] U.S. lawyers know that what judges do is to pick winners
] and losers, then help the winners win and help the losers
] lose. The goal is finality in a dispute. That means
] helping the winner create a record that has the best
] chance of being sustained on appeal. Even more
] importantly, however, Judge Kimball has decided that this
] case is going to get what judges call "active case
] management." That means that the judge is dropping the
] default mode of just letting the lawyers develop the
] record while the judge plays referee. The judge is going
] to actively manage development of the record.

Remember SCO? It sounds like the judge is finally pissed off
now...
