SCO Stock Continues Downward Spiral

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the coming-in-for-a-nosedive dept.

tobiasly writes "TechNewsWorld reports that three and a half years after SCO saw its stock price increase tenfold to US$20.50 following the filing of its lawsuit against IBM, it closed Tuesday at US$2.28 per share, or two cents less than where it was before the lawsuit. This follows a sustained slide fed by poor earnings results and courthouse reversals which, according to OSDL CEO Stuart Cohen, shows that 'Linux and open source software are bigger than any one company. Linux has won in the courts and is winning in the marketplace.'"

    and the executive stock dumping began shortly thereafter, what do you make of this situation?
    SCO executives are such nice people that they decided to share the wealth that would undoubtably follow from their brilliant lawsuit idea with lucky investors?

    It isn't really 32 bit colour; it's 24 bit colour with 8 bits reserved for an alpha channel. With the alpha channel applied to the 24 bits, it's still 24 bit colour.
