Half of SCO's Accountants Quit

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

Groklaw Reader writes "Apparently, SCO's lawyers were working overtime last Sunday, because they wrote a quick plea to the bankruptcy court for permission to hire accounting temps. Why? 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."

    Ahahahahah, brilliant. I'm curious enough to risk being offtopic: is that Shelley page some kind of Onion? Or is it for real? This is not a funny question, I'm getting mixed signals from reading it. It looks like something like the Onion by the sheer absurdity and language used, even the comments are brilliantly funny, but one never knows...

    There is something wrong with masturbating to Britney Spears' crotch shots? Or do you prefer.. K. Fed's crotch shots...?

    The only piece of code they ever showed as being part of the Linux kernel, turned out to have already been released under a BSD license by the original creators and had already been replaced by better alternatives in the Kernel, which made their whole claim seem to go up in smoke.

    Indeed. IIRC, the only piece of code they ever showed went something like this:

    I haven't read the actual code, but I assume the "superior" replacement was:
