SEC Investigating SCO?

Udo Schmitz writes "As Groklaw reports, the SCO Group stated in a SEC filing from yesterday: 'In addition, regulators or others in the Linux market and some foreign regulators have initiated or in the future may initiate legal actions against us, all of which may negatively impact our operations and future operating performance.' Does this mean the SEC finally started to pull some stops? SCOs and Canopys financial dealings (Vultus acquisition anyone?) long ago lead to speculations in the Linux community about the legality of their business practices, or the whole lawsuit just being a stock scam."

    Who is the mod who was stupid enough to classify these comments as Troll? These are dead-on ontopic and informative/insightful.

    I wish I had points. You deserve better.

    Who modded this funny? Insightful, yes, Informative yes, but funny? I don't think there's anything funny about it.

    Through the use of cookies and ip addresses, I think /. should also limit AC posts to one every 10 or 30 minutes.

    If you want to be an AC, then exposure should be limited.

    Hahahah! In the very article you link me to to debunk my comment...

    "Gore never claimed to have "invented" the Internet. What he said was: During my service in the United States Congress I took the initiative in creating the Internet."

    So my joke works after all.. because I did say CREATE and not INVENT.

    Go look up the word "initiative" texan.

    I know that's too many syllables and it makes your brain hurt, but give it a try anyway.

    Also, it's ironic you criticize me for a typo, when you obviously don't have a solid understanding of the English language.
