A quick note to those w/ the horizontal scrolling problem: Sorry ’bout that. Safari was handling the adjust template just fine but… Well, let’s just say that this layout lends itself to all sorts of weird isms. Anyway, in trying to keep the images from polluting across posts, I tried to wrap up posts within tables. But apparently, Internet Explorer wants to interpret a 100% width table as exactly the same in all circumstances and (again) (well) grrr….

Hopefully we can return you to not having to scroll. Or not scroll as the case may be.

Here’s one you may have missed… This SCO vs. Linux thing keeps getting deeper. Maybe not as thick, but puts an interesting texture in this pudding: The MontaVista-Lineo case has some similarities to the much higher-profile legal battle between IBM and SCO Group, such as the GPL involvement. But one major difference is that both companies involved in the MontaVista-Lineo case support the GPL.

In 1999, Caldera sold its own shares to MTI, then bought those shares back last year, according to SEC filings.
