I would rather have a rack system anyday. Why would you want to cram all that crap into a tiny box? Electrical interference, cabling, cooling, expandability and cost all seem prohibitive. At least with a rack or standalone units, if one blows up you don't have to take out the whole setup.
What's up with the renderings anyway? I'll believe it when I see sheetmetal.
Absolutely. Using generic terms like "linux" and such will always bring up zillions of pages, most being completely the opposite of what you want. Learn to use a search engine and you'll be grateful for it.
They've been selling keywords on some search engines for a while. My current company has done so, as a matter of fact. Put in a certain word, and the results and even the banner ads reflect same.
Agreed - my buds and I always did the same too. We never called it "Silicon Graphics, Incorporated" or even "Silicon Graphics." It was always SGI. We knew what the logo meant, what the company stood for, and the ass-kicking boxes they made.
Send them feedback and let them know that you think this stinks. Don't be a dick about it. Just say what you feel. That this doesn't appeal to you, that it doesn't represent the SGI you know and love. If you're a customer, TELL them that. But again, don't be a dick about it - that won't accomplish ANYTHING.
I sent mine in as a customer and SGI-head. It's the least I could do.
That's the butt-ugliest logo I've ever seen. They were fine with the ol' cube - it was their identity. As for what it stands for, LOL... "Silicon Graphics Incorporated" was just fine.
Still make damned good machines though, even with the silly logo.

Holy sheepshit, Batman!
Lighten up folks, it's not the end of the world!
Man, I can't wait until Y2K. I'm sitting on a tall mountain with a shotgun and a case of baked beans to watch the ensuing fun...;>

That quote will go down in history right next to "...640KB is more than enough." :)
Now how about uptime? ;>
Just kidding - S/W isn't that bad.

If you want to do us a favor, eliminate all trailers and advertising. Have free popcorn. Or maybe little Jedi pencil sharpeners.
Take a leap, dude.
Ever think of experimenting on a NON-production box? ;>

As for this new thing, well, just click on entry number two on down as a matter of course. That'll fix their sellin-out, advertising asses.
I wouldn't mind taking a spin on OS X/Rhapsody myself. Linux should be a Ferrari on these puppies. Time for a Mac... :)
Anti-social my ass! You typically ignorant, lame-assed social disease blah blah blah... Oh wait, that's anti-social, isn't it? :)
They've always been there...
The "Q," I mean "G," looks horrible, period.

Hey, um, like - you know, you posted this before, man. This is so old, dude. ;>
Okay, now it's getting a little silly...
Hehehe.
Doh! Thanks! ;>
With new-and-improved head cheese product.
Check the date again, friend. ;>
Um, yeah, I'll buy this. When I save up enough from my part time job as head burger griller. ;>
You people are too funny. Lots of gullable ones out there, I might say... :)
