I betcha it was specifically created to AVOID the creator's systems. It would be trivial to engineer the target generator to skip any IP that gets too close to your home system. Make it overly-paranoid, and you end up with 10%.
Umm.. didn't Bell Labs get sold/spun off to Lucent years ago?
My uncle used to work for Bell Labs. He was one of the people who developed the gallium arsenide chip. I got to tour the place once - way back in, say, '78 - and saw all sorts of nifty stuff. The one thing I remember was the Videophone they had. They thought it would be ubiquitous within 10 years time.
There's a Heinlein quote that I'm trying to think of, that goes something along these lines:
There are three stages to the development of any technical project. In stage one, the device is simple, does only what it needs to, and works most of the time. In stage two, the device is vastly overcomplicated, overpowered, does far more than it needs, and works occasionally. In stage three, the "improvements" are thrown out, the device is again simple, does only what it needs to, and works all the time.
I've been waiting for Stage Three for a long time now. My money is on Burt Rutan.
I'm stunned none of you have figured this one out yet. The real motivators behind SCO's lawsuits has to be the BSD enthusiasts. They're doing to Linux what AT&T did to BSD way back when, hoping to bring BSD back to life.

Could it be that now, we have more professors taking credit for innovation produced by the students under them?
Could it be that the Nobel committee is favouring older, more worldly innovators over younger, brash pups?

can I use to it compile my HL2 maps? Please?
Why would you need a car computer with dual processors?
Why would anyone need more that 640K Ram?

Sigh. The future ain't what it used to be.
So you can't install software - but you get virus protection? From what?
