Yes, it was amazing to reach in and pull a processor and have everything still work. It had some very cool early on virtualization tricks. I always liked Sun hardware although it was expensive. > On Jul 3, 2017, at 2:43 PM, 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries >

I had a bunch of very cool Sparcs when I ran my ISP. Sparc 20 hardware was pretty exciting at the time. I had it loaded up with Ross processors and memory chugging away on NNTP. The coolest hardware I ever worked with from Sun was the E10K. It was so cool changing processors while the

Scott, the problem is that MIT has ignored 6 until very recently. I work via MIT hosted machines, a good number of which are not reachable by 6, e.g. irc.w3.org Scott Granados writes: > Wow, parts of 18.0.0.0/8 up for grabs. There’s a very simple and convincing > argument to that complainers

That's funny about MIT. What's actually happening is that they're finally moving to IPv6. They're among the last to adopt 6, in part because they early on acquired so much 4 space. So, this complainant is behind the times. Innovating for 4 is no longer forward thinking, imo. Janina Jonathan

Actually this is a good hint at how to do advanced commands in VI. g/outahere/d will globally find every line with outta here in it and delete that line. Perhaps we need a gred command to delete all files with a word in them :-) Actually makes me remember when I was only able to see two or

Re: How to use terminal?

Grep is a text search utility. If one has a person's name for example in a text file it can spot it, the result appears just above the command line. So for example: grep williams file This would return any line with "williams in the file. It is very powerful and can do much more then simple

My favorite obscure command is grep. I believe it means "get repetition." Checking with Wikipedia I find it's a bit more elaborate: "globally search a regular expression and print." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grep Anyway you slice it, it's a funny way to say "Find!" I wonder whether Google

Re: How to use terminal?

I just verified from the Free BSD man pages and su is described as "substitute user identity". So, if you are comfortable with terminal and share a machine with somebody, then the command: sudo su somebody - will give you permission to see all that person's files. Of course any encrypted files

Hey, Scott: The feeling is mutual. There's a bit more vocabulary associated with su. It's super user because this is the user with extraordinary powers that will trump all other permissions on the system. Simple example: If you have multiple users and one forgets their password, the super user
