Darl McBride Leaving SCO?

JoGiles writes "Linux-watch is reporting that while The SCO Group may go on to pursue its plans with a $100 million buyout, it will do so without its longtime CEO Darl McBride. Buried in the proposed MOU (Memorandum of Understanding) between Unix vendor and Linux litigator SCO and SNCP (Stephen Norris & Co. Capital Partners) is the note that "upon the effective date of the Proposed Plan of Reorganization, the existing CEO of the Company, Darl McBride, will resign immediately.""

    Did I disappoint you or let you down?
    Should I be feeling guilty or let the judges frown?
    'Cause I saw the end before we'd begun,
    Yes I saw you were blinded and I knew I had won.

    Goodbye my lover.
    Goodbye my friend.
    You have been the one.
    You have been the one for me.

    I will agree with you on every point you raised. I had not considered those facts. I would like to inform you that I was once a day trader dealing with currencies and a 20% return per month is pretty possible. But I must also mention that success in the stock market or even forex market is tough. I made money (lots of it) in a day.

    I once remember making over USD 6,000 in a single day...that was when our trade deficit numbers were read and the market went wild. But I was also burnt several times to the point that I asked myself what I was doing.

    I know from statistics that success in this field is less than 5%. That is dismal. I thought of buying some stock predicting software but the cost is just too much, over US$3,000. What is your formula for success in this business? Do these softwares work? I'd like to know. Thanks.

    He wanted to spend more time suing his family for theft of his genetic source code.
