Tanner has filed yet another bill, its 9th, asking this time for $53,612.50 for June. And $439.68 in expenses. We haven't seen a bill as large as that from Tanner since February. You'd think for all that money, they'd be able to teach SCO how to file MORs that are comprehensible. The three categories of services this time were for "Audit", "Tax", and "401(k)Audit". It's an interim bill, meaning it is asking for 80% of most of the bill to be paid now, or around $40,000, and the rest later. Tanner was approved to expand its role in February to include doing SCO's state and federal taxes, and in June its role expanded to include doing the audit of the 401(k), so that explains the large bill. It was approved to bill for the audit $17,000, and that means it gets 100% of that bill now, not just 80% it gets for hourly work. But it is also asking for $17,515.50 for 124 hours of work on the taxes, and yet the bill states that they have only begun to perform the tax procedures, as it calls them. So what was the time spent on? |

Filed under: Cellphones Well, it looks like Group Sense's once mighty line-up of Palm OS-based handsets has finally been shown the door with the whole lot now replaced by a single, Linux-based device. From the looks of it though, it doesn't seem like the new handset is about to work any wonders for the company, with the "real smart" Xplore WF100 boasting only a 1.5-inch 128 x 128 ... |

"Linux creator Linus Torvalds said the authors of a new software license expected to be used by thousands of open source programmers are a bunch of hypocrites and likened them to religious fanatics - the latest sign of a growing schism in the open source community between business-minded developers like Torvalds and free software purists." |

Before Bill Gates became a household name, he went to Harvard. His sophomore year, he was assigned a complicated mathematics problem caputred his interest, which ? no surprise ? he solved. His paper on the solution was published, and until recently it remained the best solution to that problem: stacking pancakes. |

Friends, I don't know what it means but look at this docket entry in the SCO v. Autozone case: 69 -
Filed & Entered: 07/03/2008
Minute Order
Docket Text: MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Robert C. Jones, on 7/3/2008. IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the parties shall submit a status report to the Court no later than Monday, July 14, 2008. (no image attached) (Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - TKH)
Here's what it could mean: the judge has been reading the funny papers; or SCO or Autozone raised an issue it wants addressed. If I had to bet money, I'd say the first, that the judge was going through his case log and wants to know what's going on. It's been almost a year since SCO filed for bankruptcy, after all. It filed a Notice of Bankruptcy, but there was no order, that I see, shutting down the case. And SCO has announced that SCOForum is being postponed until October 1. According to Heise, the reason is that there is a "new investor" offering to help it out of Chapter 11. I have no idea whether this means the Stephen Norris deal is dead or what it means. I can guess it means SCO is telling us a lot of stories, one after another, and so far none of them pan out. |

I have never written a review of a Linux distribution, but I've read more than I can count, and many of them have been maddeningly incomplete and not worth the time it took to read them.
