The 'UNIX' system in Jurassic Park was, in fact, UNIX
- nzmsv 16y agoThere's a version for modern Unices: http://fsv.sourceforge.net/ http://fsv.sourceforge.net/ Also, this gets posted on HN quite regularly :)
- wickedchicken 16y agoI always worry about posting 'repeated' links (as you can tell I'm a bit new to HN). Is there an accepted way to lessen this?
- sixtofour 16y agoDon't worry, someone will tell you.
- wickedchicken 16y agoAnd then what? Does the voting system prevent repeated links from getting noticed much? Right now it sounds like I should fire-and-forget links without bothering to check if they've been posted; I don't want to waste people's time if it's already been around.
- rbanffy 16y ago> And then what? Repeated posts are not a big problem. They allow newcomers to discuss things that were already discussed.
- jff 16y agoIf it's "hacker folklore" (I think this counts) and it's not a brand-new account by one of the guys who were there, it's probably already been posted ;)
- avar 16y agoI once bought an SGI Indy for $20 just to try to run that one program, but I got bogged down with the complex process required to install IRIX and threw the box out when I moved.
- stuhacking 16y agoDoes anyone here know if the Jurassic Park infrastructure was ever documented anywhere, based on the nuggets of information in the books and films? I realise that wouldn't have much real world value, but it would be fun to read through.
