The weirdest part about the flip was that it almost seemed like Cisco acquired it to kill it off. It had such a strong ad campaign, and then it just evaporated? Looking back at that moment in time, it seemed a little too early to catch the

LFS feels like a dead project. The project presents itself as a "book." Some of the provided tarballs are riddled with old vulnerabilities (and served over insecure channels ( !!! ) with no integrity checks), and thus it is relega

Oh, come on. Just because old technology is too complicated to repair or upgrade doesn't mean the entire industry has stalled. This is pretty much the definition of "cruft." An accumulation of old defunct artifacts in the fac

I can think of a couple of angles into rationalizing this sort of thing, but then again, they say that even simply giving in to the motivation to rationalize something in any way might be a bit selfish, and (maybe) part of a personality dis

Weird. A base 9 counting system? At first, I counted it off as octal (thinking z for zero ), which seemed pretty reasonable, but then I realized my mistake. Now I read the wiki article, and it's not even nonary.
