Actually, I find the whole SCO case very, very unsettling. Maybe I'm 
becoming paranoid as I approach middle age (which I will be in less than 
2 months from now). It seems to me that you can bring a lawsuit against 
anybody for anything nowadays. You don't even have to tell them what 
they did wrong or anything. A lot of people say that Singapore (where I 
live) is a "police-state", but I don't see how the States is any 
different if I can sue my customers/neighbours/etc., without showing 
evidence of wrong-doing. Isn't that the same as detention without trial?

I don't mean to insult anyone, but if somebody can explain the process 
in this lawsuit (and counter-suit by IBM) to me, that would really help!
