The Times of London's James Doran reports that Google's IPO plans are on hold. CEO Eric Schmidt appears to think that market conditions are not right.

    SCO's doing?

    I'm sure this announcement is at least partly resulted from SCO. It's pisses me off that SCO has to fuck up everybody else businesses, too.

    Or this could be unrelated to SCO.. No mention of SCO in the article, but I don't think it's something one would make known.

    NOTICE: SCO has suspended new sales and distribution of SCO Linux until
    the intellectual property issues surrounding Linux are resolved. SCO will,
    however, continue to support existing SCO Linux and Caldera OpenLinux
    customers consistent with existing contractual obligations. SCO offers at
    no extra charge to its existing Linux customers a SCO UNIX IP license for
    their use of prior SCO or Caldera distributions of Linux in binary
    format. The license also covers binary use of support updates distributed
    to them by SCO. This SCO license balances SCO's need to enforce its
    intellectual property rights against the practical needs of existing
    customers in the marketplace.

    The Linux rpms available on SCO's ftp site are offered for download to
    existing customers of SCO Linux, Caldera OpenLinux or SCO UnixWare with
    LKP, in order to honor SCO's support obligations to such customers.

    when you enter a stall, only to find the previous occupant's nest? Like, what were they thinking, just flush it down with your terd. Don't leave the tp on the seat, even if you did do a nice job of placing it neatly on the seat to shield your under-carriage from nasty germs.

    Sometimes, I think it's left there as a suggestion to others that they should also be neat.

    This is really weird.
