Sorry to inject some ad hominem criticism here, but every time I see Darl I
can't keep myself from musing how much he looks like an overgrown version of the
stereotypical frat boy from all those silly 80's college exploitation B-movies.
What was the name of the jock frat in Revenge of the Nerds? ;-)

Er, does that make us Lambda Lambda Lambda/Omega Mu? ;-)

(No offense meant to fraternity members, my best friend was one.)

Now these are just a few 'stills' from the chat, but I'm curious - did he have a
habit of hiding one hand or the ther during the whole chat? Also, did he tend
to hover around behind the desk during the chat or did he come out toward the
audience at all?

I heard references to a webcast. Is there an AVI format capture of this talk
anywhere that I can take a look at?

Is it just me, or is he doing a Bill Clinton impression in that first pic?

looks like he should be holding a giant pepper grinder - or a violin case, while Sontag looks like a weak bladdered Niles Crane on casual Friday. Thanks for the laffs!
Thanks again,

I think Darl was a member of I Eta Pi.

Hot damn, that's an ugly suit!
Authored by: atul on Tuesday, February 03 2004 @ 03:30 AM EST
Sorry, Darl, baggy and misshapen suits are out this year. The big shoulder pads
aren't helping. Sorry.

P.S. The 70's called, they want their tie back.

Any sign of the bodyguards?
Authored by: atul on Tuesday, February 03 2004 @ 03:38 AM EST
I haven't heard anyone mention Darl's bodyguards. Surely the place was thick
with them, right?

Hey! I'm sure that there are bits of the sleeve and collar of Darl's suit that
are identical to a very similar suit I currently have in my wardrobe at home!

He can either choose to stop wearing this suit or pay me $650 for the priveledge
of continuing to wear it. (Sorry Darl, but for legal reasons I can't let you
know what parts of the sleeve and collar are like mine...)

He'll be hearing from my lawyers. In the meantime - suit wearers of the world,
beware!

Just needs to top it off with a black cowboy hat. Glad to see pictures, he is
human, he is real. I am not just having a bad dream.

Probably easier to demonize the man before seeing he is flesh and blood. Imagine
too, seven kids and a wife.

As misguided and off base as we might think this guy is, he really is more like
you and me than we might want to admit.

Nothing like I expected
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, February 03 2004 @ 06:15 AM EST
Where is Darl's big red nose and 2 foot long floppy shoes? He's also missing
white makeup, red and/or multicolored frizzy hair. I was expecting at least an
oversized polka dot - *shirt* and some baggy pants. Darl is noting like I
expected..

Someone caught one last picture of the event before Mr McBride left abruptly.

He looks like a thug who was caught in the "act".

OK so SCOG's case (as I understand it) is that they are not Reopening the BSD
case they are Enforcing it.

Their case is that the settlement required BSD to put ATT copyright notices on
some files but gave BSD permission to publish those files so long as they
included that copyright notice. Anyone else publishing those files without
copyright notices can therefore be sued and the courts will order them also to
add copyright notices.

Flaws in this argument:
Flaw #1
Surely the most the court would do is instruct the parties to add the copyright
notices. Damages would only, I presume, apply if people still refused to put the
notices in AFTER such a court order.
How would the judge react when he hears SCO has never asked folks to add those
notices?

Flaw #2
From their statements in court UCB thought they could win the BSD case. They
stated that ATT had not put copyright notices on UNIX code when they first
published it nor had they registered the copyrights.
My guess is UCB went along with attaching copyright notices because it cost
nothing and got ATT/USL/Novell off their backs.
New defendants might fight.

Just my £0.02
