    That's a bit harsh. Couldn't they just have fired him?

      Can't fire him - he's inflammable.

      You cannot fire that which does not work.

      That's not what your boss will say when he finds out you were on /. instead of working.

    For some background, Darl McBride was the CEO who saw the Linux company SCO through some of the hardest times the company ever went through. As CEO, McBride redefined SCO so as to make it one of the most talked-about computer companies ever. His leadership pushed the SCO reputation to limits most companies never reach.

    SCO is a company for the history books nowadays, but just a few years ago it was one of the most influential companies around, garnering interest and vile from MS and a host of Linux vendors. They will be missed.

      Darl called. He wants to thank you for this verbiage will be utilized in his resume'.
