| SCO confirms that they have been indeed DDoS'ed and -- surprise, surprise --
they say suspect the Open Source community to be behind this attack.

| huuuiii.. what am i reading on sco.com...
have a look at this page, it's a _product_ of SCO: http://www.sco.com/products/lkp/
ehm, how new/old is this page??
what i wanna quote: "SCO understands that customers are looking for alternatives
to Linux. But making changes always introduces risk. LKP is an easy and low risk
tool to help the migration from Linux to UnixWare." and "Since UnixWare is much
more powerful, scalable and secure than Linux, customers may replace multiple
Linux servers with a single, more powerful UnixWare server."
are they crazy? or is it just too hot in utah? =)

Remember there were three teams ?
Remember the rocket scientist remark ?
After discovering NASA was running Linux, Darl McBride declared "we own NASA
and all it's intellectual property including all NASA scientists".
That's REALLY where the analysis originated.

It appears Ms.Didio is not only supremely intelligent and a superb analyst, but
also a world class beauty ...

She has no experience covering either UNIX or Linux, and I wouldn't refer to her
exercise in self-mutilation over the last few months as "getting experience".
She is apparently trying to get in CYA mode these days.

That's what I thought (the beauty part- not the intelligence part) until I saw
the photo that Supa posted. Who is the REAL Ms. DiDio?

| To be perfectly fair, the photo Supa linked to was lit atrociously. It's obvious
that the photographer was incompetent, using lighting from below her face (the
kind of lighting classic photographic texts refer to as "horror lighting"). Yes,
indeed, this photograph is hideous; I think, though, that a large part of it is
just the lighting. The photo that wild bill links to is somewhat more
flattering. Like gumout, I wonder "who is the REAL Ms. DiDio?"
Now, as to being a "superb analyst", I'd certainly question that!

John, I just heard from another reader who also called SCO and was also told
the same thing you were told. The Dow Jones report is based on email Raymond
sent to the press. Maybe it created an opportunity for more FUD, maybe it
actually happened, who knows yet? But what you reported is confirmed by a
second witness.

Looks like we're entering the "smoke and mirrors zone" in regards to both SCO
and the appearance of Ms. DiDio. Cameras can lie, and I for one want to know
who the real Laura DiDio is- the one I would ask out for a drink (and neglect to
discuss Linux with), or "franken-DiDio?" Anyone have any photos of her where
the camera isn't lying?

I also just spoke with Qwest. InterNap had said yesterday they thought the
packets were going through InterNap fine, but blocking on Qwest. But Qwest says
definitely not them. They had absolutely no anomolies/attacks/shutdowns or
anything over the weekend.

| It;s getting so you cannot believe anything you read on the inernet. ESR and
Marcelo Prince say it was a DDOS attack. SCO people say that the servers were
taken down for upgrades. Blake Stowell says it was a DDOS attack.
Who was it that said that you should believe fifty percent of what you see
and nothing of what you just hear.

| Here is one of the original quotes about MIT
http://www.computerworld.com/governmenttopics/government
/legalissues/story/0,10801,81973,00.html
SCO was able to uncover the alleged violations by hiring three teams of experts,
including a group from the MIT math department, to analyze the Linux and Unix
source code for similarities. "All three found several instances where our Unix
source code had been found in Linux," said a SCO spokesman.

Definite improvement in lighting. (Now, if we could just shed the light of
intelligence into the rest of these issues...)
BTW, one has to wonder how a BA in communications and twelve years as a reporter
covering Windows qualifies one to serve as an IT industry "analyst" commenting
on Unix issues...

Yes, let us not stoop to the level of picking on people based on their looks.
Around here we should focus on words and actions in the tech and legal fields,
not genetic results. Ms. DiDio's looks are irrelevant, and it's kinda unfair to
pick on her based on them. Her words, however, are fair game and very, very
pick-worthy.

| It is a much better picture. Just figured I should post it to help mitigate the
damage her photographer did to her in the other image I linked to.
As for her words... her windows background shows. Most business pundits never
stray far from the proprietary software camps so don't get what OSS is all
about. It is really not a surprise to me she didn't either. If you want a
good outside commentary on OSS you are probably better off talking to a
charities pundit as they grope what pulling together for the good of the
community is all about rather then seeing it as "destroying value".
Milking contract licensing of "IP" for the personal pocket vs altruistic sharing
of knowledge and tools for the public good
Fundamentally different ways of looking at the world.

| Children, children.
This is an important case. The role of "industry analysts" is particularly
interesting, because apparently they can be quite easily bought, and apparently
the mainstream press tends to accept their statements without even a modicum of
fact-checking. The commentary to be making is how vulnerable the press, the
stock market, and, potentially, the courts are to manipulation by SCO. NOT
hairstyle.
PJ and a few others: thanks for doing such in-depth research, and for great
analysis.
