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."
Someone needs to investigate "I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property".

Novells tiny seven page objection
There's more than one Novell? =)
IINM there should be an apostrophe there, shouldn't there? Or are you joining the movement to ban the apostrophe?
Less pedantic and more on topic, who is "York"? I thought that this too was a typo and that it meant the state of New York, so I actually clicked the link and discovered that TFA did, indeed say "York". Is that the air conditioner manufacturer, the city in England, or what?
No, I didn't RTFA (eye muss knot bee knew hear). I just searched for "York". Now to rtfa...
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?
