> If your argument is that Caldera might not actually have the rights to UNIX in the first place to grant the license, that's fair.

Yeah, everyone knows Unix is owned by SCO, just like C++, Linux, and the look on your face, which is priceless.

(So help me, SCO claimed to own C++ at one point:

> C++ is one of the properties that SCO owns today and we frequently are approached by customers who wish to license C++ from us and we do charge for that. Those arrangements are done on a case-by-case basis with each customer and are not disclosed publicly. C++ licensing is currently part of SCO's SCOsource licensing program.

Maybe they claimed to own an implementation of C++ but it would be typical of them to claim to own the moon and sun and be sublicensing the stars to God.)

You know, writing code that doesn't leak memory is really not that hard.

There. I've debunked Java, Python, PHP, Perl, and Rust.

(Or maybe, just maybe, tools should make our lives easier.)


Hm. Run this analysis for diabetes drugs and insulin.

It's interesting how moralistic the media becomes when fat people lose weight without "earning it" by their lights. Almost like it's some kind of bias.

Yes, Netscape and MSIE on Solaris. This goes back to the 1990s:

This would be more convincing if I hadn't lived through BSOD... I mean Windows 95.

Hey, they fixed the BSODs eventually. That screen's black now.


So it's still a BSOD!


OK, you can't have your preferred environment because someone else has a different use-case.

Moreover, people will condescend to you and insist your setup never worked, nobody ever used it, and nobody cares that it's going away. Plus, they state that you are just being difficult, if not delusional, when you say that you are quite happy with how things are. I mean, your way never worked, so how could it have been your way at all? You must be a troll, troll. Stop trolling.


Please keep your petty bickering off HN. Complaining about topic-ness is off-topic.

Besides, this is very on-topic. Precedent: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6912967 (331 points)
