SCOX Jargon File 1.0


SCO v The World

By ColonelZen, Section Logbooks
Posted on Sat Feb 5th, 2005 at 17:45:31 EST

This is the SCOX Jargon file. Please feel free to suggest new entries in comments.

Similarly after a while anyone so inclined is free to rewrite this with suggested new entries and an incremented version number as appropriate.

-- TWZ

biff Yahoo poster backinfullforce. The acronym also reference a historical usenet poster noted for juvenilia. Biff spends his internet life in defense of SCOX's position through a variety of context switching and misrepresentation of legal documents and statements. This infamy has been so prolonged, tenacious and profound that many actually admire him.

llort Troll backwards. A person or post of no real substance but likely to get recs for saying something many agree with.

Nazgul A sobriquet for IBM's lawyers. They strike terror into their prey, and only a fool would seek a confrontation.

recs The currency of exchange on the Yahoo message boards. Really meaningless except for really large numbers or a long history for a poster of getting moderate numbers.

rec ho, rec whore Someone whose life is so meaningless that they desparately try to find affection and meaning through acquiring recs for their posts.

SCOXThe stock symbol for The SCO Group, and the name of the Yahoo message board.

TFAD Troll for a day. Someone who is bored pretends to be a troll.

Terekhov

Alex Terekhov, poster on SCOX who frequently sees a good debating tactic in calling others either Stupid or a Vegetable. Often "proves" his point by listing a large number or URLs often just back references to earlier posts of his own (thus proving little or nothing).  (And if you need a lawyer forgot all those who have given in and adhered to the terms of the the GPL, Alex will solve it all through the principle of first sale)
