BayStar Sets Lawyers on SCO

Posted by Hemos on from the racking-up-the-billable-hours dept.

myster0n writes "According to The Register: 'SCO's attempts to rescue its relationship with BayStar, its biggest backer, have come to naught. On Friday morning, Eastern time, SCO announced that the stock buyback deal it agreed with the unhappy investor had closed. Two hours and five minutes later, Baystar issued a statement saying that a) no it hadn't and b) we'll see you in court, matey.'" Thanks to The Reg for the write-up.

    Jesus. Seriously? Lately I only read Slashdot for the +5 Funny, everything else I get from The Register.

    I assume South Park picked up 'aboot' from somewhere, but I'll be damned if I know where.

    It sounds more like it comes from a Scottish accent than anything else.

    Congrats on repeating a lame joke for the 1000th time. You are a truly talented comedian and deserve your +5 funny.

    Well, as a Canadian who lives in Toronto (one of the country's largest population centres), I haven't heard ANYONE say 'aboot', EVER, except when quoting South Park. 'Eh?' plenty of times, and I even catch myself saying it once in a while, but 'aboot' never. Perhaps the Newfies say it that way, but I'd want a Newfie to confirm it. Have you ever travelled in Canada and heard 'aboot' yourself, or had someone you know directly (not a friend-of-a-friend) tell you they heard it?

    Another highly important SCO article, so we can be kept abreast of really important goings on showing how nasty SCO is (for those of us who just did not know).

    Or not.
