Half of SCO's Accountants Quit

Posted by Zonk on from the rats-know-when-to-leave-a-ship dept.

Approximately half of SCO's finance department has resigned or been fired. Two who resigned had over ten years of experience each. One can only assume that they know what's about to happen to SCO."

    Darl can totally turn this thing around. Just you watch. It's just another minor setback. They'll be vindicated - just you see. Soon as they get over this small bump, they'll start raking in the cash from all those UNIX licenses that they're going to get from every single Linux user out there. Just as soon as...

    Ok, a joke's a joke but I can't type anymore. My fingers started spontaneously bleeding.

    Ouch, please remember me never to get bankrupt. You mean please remind you. Unless you want to be remembered, in the sense of undoing the dismemberment.
