SCO is “this close” to dead. The bankruptcy judge in charge of the SCO bankruptcy refused SCO’s request to sell its “claim” to Unix assets, the source of a prolonged and unsuccessful campaign to undermine Linux. The judge believes any … Continue reading →

Dr Laura moving to TRN….. *gasp* http://www.radioink.com/Article.asp?id=1445560&spid=24698 I guess she sees the handwriting on the wall for Clear Channel. Dr Laura is already on Sirius/XM.
