I like PC games because they are so amazing, but I like the consoles because my whole family can gather around and play (and their graphics are very decent too albeit not as amazing as the PC).
My home machine in 1999 was a 400MHz Celeron, which was far faster than the 266MHz P2 I was using at work (that machine which ran the code analysis in 10 hours).
All he had to compare against is the code base SCO owned that they claimed was infringed upon, not the entire universe of Unix flavors.... and even then just kernels no need for X11 and drivers. But even if he did, there is no way it should have taken days to run.
The 10 hour mark I mentioned was on a Pentium 2 266 Mhz machine (I remember because I was put off by being given what was a slow machine even then). However we had the tools running on much more powerful Sun and Alpha workstations which took far less time. This was for an entire kernel source distro, drivers and all.
There is no way this analysis should have taken days.
Also If I have to do multiple OS's, I would use multiple machines. I am sure SCO would free up a workstation or 2 for this endeavor.
I worked for a company that wrote basis path testing and coverage tools, and would generate various metrics like cyclomatic complexity, module cohesion metrics, what not.
As a baseline we used Linux kernel sources. Also FreeBSD.
A full report took about 10 hours IIRC, this was in 1999.
I would suggest that Anonymous stay behind the keyboard. In the real world messing with a bunch of Iraq war veterans might not go as well as their online exploits.

Never thought it hard to understand.
Different strokes I guess.
...whatever that means.
For once Europe can do the fighting.
I seriously doubt they have the capability, or the competence, but regardless... this is their show.
NO US AIRPOWER TO PROTECT EUROPES OIL SUPPLY!
...this one is all you. Have at it.
If it is open source, then let them add this functionality themselves.
It sounds like the open source community is very.... ...short sighted.

Its true. People don't seem to mind that grocers realize that they eat. Or even what they eat.
Last I checked you can't use your discount card at the pharmacy, and that pharm purchase is a separate transaction.
Hardly.
"Hey everyone - lets all gather around and stare at this really cool (rehashed) game on my phone!"
Probably not going to light the party on fire with that one.
By the way - my kids like XScorch much better than Angry Birds. Crappy graphics and all.
Plus consider that lots of classics are free on the iPad.
I have bought a few overpriced e-books... no more.
Extrapolation?

Both have strengths.
The moment you reach for the keyboard, the computer cuts off your fingers with some scissors, and hits you on the head with a rock.
Then it prints a pic of you laying there, wasting a sheet of paper.
It occurs to me that if they have a normalized data set to analyze, their job becomes MUCH easier in some ways.
>> sniffing out patterns in their writing style from use of all lowercase letters to common typos
True, but if you reformat moany of the metrics they are looking for you just seriously screwed with their algorithm.
But I agree you may want to run it thru a thesaurus and spell checker as well.
run it thru pretty print or some other formatter before sending it.
Unfortunately after this they will be laying off more dads.

DAYS? Really?

I still maintain that these jackwagons will just sell book and movie rights because of this amd make millions.
So. Hacking and computer security in the end made them rich. Not in the manner they intended... but I am sure they don't care.
1) Don't use Windows
2) Don't use Facebook
Uh huh.

Not really.
