plover's Journal: New submission prepared for rejection

This one was titled "SCO sales tanking?"

The SCO Group reported their fourth quarter income on Tuesday, and according to The Register, this quarter's earnings are down to $10.08 million, compared to $24 million last year. Their licensing revenue is virtually non-existant, at only $120,000 compared to $10 million to Q4 in 2003. Darl's statement to stockholders began by reporting 'Fourth Quarter achievements demonstrate continued progress at SCO.' I guess progress doesn't imply direction...

beaten to the punch?

Did someone beat you to it, or were you first and rejected? Guess you'll never know. Though at least one time I was marked as "accepted" though someone else's actual name and text showed up with the same pointer. Maybe that means better karma?

Someone beat me to it. I happened to spot it at the top of El Reg, then hit Groklaw for confirmation (and to see that it was already fairly old news,) then spent a few composing it. I suspect the article they published had been in the pipeline for an hour or so before my submisssion.

I don't take it too personally. I think they still have me on some kind of double-secret probation /list because I fell for a /troll once. For that transgression they blacklisted me for a year. It's been at least two year
