    Others:

    -Recently vacated positions are not advertised nor refilled.
    -More talk behind closed doors by management than usual.

  19. Re:Shame on SGI Faces Bankruptcy · · Score: 1

    Yes, a real friggin shame. 10 years ago, they had some of the fastest servers around, and they were incredibly useful for doing lots of IO. Suns of the day were pretty slow, and they beat everyone to the punch in terms of large file systems (XFS).

    My organization purchased 4 Challenge XLs and 10 Challenge L servers. Suns just weren't cutting it. I left that group in 1998, but I'm back working for them today. Here it is, 2005, and we still have some of the Ls in service.

    Since then, they purchased two Origin 2000s and an Origin 3000. Unfortunately, we've found that a $20k 4-cpu athlon 64 system will now run rings around the 16 CPU O2000.

    The real problem with SGI is that they NEVER overcame the stigma of being a "graphics computer" maker. We couldn't convince our company to use SGIs because of that. "Sure they have great graphics, but what else can they do?" was the typical response I got when I told people we used SGIs (mind you, we only did number crunching, no graphics there). SGI had some great stuff, but they failed to market their hardware the way they should. They needed to overcome the perceptions the computer-using community had of them They seemed, to this outsider, to use the Field of Dreams philosophy - if you build it, they will come. Of course, you know the outcome of that.

    When Oracle stopped making product for SGIs some years ago, I knew it was over. What a pity.

  20. I'm confused on VeriSign Can Raise .net Prices in 2007 · · Score: 1

    I read the stuff on the links, and it's not clear.

    Is this only for new or all domain names under their care? In other words, are they grandfathering in all the people who've renewed their domains past this date, or will they be charged more?
