SCO Receives Nasdaq's Delisting Notice
An anonymous reader writes "This somewhat amusing press release of sorts tells us one of those things we've all been waiting a while for. SCO(X) has announced that 'it received a Nasdaq Staff Determination letter on December 21, 2007 indicating that as a result of having filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Panel has determined to delist the company's securities from the Nasdaq Stock Market and will suspend trading of the securities effective at the open of business on Thursday, December 27, 2007.' PJ at Groklaw has surmised that with effectively zero cash resources left, Novell doesn't stand to get much more than SCO's furniture, if even that.
Ding dong, is the wicked witch finally dead yet?"
I wonder if you could get a sandwich with SCO stock right now. . . .

Haha!
God, schmod. I want my monkey man!
Thanks for the link. I especially love the earnings per share at N/A and the price to earnings ratio at N/A. Great business model, Darl!
Maybe they could sell the chairs to Steve Ballmer?
AT&ROFLMAO
I'm fine with that. One of my friends in Redmond could use a few more chairs.
Miguel.
Let us take a moment to remember SCO, and all that they did for us. For yea, they did take douchebaggery to new heights, and may their executives never again find work, and their lawyers develop sores. May their stockholders be infested with fleas in places they cannot scratch, and the offices that they occupied cursed for all time. As we prepare to bury this pitiful excuse for a company in the grave of history, may its death continue to be slow and painful.
And let us say:
Bwa ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha.
Ha.

Chairs... conference tables... lights... cubicles... free copy of Unix with each purchase...

guess I should have paid my $699 licensing fee.
...is SCO's blurb at the bottom. I quote: "SCO owns the core UNIX operating system, originally developed by AT&T/Bell Labs and is the exclusive licensor to UNIX-based system software providers". Uhm, SCO...

If an experiment works, something has gone wrong.
You could probably sell the same chair back to Ballmer several times :)

Novell doesn't stand to get much more than SCO's furniture,
I'll be happy to liquidate it for them. Imagine being able to sell SCO office furniture on eBay? Along with a certificate of authenticity. Heck, I'd bid on a piece myself. It's like owning a piece of the Titanic of tech history.

There was a guy a while back who put in a bid for 1337 shares at 0.07 cents, or something like that. He may end up owning the entire company. :-)
Help! I'm a slashdot refugee.
They still have SCO's good name to sell, don't they? ;-)
From SCO site:
SCO intends to maintain business as usual throughout the Chapter 11 proceedings. Subject to court approval, SCO will use the cash flow from its operations to meet its capital needs throughout the reorganization process.
Other companies such as Delta Airlines, Texaco, Dow Corning, K-Mart, United Airlines, Toys R' Us, Macy's Department Stores and others have emerged from Chapter 11 protection after restructuring themselves for success. We intend to do the same.
1. Sell chair to Ballmer
2. Duck
3. Sell chair back to Ballmer
4. Duck
5. goto 3
6. profit
How do I get to 6 again?
Paying taxes to buy civilization is like paying a hooker to buy love.
Ok, let's do a David Letterman style top-10 list on ways SCO could "restructure themselves for success"! Ready?
Weaselmancer
rediculous.
I'd be wary here. Selling you the same old shit several times again and again is either already copyrighted by MS or EA.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
1. Sell chair to Ballmer
2. Profit!
3. Duck
4. goto 1
5. OUCH
6. PROFIT!! (lawsuit)

You're not selling him the chair, you're selling him the "right to throw."
