MandrakeSoft Files for Bankruptcy Protection

Posted by michael on from the goodwill-not-enough-to-live-on dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It's official: MandrakeSoft has filed a 'declaration de cessation des paiements' - the French equivalent of a U.S. Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing. From a statement issued by the company: 'This reorganization of liabilities enables MandrakeSoft to continue its current operations, which are showing increases in revenue and significant decreases in expenses. MandrakeSoft's strategic partners are supporting the company in this process and the MandrakeSoft team is focused on continuing to deliver high quality services and products to its customers.' Best wishes to MandrakeSoft as they work through this process."

    It's not written in aramaic...it's English! That's the language of the trolls! Maybe this message will tell us where we can find CowboyNeal's golden fingernail clippings and set an example for all of the slashdot kingdom! It reads,

    "To f## the #i#Cl#p#ngs##, y#u se##ch woo## of C##ada in backpa#k# of AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH."

    Strange, it just says "ahhhhhhhhhhhhh" at the end. Perhaps this troll was dictating to another troll as he died? The only "ahhhhhhhhhh" I know of is an old folk-lore tail about a wizard of "ahhhhhhhhhh-zzzz"; "oz" for short. Perhaps he was dictating and died as he was trying to mention Wozniack's codename: WOZ. It wouldn't make sense for him to dictate "ahhhhhhhhhhh" if he were dying, I think it ... IT IT GOT ESR, RUN !!! IT'S A MOUNTY!
