someone’s thinking can be.
- The Netcraft survey I mention is the real deal. Even as I write this the SCO site is still powered by Linux. Sophist indeed… Pharisee even.
- There are dozens of other Unixes (Unices) that have developed over the past 20 years, some from actual AT&T code, some built from the ground up, some licensed from others, etc. What some of them do have in common are various standards like POSIX which standardize various formats for, among other things universal interoperability. It’s incredulous and nonsensical to believe that Johnny-Come-LatelyÂ’s like SCO can possibly have a claim on derivatives which were created prior to their Novell IP acquisition.
Anyways, let me know if you see a better 404 parody of the SCO situation, mine is by no means the wittiest.
Oh, and in reference to the shredded newspapers, that was in honor of Lionel Hutz – America’s Finest Attorney.
