SCO's "Least Supported Idea Yet"
I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "Unsurprisingly, all of SCO's creditors have objected to the plan to reimburse York for the failed 'emergency' deal. Novell's tiny seven page objection (PDF) is hilarious and very readable. They don't hold back at all, saying that 'all that happened is that the Debtors spent money needlessly on a proceeding that was, to all intents and purposes, stillborn had it not been for the stubbornness of the Debtors' management and the avarice of York,' and that it was 'another really bad deal they have chased in ceaseless pursuit of their dreams of a litigation bonanza.' They top it off by concluding with the line, 'for the reasons explained above, the Court should deny the Motion as the Debtors' worst and least supported idea yet in these cases.' One can only wonder how SCO will respond to this."
Well, before the firehose broke in IE (I'm at work. I'm on break.) I voted most of his stuff up. Note that most of what I submit gets voted down or is credited to someone else, even though most of my comments get modded up.
I'm modding myself down for this offtopic comment with the "no karma bonus" box.
mcgrew's razor: Never attribute to stupidity that which can be explained by greedy self-interest
I don't know, maybe it's nit-picking, but any kill signal (including -9) will have no effect on a zombie process, pretty much by definition. A "zombie" process is just an entry in the process table that can't be removed for some reason (usually because the parent process hasn't read its exit code). There isn't any actual process associated with it, so no signals have any effect.
Maybe we need to cold boot the legal system?
