SCO has once again filed for permission to go on and on and on, and they have been granted permission to file an over-length 28-page Reply Memorandum in connection with their Expedited Motion regarding the "enforcement" of the scheduling order and their motion requesting a scheduling conference. So, we get to read more legalese from the SCO team. zzzzzzFirst, the Ex Parte Motion. Then I will put up the order. I believe I have discerned their real strategy. Yes, it's "anywhere but here", as IBM attorney Evan Chesler put it at the September 15th hearing. But I detect a water-torture strategy as well. Drip, drip, drip, more memoranda, more motions, more words until we all wave our little white flags from the parapet and beg them to stop at any cost. One thing is for sure. They can't appeal on the grounds that they didn't get to tell the court every last thought they could possibly dream up.
