Well, if your read Dennis Ritchies Anti-Forward in the book, it seems a few people of note didn't like it. My impression of the book was that a lot of the annoying parts of Unix were actually BSD-specific. Hmm
Unfortunately, most ISPs, in particular, are a rather spineless lot. There was an attempt to have a "National offline Day" to demonstrate the impact of this stupid legislation.

I wonder how much it costs to put a satellite in the sky? Trick is, the Govt controls the Radio Spectrum as well. I can't believe I voted for these dickheads. Labor want to run people's lives too. ARRGGH I'm not coherant but I am really annoyed.
Stop This! I am reading this at work and am drawing undue attention to myself by bursting out in fits of laughter.

You don't normally have battery-backed NVRAM in your main memory only ns away. DG produced a NVRAM VME card, but it never really took off. I've got 2 A1000 RAID arrays here and the RAID 5 write performance often outperforms the read performance. Once the blocks are written to the NVRAM, the write is done as far as the host is concerned. CPU with "software RAID" really takes a hammering when you lose a drive and have to recreate each block on the RAID 5 set. You then take a larger system hit rebuilding your RAID set after replacing the failed drive. With hardware RAID that processing is offloaded to the RAID controller.
IIRC, the first book I read by Brian Kernighan contained a lot of programming examples written in RATFOR (Rational FORTRAN). A lot of those concepts later appeared in C.
Microsoft are the ones that need to be arrested. They put out packages that people find useful (Microsoft Word and Excel) then they deliberately engineer them so that anyone with half a brain can write a virus to disrupt processing. They then integrate this product with others so "You won't know where the desktop ends and the Internet begins". If GM desinged cars like that, they would put the fuel fuiller pipe on the dashboard (next to the cigarette lighter) because it made everything easily accessible to the driver.
Congratulations on having a High School teacher that understands programming. I must take you to task however for thinking that being taught to program in C and Pascal is somewhat inferior to C++ There is no perfect Language and, in particular, no perfect teaching language. When you go to University, make sure you learn a wider range of languages than just C++. If they only teach you one language, you are missing out. As pointed out in previous posts, the particular language skill is secondary to the process of transforming ideas and requirements into machine instructions.
There is nothing new in people wasting the gift of literacy on the shallow and tittilating. Rupert Murdoch and Bill Gates understand that. Cervantes also understood this problem when he wrote "Don Quixote", a story of a man deluded by reading too many trashy Romance Novels. Perhaps we now have entire nations acting out the lives of those they see on TV and read in trashy novels.
Solaris is also SunOS Its a Marketing thing to distinguish SunOS (BSD) From SunOS (SVR4) $ uname -sr SunOS 5.5.1 (Solaris 2.5.1) Even when the Marketeers catapaulted to Solaris 7 it is still SunOS 5.7
It means that Tom causes friction and conflict wherever he goes. A lot of meaningful contributions to Perl have been aborted/stalled due to Tom's capricious nature. Tom often hides behind logic that is totally based on his perception of reality. Those who question that reality are often subject to insults and ridicule.

Not surprised with the similarity at all. They were both made with the Mission Statement generator
(we could argue about Mission vs Vision but that would be petty)
Don't forget the abominable
is another one, but that filled a void at the time.
taurocoproloquy - what a quaint word for such a distasteful outpouring.
