SCO Backing Off Linux Invoice Plan

Posted by simoniker on from the step-slowly-away-from-the-paper dept.

rocketjam writes "CNet is reporting that the SCO Group is backing off plans to send invoices to corporate users in an effort to generate more takers of their Linux licensing plan. A spokesman said SCO executives were happy with current progress in the licensing program, and didn't feel they needed to send out invoices yet. SCO also extended the 'introductory' licensing price to the end of October, at which point the amount they are asking will double. Despite SCO's threats, 84 per cent of CIOs in a recent survey said it hasn't affected their plans to implement Linux."

  2. The Story of Kathleen and CmdrTaco by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll
    When Rob Malda was looking for a good wife, he figured out a way to tell if a prospective mate is a virgin or not. Whenever he saw a girl that looked all right he took her out for a ride on his moped. All of a sudden he would stop, unbutton his pants, and show her his tool. "What's that?" says he. "Why it's a pecker," the girl says. So then he would button up his pants. "You aren't what I'm looking for," says he, and back to town they'd go.

    He kept on like that for several years, but all the girls gave him the same answer. Finally he found a pretty little waitress with yellow hair that worked in a hotel. Kathleen Fent was her name. They went riding on his moped, and when he pulled out his cock she just kind of giggled. "Why that's a tee-hee!" says Kathleen. Right then and there Rob Malda know she was just what he wanted. So he and she got married and they were both mighty happy.

    About six months after the wedding, they got to talking about old times. "Honey," says Rob, "how did you come to call my tool a tee-hee, that first time we went riding?" Kathleen replied, "tee-hee is the right word for it and any other girl would tell you the same."

    Rob shot back, "Oh no, out where I was raised they call it a pecker." Kathleen just laughed. "Shucks Rob Malda," she said, "them corn-fed Michigan floozies ain't been around much. Why everyone knows that a pecker is a whole lot bigger than that!"
