Like Sands Through the Hourglass, So Are the Bills in SCO's Bankruptcy - Updated |
|
Wednesday, June 04 2008 @ 10:41 PM EDT
|
So, more filings in the SCO bankruptcy, and more bills. The accountants, Tanner, have filed their 8th interim bill since SCO filed for Chapter 11 protection. Astonishing, isn't it? The grand total of all of Tanner's bills comes to $264,296.30 plus expenses. When SCO first filed, back in September of 2007, it actually still had some money. How about now? Meanwhile, we wait for the Utah court to decide how it will rule. Nothing on Pacer today again. What is there to do? How about coming up with some haiku?
Here's Steve Martin's offering:
Five weeks now have passed.
In Utah wheels are turning.
Waiting is no fun. Here's mine: Nothing on Pacer.
Like sands seep through an hourglass
Cash dribbles away... Feel free to come up with your own haiku. We might as well have some fun while we wait.
Update: Someone suggested we might branch out into iambic pentameter, and an anonymous contributor offers this:
How about iambic pentameter? Ok.
Authored by: Anonymous on Thursday, June 05 2008 @ 09:59 PM EDT
Shall I compare thee to a line of code?
Thou art more prolix and less relevant.
Rough drafts do send the analysts away,
And draw attention from the elephant.
But thy transgressions will not disappear,
Nor mitigate thy well deserv'ed fate.
Your contract has begun its final year
And Lindon's lease hath all too short a date.
A thousand eyeballs could not find a match.
Ten thousand nerds have nailed you to the wall.
Too hot the sun of Groklaw lights the sky -
There was no System V in there at all!
So long as we have breath and eyes to see,
So long lives this, and this will finish thee.
(well, nobody said good iambic pentameter)
And if we are branching out, why not a limerick?
An litigious fellow, MacBride,
Linux coattails attempted to ride.
He claimed all the code,
of the coattails he rode,
And tried to spread FUD far and wide. Update 2:
So many of you seem to enjoy haiku, I thought I'd share with you my all-time favorite haiku, although it has nothing to do with SCO. It's by Issa, my favorite haiku poet, who was orphaned very young and mistreated by his stepmother for the rest of his childhood:
My dead mother --
every time I see the ocean.
every time.
Update 3: Another worthy entry:
Sonnet: On A Plan Too Clever by Half
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, June 06 2008 @ 04:01 PM EDT
When in disgrace with Wall Street and men's eyes,
I all alone bewept my outcast state;
While deaf investors spurn'd my bootless cries,
I look'd on Caldera, and curs'd my fate.
Yet in these thoughts my circumstance despising,
Haply I thought on Linux -- then my state
(Like to the flight of pump'ed stock price rising
On painted line) sang hymns at heaven's gate;
For surely no such long-haired smelly swarm
To such great heights of enterprise had flown
without the aid of those who wish me harm,
Or stealing all from Unix, which I own.
So I can get six bills from each of them,
And all I need do is: sue IBM.
-Wang-Lo.

Where else do you find people making up haiku because they need something to do
while they are waiting for a judgement.[ Reply to This | # ]

While the traditional English variation of the Haiku is 5-7-5, if one adheres
to the stricter japanese style of haiku, the syllable count is actually 3-5-3.
Like so:
Bleeding Cash
Ill-gotten money
Come, Judgement[ Reply to This | # ]

Hockey is over / Still no news from Utah court / but I wait, smiling.
Summer is here and / SCO can't last, so get / that red dress ready.
Thousands wait. Utah / slumbers under June weather. / The announcement's soon.

More Haiku
To spend your free time
Enjoy the fun
The Judge sits in state
Everyone waits for judgment
Penguin eats a fish
SCO is bankrupt now
The evil is in sunlight
Novell wins the day
He is Darl McBride
Destroy the corporations
He can do that

There once was a company called SCO,
through suing became everyone's foe.
They were extremely corrupt,
but they soon went bankrupt,
and so their business they did not grow.

I don't think Judge Kimball's ruling will matter. In the short term SCO is just
about out of money and they will appeal the final finding. I predict that within
60 days SCO will be insolvent.
Cheers!

McBride press release
"SCO will rise from dead!"
The world is laughing.
Novell sells their soul
Open source just an excuse
To sleep with Bill Gates
SCO, buy now!
The stock will go to the moon!
"Moon" must mean zero?
Groklaw is awesome
PJ exposes the lies
Darl crying now
Vista runs like snail
Treats me like me are stupid
Linux respects me
What can I do now?
My windows won't launch notepad
Due to DRM
Trial goes too slow
How can justice not see that
SCO is wrong?
Patents are bad news
Expressions aren't inventions
World grinds to a halt
I must have no life
Writing haiku this much here
I need more coffee
Linux ain't UNIX
Darl should take thumb out of butt
Stop trying to steal

Stopping by Woods On A Snowy Evening To File Suit
(With apologies to Robert Frost)
Who’s code is this? I think I know
Their office is in Utah though
They will not fight me do not fear
They’ll pay me off to make me go
The Linux folk must think it’s queer
To sue without a case that’s clear
When GPL says source code’s free
A base construct that they hold dear
I call me lawyers “Come to me”
Like a groom with his Mcbride to be
And with absurdist logic leap
I file suit and pay their fee
The code is clean, it makes me weep
And my lawyer’s bills are steep
With cash to spend but in debt deep
With cash to spend but in debt deep

at some point they had nowhere to go
so they tried to sue off linux
their business is finished
and nobody wants to be CEO.[ Reply to This | # ]

With SCO's legal bills coming due,
His Honor the judge said, "You're through!
Your ill-founded tort
Has reminded the Court
Of the adage, 'You reap what you sue!'"[ Reply to This | # ]

Perhaps we'd be more comfortable expressing ourselves in limerick form?
There was a young man named McBride,
Who couldn't run a firm if he tried,
His efforts at blackmail,
Could soon land him in jail,
There's more than just Intel Inside...[ Reply to This | # ]

When in disgrace with Wall Street and men's eyes,
I all alone bewept my outcast state;
While deaf investors spurn'd my bootless cries,
I look'd on Caldera, and curs'd my fate.
Yet in these thoughts my circumstance despising,
Haply I thought on Linux -- then my state
(Like to the flight of pump'ed stock price rising
On painted line) sang hymns at heaven's gate;
For surely no such long-haired smelly swarm
To such great heights of enterprise had flown
without the aid of those who wish me harm,
Or stealing all from Unix, which I own.
So I can get six bills from each of them,
And all I need do is: sue IBM.
-Wang-Lo.
