- Keyframe 2y agofirst thing that came to my mind! what a throwback!
- PaulHoule 2y agoWhen I think of SGI I think of numerous stories of screw-ups: like the professor who bought one without enough RAM, plugged it into the Ethernet and power for three years, didn’t use it, but it got hacked. Or the 1990s demo where Geoffrey Fox had two twin from eastern Europe try to run a program on a fashionable big SMO machine and it failed, and Fox said “Never buy a gigabyte of cheap RAM!”
- ofrzeta 2y agoSecurity wasn't exactly priority #1 with SGI. In our lab we wouldn't bother to remember root passwords because it was so easy to download some of many root exploits for IRIX.
