SCO to Unix developers, We want you back
NoGuffCheck writes "CRN is reporting that Darl McBride is looking to get Unix developers back onboard with cash incentives for completing training in SCO's new mobile application kit; EdgeBuilder. It doesn't stop there; there's a 12-cylinder BMW or $100,000 dollars for the development of the best wireless application."
* All developers are required to pay their $699 SCO licensing fees at the door.

A pox on any and all who would sign on to duh-arl's 2-bit shakedown fart of a company.
Go fuck yourself.
You need more cylinders to pull the extra dead weight
This issue is a bit more complicated than you think.
You gotta give 'em credit. It looks like SCO is finally trying to produce something more substantial than subpoenas.

Those darn CRN folks, always leaving parts of the quotes out. Here's a reprint, I put Darl's original comments missing from the report in '[]'.

"During the last 25 years, SCO has been committed to [destroying the reputability of] the Unix platform and continues to reaffirm its commitment [to make fools of ourselves while the rest of the world actually accomplishes something useful]," Darl McBride, SCO president, said in a teleconference Tuesday morning.
I applaud him for finally admitting what his company has been doing. Of course, he can shove his BMWs up his
There's a 68.71% chance you're right.
The winner of the bmw may notice that no matter how many times he washes it... it just won't come clean.
I was kinda hoping they'd offer SCO Linux Licenses as the top prize. On the other hand, with $100K, you can buy 143 of them, at $699.00 each!!!

I was almost intrigued enough to head over to SCO's site just to see what "biztones" are, but then I realized I don't have all afternoon to scrub my browser clean.
SCO should make a reality show. A reality show about a company going to the ruin. Then we could get people to call in (1-900 number of course) to decide who they are going to sue next. I'm sure it'll be a hit. In fact, I'm of to the patent office right now. That's about the only way I see them making any money.
please excuse my apathy
hmmm any others?

It's a pity...I actually like their product. Time to give postgres a gander I suppose.

arroot: so...
SCOdev: what?
arroot: how 'bout scheduling a grep job to see if there is any SCO IP in Linux?
SCOdev: are you crazy? what if the server is logging and the resource throttle triggers an alarm to the CEO?
arroot: but I love you so much.
SCOdev: it's too risky.
arroot: pleeeeease?
