Novell CEO Shakeup Puts Ron Hovsepian in Charge
jht writes "Arriving in my Inbox a few minutes ago (I'm a Novell Partner), was the announcement that effective immediately, CEO Jack Messman and CFO Joe Tibbetts are out of jobs at Novell. Existing president Ron Hovsepian was named CEO, and an interim CFO was named as well. Messman will stay on the board thru the end of October, though. A webcast of the conference call should be available shortly at www.novell.com/company/ir." ukhackster links to ZDNet's coverage of the shakeup, writing "It looks like [Messman's] been blamed for Novell's poor performance in the Linux space versus Red Hat. But can Linux ever be a real cash cow?"

Naaahh, he obviously just changed his name to reflect his new title. I'm personally was names El Presidente.

Ron is also the better choice because he reads and posts on Slashdot even if it is an AC. Thanks for sharing your take on this with us Ron :)

I think you meant to say "NDS for Symbian", not Sybian...
Hmmmm... Imagine a Beowulf cluster of those. That'd be one noisy server room.
No wonder Messman left. He must be tired from all that hanky-panky.
You're got professional and accurate and you've got shoddy.
Does your compiler check your code for you and alert you to errors?
If you can't communicate properly and grammar check your communications, why do you even check your code for accuracy?
It's a simple point of being correct and accurate or looking like a chump because you don't proof your own work.
To illustrate my point, you typed:
"Seriously if your just too damn stupid to figure it out maybe you should not be reading it."
Your you are. Basically, you told me that "just too damn stupid" belongs to me.
If you wish to insult me correctly, a proper version of your sentence is below.
"Seriously, if you're just too damn stupid to figure it out maybe you should not be reading it."
On the other hand, if you can not type it correctly, maybe you should not be writing it?
If professionals can't master the basics of 5th grade English it's just a poor reflection on themselves and how they come across to others. In a question and answer session with President Bush, a woman from a professional news organization submitting a question for GWB, asked him if he "conversated" regularly with the person in question. Yes, she looked like a chump on national TV. As did her organization for hiring a reporter who uses words that do not exist.
