You don't need his permission, but based on the tenure of your employees, it can cost you as much as 18 months salary per person in severance to simply cut your losses and leave without negotiating.

The last project named Galaxy (at least the last one I remember), was when Sun decided to support multiprocessing in the early 90's. Asymetrical multiprocessing that it. There was a joke runniing around at the time thet went comething like:

Everybody has their own horro story and their own brand of drives that they postively hate. I know people that will nver buy a Seagate drive and swear buy IBM, and son, and so on and so on for every single drive mfg out there. Every mfg has had a large bad run of drives in their history. What do you propose people do, use plastic? NVRAM? floppies?

Do they have a strategy behind this?

Going back to my military days in the late 70's, it was BumFvck, Egypt. I never heard anybody say Beyond Egypt.
