- tptacek 11y agoWhoah. Missed that. That makes a lot of sense. So what I've also learned is that I never needed to understand WTF "Avago" was. It's like something stuck in the middle of the evaluation stack of an expression parser.
- angersock 11y agoHah, kind of like when Rackables became SGI.
- rayiner 11y agoWait, what?
- rsync 11y agoRackables bought SGI (Silicon Graphics) and then renamed themselves "SGI". It was a sad day.
- vl 11y agoThis is just stupid. Rackable was already way better known brand in datacenters/cloud than SGI. Who nowadays even remembers SGI?
- nicklaf 11y ago...or when one 'Tera Computer Company' bought what was left of Cray from SGI, renamed itself Cray Inc., and released reworked versions of existing products under the Cray name.
