    That's why patching local privilege escalstion bugs is important.

    Except that's the recommended course of action for a rooted UNIX/Linux/BSD machine too (along with figuring out how it was rooted, plugging the hole, and preserving any evidence).

    Boot a clean kernel from removeable, non-writeable media (closed-session CD or write-protected floppy) when doing the rootkit detection. (some details are left to the reader as an exercise)

    It's also preserving them. I went to check yesterday's price for SCOX online today... nope that stock no longer exists... it's SCOXE... which has no history as it didn't exist yesterday. I've tried to check what certain government acts said before the current provincial government ammended them... nope... the old acts have been ammended, so they're gone from the provincial government's website.

    Can shareholders call for a vote of no confidence in the leadership of the company?

    Yes. By moving to declare each board member's seat vacant. One company here (a retail co-operative) is facing just such a possibility next month.

  13. Re:Interesting on SCO Possibly Delisted from NASDAQ · · Score: 1
    So, I wonder if at a certain point, it would be worth buying into SCO, just so you could put a few votes behind a motion to 'Fire everybody involved with the company without compensation, liquidate the assets, and pour salt on the site of the building'.

    The company must still abide by all it's contracts an government regulations, but can be liquidated.

    Also, can shareholders vote that the CEO should be 'kicked in the jimmy for bein' a foo'?

    A motion to commit a criminal act (felony in the US) is always out of order. Assault is a criminal act.

  14. Not quite on SCO Possibly Delisted from NASDAQ · · Score: 4, Insightful
    A low or de-listed stock does not spell death for a company. it does mean:
    • It's much harder to raise capital in the future
    • If a majority of shareholders think the company's assets are worth more than the outstanding shares, it'll be liquidated. As long as the majority of shares are held by "true believers" this can't happen.

    Wasn't there also one in the late 70's or early 80's about a jail in the desert (Nevada?) that had no fences, but the inmates wore collars that would explode if they went too far?

    In addition to not seeing any problem with this, I see it as a great good for society. Keeping lesser criminals out of jails could save a lot of public money, and reduce the chances that they'll become "hardened" criminals.
