I am a mech engineer, and the majority of my day is spent driving this software (I also the resident consultant).
Pro/E has been trying to get their app to use several computers for a couple of years. They currently have a menu pick for "distrubited computing". It doesn't do any thing, but its there.
At the pro/user conf. in Orlando (1998?)they had a cluster of Sun's machines running an analysis.
Mechanica (the FEA package)is supposed to support multi-processors, but I don't have a mp box to test it on.
Hopefully they get something working soon. We have bunches of boxes doing nothing most of the day, it would be nice to run some large simulatons/animations distributed.
hmm, these two are a driving force in the mechanical cad arena (ptc makes pro/engineer). ptc has a poll on their page about porting pro/e to linux. Sgi is hiring kernel hackers.
This could be the breakthrough on the desktop linux has been looking for. Stability of unix, applications of linux (yes, linux has more office apps than irix, and softwindows is horrid)
I currently use an octane and pro/e daily. If sgi would have went with standard memory instead of some goofball type, it would have looked very good for those visual workstations.
Anyone read the description of that in the documentation? Sounds like they took some "important" packages and cleaned up the code. Sounds good so far, but then they mention compatability. If they broke some common libs to work only with Caldera products it would kill their product, or at least get a very harsh backlash from the community. Hopefully they just added some comments in the code and talked with the authors about any other changes.
I'm currently subscribed to Cincinnati Bells ADSL service. Were having our own troubles with the phone company. Service isn't usually a monopolies strong point.
When I talked to the installers they said the macs were the easiest installs they had. Most of the problems are from CBT having inept technicians, and no regard for customers (ADSL reconfig from 3-7 pm)
Linux is, of course, is unsupported, but the webserver for the internal page is running on Linux. I had linux up and running much easier than windows.
The only reason phone co's are rolling out ADSL is because of the threat from cable modems.
I was reading the Internet Explorer license a while back, and is states the the program may only be used on a Microsoft OS. If the othere MS apps such as Word, Excel, and others are the same way what happens to Wine?
Obviously running Internet explorer under Wine is against the license, but thats not much of a problem, since theres netscape and others. But can the creaters of Wine be sued? This could be interesting.

Strangely this guy may not be a troll.

Linux, Sgi, and Pro/e that would be nice.

bzzz.
they only have to distribute source if they release the binary to the public. This looks internal only.
no source.

looks broken.
It changes me to a different used ID, and dosn't give me any options

You need to read more, then post. ~30$
twice the price of a zip, but well under anything else that size.
I want one.

The speed is addictive though.
