    The Official Final Fantasy 11 Fan Club Announces acquisition of SCO

    By Tim Copperfield

    New York, NY - #FFXI (The Official Final Fantasy 11 Fan Club) today announced acquisition of
    The SCO Group for $26.9 million in stock and $40 million in FFXI game credits.

    #FFXI today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire the intellectual property and technology assets of
    The SCO Group, a leading provider of Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt, based in Lindon, Utah. #FFXI's acquisition of SCO technology
    will help #FFXI sign up more members worldwide. In addition to developing new solutions, #FFXI will use SCO engineering expertise
    and technology to enhance the #FFXI member services.

    "I'd love to see these #FFXI types slowly consumed by millions of
    swarming microbes and converted into harmless and useful biochemicals." said an anonymous slashdot poster, blinded by the
    #FFXI success in achieving first post on a popular geek news website, slashdot.org.

    "This #FFXI shit is getting out of hand. Slashdot needs troll filters. Or better yet a crap flood mod that I can exclude
    from my browsing. Seriously, a good troll is art, what you dumb fucks are doing is just plain stupid." said spacecowboy420.

    macewan, on linuxquestions said
    "Thanks for that link to the SCO quotes page. My guess is that they want to be bought out. Hrm, think they want #FFXI to buy them??"

    After careful consideration and debate, #FFXI board of directors agreed to purchase
    6,426,600 preferred shares and 113,102 common shares (the equivalent of 150,803 ADSs) of SCO,
    for an aggregate consideration of approximately US$26.9 million and approximately $40 million for FFXI fans that were working
    in Lindon, Utah offices of The SCO Group.

    If all goes well, the final decision is to be expected shortly, followed by transfer of most SCO FFXI fans from their Lindon, UT
    offices to the #FFXI Headquarters in New York.

    I suggest every American write to their congressional representative (I did) and complain that outsourcing has resulted in our tax and medical records going overseas. There is ample proof to support this claim, so let's act now to combat is nasty example of globalization.

    Are you GAY [klerck.org]?
    Are you a INTO ANIMU [mugshots.org]?
    Are you a ALONE FOR LIFE [gay-sex-access.com]?


    Doesn't a "yes" answer to the second question pretty much guarantee a "yes" to the other two?

    Oh, sure, there's CowboyNeal, who's into anime, but happens to have dozens of hot chicks hanging around his place, sucking his massive cock all day long, but he's the exception to the rule.

    What?

    He doesn't?

    And they don't?

    And it isn't?

    And he's actually attracted to...?

    Allow me to restate: "Doesn't a "yes" answer to the second question absolutely unequivocally guarantee a "yes" to the other two?
