Slashdot Mirror
McBride At A Loss For Words
An anonymous reader writes "That, at least is the verdict of Linux Business Week's Maureen O'Gara, who reports that, with all the latest twists and turns, with BayStar and RBC in particular, SCO's CEO was finally bereft of words to describe what it's all been like. In the end he settled for 'This is like...nothing.' As O'Gara herself says, the latest SCO news is plain weird."
he was referring to how much his stock will be worth.
no no ... see, he was refering to what SCO has based their case on
vodka, straight up, thank you!
Thats like.... woah
SCO's CEO was finally bereft of words to describe what it's all been like. In the end he settled for 'This is like...nothing.'
McBride then followed-up: "But at least I'm not 'Robert S.' Rumsfeld,"
Opinions on the Twiddler2 hand-held keyboard?
So McBride figures BayStar doesn't have a legal leg to stand on
Brought to you by the words "Shoe", "Other" and "Foot".
As if all that weren't enough, I've tried to bring you people gold, and getting my home IP banned from Slashdot was my only thanks.
This will be my last post to Slashdot as Mr. Darl McBride. Mod it up or mod it down, I don't much care anymore. I'm going back to my simple ranch hand ways while Boies and Sontag round up the rest of whatever's left for our ginormous IP firesale, if there's even anything there to capitalize on anymore.
Thanks to those of you who have moderated me up in the past, those of you who took the time for pithy and cute replies even if you didn't like me, and those who lightened up enough to have a laugh instead of freaking. It's been like... like... it's been like nothing else.

funny, that's what my acountant said when I asked about the money I had left after investing in SCO.
Or he can claim that someone else took his words and are using them in an open forum while infringing on licenses in the process of doing so.
"BayStar's lawyers, he said, still haven't told SCO's lawyers how SCO breached their contract. So McBride figures BayStar doesn't have a legal leg to stand on and won't be able to get its money back."
That's right, Darl, and don't you just hate it when someone accuses you of doing something wrong but refuses to tell you precisely what?
He was going to say "This is like that bank heist in Illinois that went wrong, we had to shoot our way out.", but realized he was talking to the press and not his buddies at Canopy and managed to stop himself just in time with "This is like... nothing".
As we know,
:
There are known knowns.
There are things we know we know.
We also know
There are known unknowns.
That is to say
We know there are some things
We do not know.
But there are also unknown unknowns,
The ones we don't know
We don't know.

I believe what I said yesterday. I don't know what I said, but I know what I think... and I assume it's what I said
A great plot with the SCO stock price plotted over Ululu/Ayer's Rock is here.
Original post with this plot is here.
That reminds me of the scene in the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy where Arthur Dent manages to get the entire crew out of some tricky situation by finding the right button to activate the improbabilty drive.
Asked by Zaphod Beeblebrox if he was responsible, Arthur replies "Oh, it was nothing". The entire crew take his statement literally and continue on with their previous conversation; much to Arthur's annoyance.
Perhaps Darl's wearing his DuoGenta, Superchromatic, Pyro-sensitive sunglasses, which have just turned black.
