125,000 Ubuntu PCs to land in Pakistani students' laps

Excuse me, but if these are XOs . . .

. . . then they're based on Fedora, not Ubuntu. If they're not XOs, then maybe they're Ubuntu-based laptops that are "like" XOs maybe? The reporter needs to do a better job being clear about this in this story.

SCO 'disappointed' as shares plunge 70 per cent

No, Steve -- still the wrong Monty Python reference

While the part of the movie that Steve J. Rapaport describes actually is more fitting as a description of SCO's (ahem) delusion, the reference to "not dead yet" comes early in 'Holy Grail,' where Eric Idle has a cart full of dead people and is shouting "Bring out your dead . . . " Michael Palin brings out an old man who's not quite dead -- "I'm not dead yet . . .", and makes a point of saying so (with an argument ensuing about whether Idle can take him or not, while the old man on Palin's shoulder says "I think I'll take a walk . . . ).

But back on the topic, as someone from Santa Cruz who has followed this from the beginning, it looks like curtains for SCO (which, thankfully, is now based somewhere far from the shores of the Pacific).
