... after installing it and I had the first crash.
They really took the consistency in the user interface a bit too far. And while I'm at it, can I have a 64-bit rpm, pretty please? With a Fedora on top? Really folks, forget about 32-bit. It's wasted time. Nobody sane is still running 32-bit software on an x86 Linux system. Oh and there are new artifacts in the video. I guess that's what's called inovation.
This is business as normal. The magnetic pole has always wandered around. Most major airports managed to renumber runways in a single night. The renumbering will be announced in NOTAMs then in “night 0” numbers will be repainted, signs changed and AIP updated. A few hours later it is as if old numbers never existed. London Stansted has done this on 2010-07-02 while nearby Cambridge airport at current rates of change will have about 40 years until having to renumber.
So runways get renumbered but it's still a rare event, even looking at the scope of an entire country.
The whole problem could be killed at a pen stroke by switching by basing runway designators on geographic north but for a bunch of reasons including tradition runway designators are based on magnetic runway heading.
Legal reasons, apparently SGI's corporate lawyers are worried about possible legal consequences for the company that might arise from content on reality. Neither being American nor lawyer I fortunately did not have to care about details:-) Luckily these days a home page for everybody's toy project is easy to host anywhere so I'm not too concerned.
97% uptime is equivalent to a downtime of 11.2 days per year, not what I'd call highly available. Oh well, you cannot require true HA from a system based on PS/2 memory, as per spec you have to expect a non-correctable memory error around once every two month on a Indy in maximum memory configuration.
MIPS, Inc. does not design the processors used by SGI in their systems. Some lowend processors such as the R5000 were designed by the MIPS licensee IDT but SGI's highend processors R10000, R12000 and the upcomming R14000 were designed inhouse at SGI and fabbed at NEC. No longer shipping processors such as the R4000 / R4400 was indeed designed by MIPS.
