SCO Sells Its UNIX Product Line To London Firm

Probably same place they are now, in bankruptcy court, but instead of their creditors being Novel and a pipe fund, it'd be all the plaintiffs' owed damages when SCO was ruled liable for their servers exploding.

But only for certain extremely broad definitions of "pizza."
Some mornings it's hardly worth chewing through the restraints to get out of bed.
The weird thing is they somehow keep reassembling the plane and immediately crashing it again and again.
