Compaq Tru64 UNIX was once called Digital UNIX which was once called DEC OSF/1. The Open Software Foundation (OSF) was created, in some significant part, to counter AT&T's control of the UNIX market: the OSF wanted to prevent an AT&T/Sun hegemony. The OSF code base is very much rooted in BSD (and also includes Mach microkernel code [also used in Apple's Mac OS X]).
So, Compaq Tru64 UNIX is a very good SMP BSD implementation.
Tru64 does a good pretty good job of being bilingual with basic apps like/bin/ps understanding both BSD and Sys V options.
Since noone else has mentioned it: BTW, Bill Joy, a founder of Sun Microsystems, is also the founder of BSD. He packaged the first Berkeley Software Distribution.
Actually, it's more the other way 'round. People like to blame things on Sendmail. Usually people who haven't looked at it years, if it all. Would you blame the 2.[45] Linux kernels for 1.0's lack of support for fireware or USB.
Neither Sendmail.org nor Sendmail, Inc has a long history of being vulnerable. Commercial OSes have a history of running old Sendmail5.65 distros. Sendmail.org, on the other hand, has a history of being blamed for vulnerabilities it neither caused nor can be responsible for fixing.
It has a history of Slashdolts making ignorant critiques like yours: Sendmail doesn't complain problem about group-readable/usr; it complains about group-WRITABLE/usr. It does complain about group-readable authentication databases.
Show us an option that Sendmail should code around. One that actually exists, I mean!
You'll find that (a) satisfying Sendmail without DontBlameSendmail will be more secure and (b) the circumstances are the choice of the OS distro or the installation's Sys Admin (and likely an oversight).
... most people outside of the Open Source community don't seem to associate the same meaning...
But most people in the inside the legal communitty do...
"open source" is trademarked, with the intent of protecting the term against the sort of misuse exemplified in Bungie's announcement.
I think you've misread the article. Ken created B. Dennis created C, though B was the root. As Dennis writes in The Development of the C Language:
In 1971 I began to extend the B language by adding a character type and also rewrote its compiler to generate PDP-11 machine instructions instead of threaded code. Thus the transition from B to C was contemporaneous with the creation of a compiler capable of producing programs fast and small enough to compete with assembly language. I called the slightly-extended language NB, for `new B.'
But B had no types beyond the architecture's word let alone abstract data types. Initially, C didn't have structures and this delayed Ken's rewrite of the UNIX kernel in C until Dennis updated the language and compiler. [Salus 1994: `A Quarter Century of UNIX'].
"C is here to stay" aticle must be the most content-free piece...
What do mean content-free? "C was created in the 1960's by Ken Thompson." That's news to me. I thought the C was created in the 1970s by Dennis Ritchie.
Of course all you "Linux is not GNU" people probably didn't notice or care.:-)

C: 3502 / 30 = 116.7
Java: 1161 / 6.75 = 172
Java is obviously better.
Let's not go there. Similar arguments would establish that Windows95 is obviously better that *nix.
