Stowell leaves SCO
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, February 13 2007 @ 02:01 PM EST
Well that confirms that SCO is about to go under -- the RATS are starting to
desert the sinking ship. I guess Stowell was able to read the writing on the
wall and jumps ship the second he had the chance to.

Stowell on his Departure
Authored by: Steve Martin on Tuesday, February 13 2007 @ 02:11 PM EST

Stowell:

"Frequently, when I have to make a statement to the media about developments with regard to the progress of our litigation or a certain direction the company was going, I couldn't for legal reasons."
Commentare is left as an exercise for the student.

    Rumors of massive layoffs
    Authored by: DannyB on Tuesday, February 13 2007 @ 02:50 PM EST
    Remember SCO's recent "everything great, no massive layoffs"
    teleconference?

    Prior to that teleconference, there was lots of talk of massive layoffs at SCO.

    Wasn't that teleconference to report SCO results thru the end of Oct 31, 2006?
    (Please correct me if I'm wrong about this.)

    So couldn't SCO have had massive layoffs on Nov 1, 2006, and then in the
    teleconference truthfully said there were no massive layoffs (thru Oct 31,
    2006).

    Just wondering.

    When would the next teleconference or other reporting event be where SCO would
    be required to reveal any actual layoffs after Oct 31?

    Stowell leaves SCO, for an SEO type organization.
    Authored by: gfolkert on Tuesday, February 13 2007 @ 03:09 PM EST
    That is funny. Search Engine Optimization Organizations (SEOs) are Web-Analytic
    Organizations at their core. (or is it the other way around)

    Nothing like PR to put a new paint job on the information for people that don't
    look under the hood and just kick the tires.

    Customer:
    OHHHH Pretty, OHHHH Shiny, I will believe your word its GOOD. Now where is that
    small glass pipe I brought?

    Being in charge of PR for SCO has to be one of the worst
    jobs in the world. You can only move up from there...

    Feels like I should be thinking in terms of rats and sinking ships ...
    Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, February 13 2007 @ 07:04 PM EST
    Trouble is ... it feels more like giving the one lemming who *didn't* jump of
    the cliff with the rest of the [herd?] a hard time for not going with the flow!

    The real mystery is how they have any employees left!

    Sounds like SCO's lawyers are finally fed up
    Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, February 13 2007 @ 07:29 PM EST
    "It was a very difficult decision, but the role of PR for me at SCO has run its course. With the company's ongoing litigation, I was much more limited in what I could do from a PR standpoint," Stowell said.

    In other words, the lawyers are sick and tired of looking like fools in court because he was railing on in public about yet another patently untrue claim, so they've shut him up. I notice the same seems to be true of Darl these days ...

    Stowell and PJ isomorphism?
    Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, February 13 2007 @ 08:14 PM EST
    (Start of tongue-in-cheek humor mode:)

    Anyone else notice the synchronicity between PJ's "health break"
    and Stowell's "career break"? Is there something here we
    don't know about?

    Is it just coincidence, or is there some isomorphism?

    (End of tongue-in-cheek humor mode.)

    My guess is that SCO's new strategy is to blame their failure in this folly on
    PJ. Not the facts, not the evidence, or lack of same, and not the law.

    Yes, its all PJ's fault.

    PJ: Please relax until discovery is FINALLY closed. Although a couple posts on
    the weather in some warm clime would be nice.

    Keep the faith.

    SCOX Incredibly Plumbs New Depths of Desperation, Malice

    I'm certain that the judge will be impressed.

    What a pack of craven imbeciles.

    Get well PJ.

    Work queue? For MathFox
    Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, February 14 2007 @ 06:34 AM EST
    It seems to me that normally PJ acts as the central pin in distributing work.
    Can I suggest that you establish a page called Work Queue or something similar.
    It would need a list of things that need to be transcribed. People could notify
    others via comments that they are tackling particular PDFs.

    I guess the ideal is a wiki page, so that things can be added and removed, but I
    don't think that's possible.

    Perhaps you (everyone) can think of a way that we can use the existing set up to
    jury-rig a workflow system without making it hugely complicated to use.

    Witness Protection Program?
    Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, February 14 2007 @ 08:05 AM EST

    Does the Witness Protection Program extend to civil cases? After all, PJ really
    is dealing with the Mafia here.

    This sure makes me want to attend the next hearing, wearing a button that says,
    "I am PJ". And to make sure that I talk to SCO's lawyers on their way
    in or out.
