Chapter 11 Trustee Appointed For SCO

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "The judge overseeing the SCO Chapter 11 bankruptcy case has issued an order appointing a chapter 11 trustee to oversee SCO's operations. However, the judge's reasoning is far from clear. While the judge believes that SCO has 'abandoned rehabilitation' to bet its future on litigation, he doesn't think it appropriate to convert their case to Chapter 7 liquidation. So SCO's management hasn't been fired yet, but they're no longer fully in charge either. It's not clear why the bankruptcy judge opted for this solution, when even the US Trustee was pushing to fire SCO's management and convert the case to Chapter 7. In short, SCO is still only mostly dead, rather than all dead, and in desperate search of a miracle worker."

To the mod who called this "flamebait":

Have you ever watched a group of children, who are working hard to learn communication skills? For want of a real word, they will make up a word, spur of the moment, and agree to it's meaning amongst themselves.

Incentivized is just such a word. A group of people were having a discussion, and none of them had sufficient knowledge of the English language to express themselves. One of the ignorant and juvenile individuals tried incentivized, and the rest of those ignorant individuals thought it sounded cool. Instant acceptance.

Groups of people all over the English speaking world do this, and those pretend words manage to get adopted into this niche or that. They look at technology fields, where jargon is essential, then claim to be following the example of scientists, engineers, and technicians. That is pure bullshit. The tech people make up words for concepts that don't EXIST, until they discover the concept. Incentivized is the mark of an ignorant, uneducated poser who is trying to pass himself off as a manager, or as an executive.

Stop sounding retarded, people. It's far more respectable to admit that you don't know the proper term, pull out a thesaurus, and FIND a term, than it is to make up idiot baby talk.

I have actually walked away from discussions in which one clown or another starts with the baby talk. If they don't have the decency to learn to speak their native language properly, they don't deserve the respect implied by listening to them.

Oh, well, have you looked for the word? Why is it that you get to use your dislike for the world to mod two people off topic? Are you a "player hater"? Or, are you a pro-sco person hiding behind the lazy slashdot code that allows hit-and-run modding?

Looking at sco's conduct, and splaying their ass up in the air for microsoft to do ms' bidding, sco is (after ms) the LAST company topic for which boo-hoo off-topic-modding should be tolerated. Downward-trending scoring, maybe, but a slam-dunk off-topic? HELL NO.
