What kind of product do you envision that would be named after, or whose marketing material would even mention by name, a process scheduler?

- ars 17y agoBusiness Purchase Order for RedHat licenses with BFS scheduler for the developers. Just don't say what BFS stands for. OK, it's a bit of a stretch that they'll say what the scheduler is on the PO, but it could happen. It needs a backronym. Bloody Fine Scheduler? Bazinga Fast Scheduler? BigBang Feory Scheduler? :)
- trafficlight 17y agoTraditionally, BFx stands for "Big Fucking x". For example the BFG 9000 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BFG_9000 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BFG_9000
- Scott_MacGregor 17y agoNot necessarily marketing material, but a lot of big companies like to issue press releases when they add something or buy something. Plus, if it is picked up and used by any big name in the industry some of the blogs will probably pick it up and make a mockery out the name using their so-called clever writing skills, lol. From a business standpoint, this might be a concern for some companies. I can’t see any "positive business reason" to have a name like that, it only seems like a negative to me.
