SCO's "Least Supported Idea Yet" 134
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, technically, init could do the job just as well, too. After all, it spawned off (eventually) the process that spawned the zombie (and forgot to reap them). Now, we just need to telinit to reap some zombie processes.
Things are easier if one of those processes was a shell spawned by init... kill the shell, and init will respawn it, reaping any zombies that the shell was an eventual parent of.
Surprised there's no silver-bullet gun utility to go alongside with kill. Or that kill doesn't have a --wooden-stake option.

Well actually, since it would be spinning to begin with, I guess we'd have to use two nuke chain reactions, one to stop the spinning and one to start it.
I saw a documentary on it once...awful, I don't recommend it.

Anytime a Judge uses the words "most amateurish pleadings", "bumbling", or "a pig is still a pig" to describe the efforts of the attorneys, it's going to be a bad day for someone. Or in this case, both someones.
"Now, alas, the Court must return to grownup land." - priceless! We need more people as judges with a biting sense of humor (and the nerve to use it liberally!) like this!

I was in court once for a speeding ticket, and there was some guy in there for a noise violation (playing his car stereo too loud). The judge had him walk to the back of the courtroom with a measuring tape, said "can you hear me?". The guy said, "yes" and the judge said, "that's too loud" (based on the law and the distance).
So the guy comes back to the stand, the judge tells him that since it's his first offense that if he pleads guilty he'll most likely just get the charges dropped. So after a few times of the judge leading him along that course he finally said "guilty".
The judge banged his gavel and said, "30 days in jail".
The kid's face dropped, a wave of "holy shit" went across the courtroom and then the judge started laughing and said "just kidding, charges dropped".
