This week we interview Darl McBride who
recently decided that suing IBM for distributing what he says is
software owned and patended by the SCO Group. Of course it has
nothing to do with the fact that the group is going under financially
and IBM refused to buy them out. The photo above shows you Darl,
but for fear of your own lawsuit against me I'll say it's not really
you. Are you OK with that? |
|
Darl: |
|
Well actually no I'm
not. I have many lawsuits pending on photographs of me.
While true the photos only show the back of a head that I claim is mine,
I still say the back of my head is proprietery, and I want royalties.
Do you have any really hot coffee? |
| |
|
|
| Bob: |
|
No I don't think that's a good idea.
How do you feel about Al Gore's claim that he invented the internet? |
|
Darl: |
|
OK, I'll
give him that one. |
| |
|
|
| Bob: |
|
You seem a bit lawsuit happy, do you have
anything to say about that? |
|
Darl: |
|
Just
because I sprinkle water on the steps of government buildings on icy
cold days, doesn't make me lawsuit happy. |
| |
|
|
| Bob: |
|
What about the broken glass you take to
restaurants with you? |
|
Darl: |
|
Purely
coincidence. I've been meaning to throw it away. |
| |
|
|
| Bob: |
|
Are there any other inventions
you have rights to besides IBM's Linux? |
|
Darl: |
|
Well I'm
certain it was one of my ancestors that invented the wheel. I'll
be filing suit on that when we're done with IBM. |
| |
|
|
| Bob: |
|
Just curious, what kind of car
do you drive? |
|
Darl: |
|
An old Ford Pinto with
no back bumper and Firestone tires. |
| |
|
|
| Bob: |
|
Oh yeah I see it out the window
parked right next to the sixth green on our neighboring golf course. You
haven't filed any malpractice lawsuits yet, have you? |
|
Darl: |
|
When I have Xrays
done, I usually flip them over when the doctor is out of the room, but
most of them are pretty wise to that. They'll slip up sooner or
later. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| Bob: |
|
I'm not sure there's any hope for you at the
Pearly Gates. |
|
Darl:: |
|
Are you
kidding me? I figure there's a big court room up there, and I
think it's about time someone got sued for those acts of God. |
| |
|
|
| Bob: |
|
You're married right, how did you choose
your wife? |
|
Darl: |
|
Her
maiden name is McDonald. Her family ran a diner that served
hamburgers about 85 years ago. We fell in love. |
| |
|
|
| Bob: |
|
Well that's your story, and you should stick
to it. What about Big Tobacco, did you go after them yet? |
|
Darl: |
|
Cough!
Cough! There are just so many hours in a day. On your advice
though, I'll start smoking heavily. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| Bob: |
|
Please don't ever quote me.
You seem to be a 'big fish' kind of guy, so don't waste your time. |
