Investment Firm Bids to Buy SCOs UNIX Operations
WebCowboy writes "It appears that there are still enough people out there deluded enough to see value in SCOs UNIX operations. York Capital Management has put in a $36 million bid for SCOs UNIX operations. The offer includes coverage of up to $10 million for payment of legal fees and York Capital would assume ownership of the disputed UNIX IP as well as what is left of the lawsuits.
Interestingly, SCO has offered this up for competitive bid (who would want to though?). Upon completion of the transaction, should bankruptcy court approve, SCOX would become solely a mobile applications provider (which is the only part of SCOs offerings that have undergone any meaningful development for quite some time)."
Eh not so much trigger happy, you are welcome to your opinions. However, holier-than-thou due to admission of possibly being wrong is a bit elitist, as I mentioned. I know you said to you it was FUD, that was why I explained the situation (because we have a debate going and/or to show that it was indeed, not the FUD that you think it is/these are not the FUD statements you are looking for (pun)). Is it wrong to have opposing views in a debate and/or to supplant a statement with information, even if that information disagrees with what someone says/opines(sp?)? I would certainly hope not.
I called you a moron after I felt I had received an insult from you. Our perceptions of "when insult flinging started" are not the same. I did not feel nor take offense to you when I stated you were wrong/incorrect (as you yourself stated you may be). I do not like namecalling, but apparently you missed the implied subtlety there. I do not like people getting +5s for bad info, that spreads FUD. Don't think that was aimed at you, if it happens in situations where I can make an informed decision that the information provided is incorrect, I would post a correcting reply the same as now to whoever it is, period. Also your feelings on a +5 are equally subjective, that doesn't even have any relevance to this discussion, thats implying a "rain on your parade" situation, which is not the case. This isn't a "mod GP down", you know slashdot isn't intended for such a method. I don't know where the feigning ignorance goes on but posting misinformation and/or stating "it may be wrong" doesn't mean someone else is wrong for stating contradictory information. misinformation != accurate info. Simple as that.
I could easily compare this to someone saying (redacted) "we can neither confirm nor deny the torture done to the individual that we related with 9/11" (if you know the situation I'm referencing) and you can imagine how that feels when the question asked was an educated question with evidence. Doesn't get you off the hook.
