Really? Are you suggesting NO ONE in the company might want to play it at home and either
A) Want to let some friends check it out
B) Get his/her computer "hacked"
Most of network problems come from the inside, not the outside. (not saying that you shouldn't protect yourself from the internet, but...)
One final note: I whined in my first review about the G5's weak Airport wireless signal. Several readers promptly (and pointedly) wrote to ask if I'd installed the Apple-supplied external Airport antenna. I had not. I did. And it took care of the problem. Even when setting up the easy-to-use-Mac, it always pays to read the manual.
OK so this guy couldn't RTFM and then bitched about a "crappy product" (obviously not the case) and we're supposed to think his very vague (counting fingers style) timings are some kind of "benchmark"?
This was one of my thoughts as well. We still have no real idea what the hell anybody is talking about.
OK, OK, SGI said:
found brief fragments of code matching System V code in three generic
routines (ate_utils.c, the atoi function and systeminfo.h header file),
all within the I/O infrastructure support for SGI's platform.
OK so they point out a few places to look, but they also go on to say:
a result of that exhaustive investigation, SGI has
discovered a few additional code segments (similar in nature to the
segments referred to above and trivial in amount) that may arguably be
related to UNIX code.
OK, so they found "a few" other things. What are those "other things"? OK, it's cool they are doing a bit of busting their asses to make sure that they are clean and that SCO is wrong, but it would be nice to see a bit more than that.
To any SGI person that may be reading:
I'm not downing the efforts, I'm just questioning the accuracy of what the hell is going on because none of us out here really know the TRUE facts.
I guess I could check with your diff's though...:-)
You mean that McBride's rants may actually have a bit of substance behind them? OK, most of the code is gone now, and what code was there was Public Domin anyway, but McBride whining about the simple fact that the code was there now has some merit to it?
OK, this is getting a bit obvious (to me, anyway).
There's an article refering to SGI's stuff (The Linux in Hollywood one) this morning and now McBride starts pointing a finger at them too. I wonder how many SCO FUD Spinners read/. waiting to see who to go after next.

I just have to wonder if a serious delay was in the works anyway
Doom3 is due out about the same time, right? Hmmm...
No internet, and none of this stuff is a problem.

I just tell anyone who needs any work done from me to file it in our intranet bugzilla site. Tracks status, assignment, etc.

Send me an email.
How do you manage IT requests in your organization?
:-(
Post-It notes left on my monitor...
Great. There's even more "open statements" about the security being bunk. This will only make them work harder at it.
Geeze, as if my tin-foil hat wasn't think enough as it is.

Oh, God, here we go. Another "all your base", or "In Soviet Russia", etc., tag line for slashdot...

emerge mplayer?
Well... I meant the shiny installer part...
/me rolls his eyes.
That has a session ID in the URL. It will time out. You could've just done it the right way if you really wanted us to see that page...
That's the trouble with protocols... once they're set good luck ever getting rid of them.
Tell that to Microsoft.
or, err, wait...
How can the first post be redundant?
It WASN'T the First Post.
I thought that was supposed to bring up "Milton".

" WERE linked above" that should read...
Its not the devs' job to make shiny installation druids that you can click through. That's what distros are for.
Is there an ebuild for that?
I don't see anything new here.

oh, man.
I was trying to think of a counter joke, when I found this on Google...
There always is a couple links to the original links I was looking for when I ended up finding that...
heh...
Block the Caldera topic.
I don't think they should be refered to like that after the shit they've been pulling...

So you're suggesting that a few lines of coke will put me to sleep? Yea... uh...
