Hehe. I've been playing with Illumos and SmartOS of late. I really do like properly engineered systems

Itaniums are probably best kept in a shed. Too noisy for the house.

HP putting the patches behind a paywall discouraged me from trying 8.4.

Ah, hadn't read the end of the thread,

Mr ms is in VMS support, and oft tells the tale of the customer with the p155f14p5 password.

It didn't understand l33tsp34k though.
