It's been an open secret that controversial SCO CEO Darl McBride was being forced out. Now, in an interview with the Salt Lake City Tribune, McBride admits that his days at SCO are numbered. In the interview, McBride said, "Clearly when we draw up a battle plan for what we've been working for the last several years, trying to get SCO's intellectual rights fought through in the courts and the marketplace, the endgame didn't have this sort of outcome for me personally."

Darl was the designated cannon fodder from the beginning, and nobody believes a word he says. Not even his puppetmasters. I hope the paycheck was worth being a public buffoon for all those years. Maybe my values are upside-down, but I don't think any paycheck can be big enough to make it worth behaving that way.

Well, TC, i agree with you, but that's why our combined net worth is probably less than 1/10 of Darl's.
There's more to life than net worth. Like not being a figure of public ridicule :)
> Like not being a figure of public ridicule :)

Well, that one was shot a long time ago for me. :)

Which is probably just as well, or I'd never dare to post on public fora like this.
If Darl were capable of "just shushing", he would have done so long before now.

My hope is that, when the entire law suit comes crashing down around SCOX's ears, Darl is brought up on personal charges for all the blatantly fraudulent statements he's made in the last 5 years.
Ok, jdixon, so you're saying you're an unpaid figure of public ridicule? What are you trying to do, make Darl look smart?

Suddenly my head hurts...ow....
> so you're saying you're an unpaid figure of public ridicule?

Let's just say that people often marvel at my agility and dexterity and leave it at that, :)
Darl is my hero. He is one of the smartest men I know of...

Wait...all of that "pain-killer" I've been using to get past a wicked tooth-ache (yes, I will do almost ANYTHING to avoid the dentist, including giving an abcess time to heal on its own) is starting to wear off...

Darl? Is that really you?

But, but...you're a MORON!!!!

And yet, you're rich and I'm not.

Crap.
>And yet, you're rich and I'm not.

> Crap.

Careful there Dino you may start envying the wrong people. Drug Dealers and Arms dealers spring to mind immediately ;-)

My advice: Get to that dentist immediately!
>My advice: Get to that dentist immediately!

Nah. Abcess has healed up. Wife came closer to killing me than the tooth did, though. She shared your sentiment.

Interesting little story regarding toothaches:

In 1935, Fred and Al Key set a flight endurance record that wouldn't be broken until 1958: 653 hours aloft in an airplane. They rigged up their own refueling system and did mid-air maintenance on the engine to stay aloft.

During the flight, Al got a toothache. After 4 days, he lanced it with a needle pulling thread soaked in antibiotic that had been transferred into the plane.
