I have worked with it for three years and ran away screaming to more reasonable Unices.
And I work with some of these "more reasonable Unices"
I work with AIX. SMIT is nice, but the OS itself is a kludge at best. The directory trees do not follow posix format (/etc ==/sbin under aix. That leaves a big mess in the os) and you can't remove a hard-drive from the configs after the driver is physically gone (it complains that the drive is not there)
System V on TI 1500's. This one is a serious brat. It freaks at the smallest signs of danger (tape loading problems) and you have to do a hard reboot to get things up and running again. It does a full fsck on every drive on bootup, since it doesn't mark partitions clean on a safe shutdown.
SCO. it's the true mutt of the industry, yet it is compatible with less than linux. and it is less reliable. the only saving grace is that it has virtual terminals. It's bad at figuring out tape drives, and it KP's a lot.
DG-UX on aviion. It has a habit of "falling off" of the network. Otherwise, no problems with it.
Played with BeOS... liked the l+f of it. but the problem i had with it is simple. I couldn't find drivers/ and when i did, it was subject to macos style blackboxing.
Give me a nice accurate, ergonomic Mac mouse anyday:-)
yeah, I like my drawing tablet for this applet. it works great with a real pen... but you have this feeling you should push the pen down like on the PP to make it work. oh well, force of habit, i guess.
Damn straight. Microeconomics teaches that reality is better than theory. Very interesting. For me, not eye-opening -- I already think in pragmatic terms. It does, however, wake people up.
TI SYS V wants a license for the stack too.. bad enough the cards are still 600 dollars for a dinosaur like this machine. It requires a password keyed to your SPA (software protect adapter, an internal slotted card for cpu id.. when you change the mobo, you can just take the spa out and snap it into the new board. nifty) and you would have to pay another 600 dollars for it.
You can mount the linux drive RO, and never need to fsck. Problem solved with bad shutdowns. drop 32 megs of ram in the system. Do everything in memory.
Single use computers could benefit from the flexibility of Linux easily. Just recompile without all of the unecessary services.
This is just one more reason to switch to satellite if you have to watch television.
Welcome to 1984!
uumm.. sattelite is no better. Why do you think it says "retrieving guide from sattelite"? do you really believe it's waiting for that segment of the guide to pop into the data frame? nope. It's all completely bi-directional. Dish recieves one signal, and puts out another simultaneously. clockwise and counterclockwise.

actually, the republicans still hold both sides. Newt left because of a lack of an increase in results.
If it were exactly 4 years, with 45 min of downtime, it would be 0.9999996550087% (including 1 leap day, 4 solid years)
now THAT, my friends, is reliable.
no credit card, and some resteraunts still take cheques.
and besides, ho's don't take american express. I saw it in a commercial once.
Perhaps this PIP is a real phenomenon. I can barely print without transposition of letters. i also write entire functions backwards instead of :
arcsin(pi/2) i'll write (pi/2)arcsin.. But i know what i'm writing, so it doesn't much matter.
and i'll go between cursiveish and printingish, and get really mangled "the"s. like an h with a line through it c.
Well, if you were using aix, and typed "no" at the prompt, you'd be confused too. This is the AIX command for "network options"

any patch that came out after April 20th...
Yeah, and they'll probably install the new SP5 on the NT system too.

so much for more reasonable.
ick. Micros~1 is monopolistic not a monopoly
sigh

IBM built a Beowulf cluster themselves. They sell hardware mainly. If people are using their "NT" servers running linux in parallel, it's all good.
"Natalie Portman as HAL 9000"
I'd take the bet, but what's the spread :)
Good 'ol morpheus... I much prefer death myself :)
'ol morph looks too much like the un-named one when he wears his helmet.
We need to make an organic weapon like the talon symbiant weapon Sandoval wears in E:FC..
That would be quite interesting.
tech: nothing. nothing. squid looking thing on arm. nothing.

AFAIK, the Inet2 consortium IS open-based.
Hopefully, that means that microsoft will propose things and they get fixed before release (no, not a troll, it's how i feel)
Yeah, that would work too...
:)
but i need the tcp/ip fix from 2.2.4.
How come NT has had 4 patches in 3 years and we're on 2.2.7 already?
:)
Because we are better than that. We release security and bug fixes.
I'm on 2.2.2, guess it's time to move on to 2.2.7. Maybe this weekend.

It's interesting that this was published. :
At the doctorate
level where 45 percent of high-tech degrees were granted to non-U.S.
citizens.
That is not a complete sentence; it is a fragment.
This is in an article about education, yet. It makes me glad I'm getting educated. My degree I mathematics, which is a subject that fascinates me.
