Mark if you wanna see a textbook example of infantile FUD in action all
you need to do is read your own blog at
http://gridenginetruth.blogspot.com/
gridengine.com has been owned by a domain speculator or some other
value-less operator since at least 2005 when I bought the
gridengine.info and gridengine.org domains. Just like gridengine.net is
being used right now in fact.
gridengine.com has *never* been used for anything GE related and a quick
visit to archive.org will show that it's basically hosted a domain
parking page for years.
And now ... it redirects ... to univa.com ... the company that hired a
bunch of the GE development team ... The company that sells and supports
a GE variant ... the company with a product called ... (drumroll) ...
"Grid Engine".
FUD != "company purchasing a domain name from a speculator that
accurately describes the product they are developing and selling"
Wait until someone does a google search for "open grid scheduler" and
notices that Univa might have bought placement around those keywords.
That's totally gonna blow some minds. Maybe I should get in front of
that outrage train and label it UltraMegaUberFUD :)
