SCO Zombie McBride's New Plan For World Litigation

eldavojohn writes "Years after you thought it was all over, Groklaw is reporting that Darl McBride (ex-CEO of SCO) has formed a new company that is buying SCO's mobile business for peanuts — but he's also going to get 'certain Intellectual Property' with the deal. You may recall that McBride was the brains behind the Linux lawsuits that SCO launched and it appears he may be orchestrating an exit route where he escapes with some IP intact, in order to wreak havoc once again. Hopefully this is the part at the end of the movie where the zombie comes back to life one last time only to have the hero deliver the final final blow. When this news broke upon the investment world, SCO's stock skyrocketed a blistering 11%, bringing it up seven cents to a full seventy cents — a level which it has not achieved since 2007."

    0.07$ to 0.70$ is 10 times or 1000%. It is not 11% no matter how good your accounts are at hiding numbers.

    I think you just described the business model for the entire American economy.

    Ssssshhh. Haven't you figured out the Slashdot moderation system yet? Point that out about an individual bastard like Darl McBride, and you get a +5 Insightful. Point out that people like Darl McBride are the rule rather than the exception, and the local libertarian/free-market-utopian mod squad buries you as -1 (Flamebait|Offtopic|Troll). And God help you if you drag out the big guns and point out that the underlying theory of modern capitalism involves multiple violations of the Second Law. No one will ever hear from you again.
