Given the quality of SCO's, ah, "evidence" so far, they're clearly not hoping to win this case on its merits. So here's my question: What does it cost to buy a judge these days? Is that amount large or small compared to a $3B judgment? What if your under-the-table arrangement is for a percentage of the gross, as it is with your lawyers? Although, if that's your play, why bother to hire good lawyers? And really, I thought Boies et al. were supposed to be at least *competent*; if the best they can do (they *do*, after all, have the budget to hire adequate technical consultants) is a couple hours' worth of hacking together find and grep scripts, and then appending a Google query, why are they worth millions and millions of dollars? It's all very bizarre. Adam
