Free-Floating UNIX

Posted by timothy on from the coattails dept.

E1ven writes "First Microsoft detergent, now, UNIX Diapers, among other niceties. The author of this page has apparently worked to photograph and categorize the use of the term UNIX in other, non software products." (And don't forget Linux detergent.)

      I know... /. is like the death star... we focus this intense beam on of traffic on a single web host and BLAM!

      BEN: I felt a great disturbance in the Web...as if millions of httpd daemons suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened.

    Google cache is nice for news links, but for sites where the primary purpose is pics, it's a bit of a letdown since Google doesn't archive those.

    Try Waybackmachine instead; it's a little older but at least they archive the pics too.

    "The author of this page" is none other than Dennis Ritchie, who knows a thing or two about Unix. He's had that page quietly sitting there for a year or two. I don't think he deserved this...

    "the author of this page"

    The author of Unix...

    I just hope Caldera-sco goes after him for misuse of their trademark.

    I'll bet if they search his computer they find that he's stolen (STOLEN! I say) unix source code from them. C'mon darryl, take him on...
