| Good for IBM. It's a pretty laughable situation and SCO aren't doing themselves any favours.
Out of interest, how does SCO propose to extract $1300+ from every Linux user? How did they even derive that figure in the first place?

| Well, if SCO does win (which I don't see how they will), it would be the end of Linux as we know it. But I gotta agree, $1300 from end users is crazy... What are they thinking? |

Actaully, there's going to be a TV mini-series on the SciFi cable network in december. There was a preview of the series here in the states last night, but I didn't see it. In part because I've not been particularly fond of SciFi's "Original Mini-Series" (i.e. Dune, Taken, etc.).
@The_Editor
From the cryptic trailers, it appears that Commander Adama will be played by Edward James Almos. Other than him, I don't know anything else about the cast... Although, if you can find the current edition of Sci Fi Magazine, there's supposed to be an "on set visit" interview/article.
