Just goes to show how many ideas mentioned in StarTrek actually come about. I guess we still have to work on that warp drive, dilithium crystal regeneration and photon torpedoes...and replicators. "Earl Gray. Hot."
SCO may not get it, and that's fine. Heaven only knows their keynote speaker missed the boat. But it's satisfying to know that Linus understands exactly what we are trying to do here.
It seems like one (S/2004 S1) of the little worldlets may have been re-discovered since it may have been spotted when one of the Voyager probes passed Jupiter by in 1981, then christened S/1981 S14.
I was going to ask the same question really, just worded differently - is this an attempt to snuggle up with the OS community and hopefully widen the customer base, just in case past customers remain somewhat distanced and alienated?
How much of that is due to Firefox actually rendering wrong, versus how the HTML that Slashcode generates TELLS it to render? I.e, is it Firefox or the HTML on this site that's to blame?
SI rules. Of course it makes sense to have water freeze at 32 degrees instead of 0, and boil at 212 instead of 100... And why the hell would you want to mess with turning 1 kilometer into 1,000 meters, when you can turn 1 mile into 5,280 feet! And to realize that 1 liter is 1,000 milliliters is stupid, since we can instead make 1 gallon (US, liquid - or 0.86 gallon US dry - or 0.83 gallon UK) into 128 fl.oz. I rest my case.
Possibly, yes, but very very unlikely. I see nothing wrong with considering a very well formulated theory as the truth. If you can't poke a hole in a theory, there's no reason to NOT think it describes reality.
While Nova is a very very good show, I have found several on the Science channel (fmr. Discovery Science) that are very good as well. Also - I need to start listening to Science Friday on NPR.
My current employer had a VAX that had some monstrous uptime as well. But in the end the bootdisk failed, and the system couldn't be brought up at all. It proved an easy way to migrate users off of the system - a migration that had been in the works for the past 5 years. Now I hear the same thing is planned for our Alpha GS/140. I mean, to migrate off of it, not to have the bootdisk fail...

0wned? Oh! You mean pwned!
My phone rang AS I CLICKED IT, but fortunately it was just my wife asking me to run by the store on the way home. Got my heart going though...
Arthur? Are we talking about DentArthurDent (like Slartibartfast calls him)?

That is, in 2104 we will have gone 3 years without support for the Alpha platform, hence year 3 After Alpha.

You don't mean the Keebler ELF's?
...or you can just use "Chewie" to make it even easier :D
Bah, "dupe" WAS a bad choice of word - my apologies. Should have been "Also mentioned here..." *inserts foot in mouth*

This was posted back in March.
I remember the first Pentium I ever saw...was actually not a P60, but the 486 Overdrive chip. Turned it into...what, a P83 or something like that.

...actually, you're half right. It's UNIX they want to move to.
I would say less incompetent and more sly in their ways to 'push' a migration while saying "See? We told you this was going to happen!"
Most of the stuff ended up on Alpha or NT4 boxen.

Geez, I can remember back in the old days when I tried to convert a DEC TU81 into a 9-track tape player...
...speaking of - short joke: A baby seal walks into a club.
