Important Site InformationPLEASE NOTE - Anonymous posting temporarily disabled due to the spambot attack. It will be turned back on as soon as I can block this current wave of spambots. Sorry. Did you know this site's content is primarily - YOURS? Yes, the site owner occasionally contributes an article (in between playing around with the Scoop stuff). But mostly, it is up to you our readers and members to write the articles about IP that you want others to know about. DiaryBy mikey, Section Diary

The other day I had an interesting thought as I was collecting my mail. My mailbox happens to be located on a horse farm - Hairy Dan Acres. It was a very hot day, the large brown piles were really smelling bad that day. Inexplicably, a thought, rather a question, popped into my head.

This diary entry was originally posted as a comment to the article Software Rights Archive Changes Website. A follow-up comment asked me to post it standalone to encourage more discussion.
I ask registered users to rate comments here by our resident crapflooder that are meant only to annoy readers without abandon. Just leave one of the crapflood posts visible that gets across the gist of what the remaining crapfloods merely regurgitate. (64 comments, 1086 words in story) Full Story By mikey, Section Diary
The SCO v IBM case seems to have created the most target rich tin-foil hat environment that I have ever witnessed.
Along with every other Yahoo SCOX Poster, I have been accused of being a SCO Astroturfer by Pamela Jones of groklaw, and several anonymous posters have accused this entire site of being an Anti F/OSS site. (114 comments, 284 words in story) Full Story By mikey, Section Diary
I am in the planning stages of developing an issue discussion aggregator. Something that will aggregate posts from the CCL'ed yahoo scox/ckx boards that I have been collecting and posts here to scoop. What I want to do is collect basic information from posts and make it available for multiple interfaces.

Warning, rant ahead, do not expect white paper material ahead....
I took the day off from work today. I am waiting on the HVAC people to come replace my dorked Heat Pump/Air Conditioner unit. I have been without it for three weeks now. If it wasn't for the wood burning buck stove in my living room, we would not have been able to survive the freezing weather downstairs, where our kitchen, living room, and my office is located. I have lived in the boondocks for almost three years now, and thanks to a home buyers warranty the cost of the replacement is not coming out of my pocket.

s self appointed leader of my own imaginary, yet endlessly entertaining TFHB (Tin Foil Hat Brigade), I have just been transmitted some rather amusing thoughts. I blame Harlan Wilkerson's recent commentary about Richard Stallman and the GPL for transmitting these thoughts in my head. Craftily hidden comments, deep in the bowels of the ip-wars.net article Patents Pledged By IBM, Harlan posts some zingers towards RMS and his GPL.

Yes, I am officially a BGE™, SCO AstroTurfer™, SCO Shill™, and a Yahoo™. A bitter empty shell of a man. What went wrong? Where did I go off track? What sacred groklaw posting rule did I violate? Why was I banished? What was my crime?
Hell if I know. PJ won't tell me. When I asked her, she asked me if I wrote glsuck. So I have to assume that my crime was loving groklaw too much. (65 comments, 634 words in story) Full Story By mikey, Section Diary
