Final Judgment — SCO Loses, Owes $3,506,526 265
Xenographic writes "SCO has finally lost to Novell, now that Judge Kimball has entered final judgment against SCO. Of course, this is SCO we're talking about. There's still the litigation in bankruptcy court, which allowed this case to resume so that they could figure out just how much SCO owes, which is $3,506,526, if I calculated the interest properly, $625,486.90 of which will go into a constructive trust. And then there's the possibility that SCO could seek to have the judgment overturned in the appeals courts, or even the Supreme Court when that fails. Of course, they need money to do that and they don't really have much of that any more. Remember how Enderle, O'Gara and company told us that SCO was sure to win? I wonder how many people have emailed them to say, 'I told you so.'"

They could always apply for a government bailout package.

Now can we dismember the corpse, seal it in a hardwood box, put the box 12 feet under ground, cover it with at least a couple of tons of concrete, and then build a parking lot over the spot?
I don't want any chance of this zombie coming back again and demanding royalties.

SCO gets a final judgement and loses $3.5m. Someone (Missouri) finally files a RICO suit against the RIAA. Our do-nothing Congress actually gets the balls enough to stand up to the automotive industry.
At this point I'm halfway expecting to see a copy of Duke Nukem Forever in my stocking.

Don't forget the garlic you need to put in the coffin.
And make sure and kill any ghoul servants. They're always trying to resurrect their masters.
I suggest you start by a scheme of napalm applied liberally to the offices of their legal representation.

It stands for "hit points", though in some games like World of Warcraft this statistic is also called "health".
220 doesn't seem very good, though. In 3.x WoW that's not much of an improvement at all. Heck, I think his laptop would have better stats if it dropped Ferrari and took up mining for the Toughness bonus. Or perhaps it should take up blacksmithing, so it could add some gem sockets.

My favourite Enderle quote of late:
"Next Monday, the Intel Core I7 launches, and Iâ(TM)ve been using a system that Intel sent out which not only has the Core I7 and X58 chipset, but two 4870 X2 ATI graphics cards and two of the companyâ(TM)s new high-speed flash drives.
To say that this system, (which has 4 real cores, and 4 virtual cores through hyperthreading, for a total of 8) is fast would be vastly understating the experience. The word amazing comes to mind, and I can hardly wait to put Windows 7 on it (is there such a thing as blindingly fast, squared?)"
Hahahaha

Actually they fit the criteria of the other companies getting the bailouts:
#1 Can't balance a budget.
#2 Stupid or insane CEOs and upper management.
#3 Lobby Congresspeople to try and vote for certain bills to be passed so they owe them favors for a bailout.
#4 Annoying corporate culture that makes no sense.
#5 Pissed away most of their money on some stupid lawsuit.
#6 Blames someone or something else for their financial woes instead of their bad management and bad accounting books.
