Oh, all bets are off when I'm drunk. :)
On the topic, here's a fun exchange that went down in a meeting when I eithery at
TJU.
Boss: Blah, blah pendantic...
Me (interrupting): Pedantic. One n.
Other dude: What does pedantic mean?
Boss (pointing at me): That.

Yup. :) And since when are you a pedant?? I've always been pedantic
enough for both of us. Perhaps I just know in my heart that Sun made
a mistake with the naming. ;)

Not quite. Solaris 1.1.2 is SunOS 4.1.4.
That was an
after-the-fact rebranding, but still. What
you state below is the
common and accepted usage.

Well, since the last release of
SunOS (not Solaris) was in 1994,
and the last release of Ultrix
was in 1995..
It's still SunOS. Solaris is a
different thing. Thanks marketing twats!
I think you can get burnt
whether it's a bunch of
academics
eternally discussing purity
in committees or a couple of
kids just
picking something.
Very true. The only way to truly
protect yourself is to have
the source code and revert any
poor decisions that they make. Oh,
wait, we can do that!
So I've fallen into watching old
Bryan Cantrill interviews. His
rants on this are FANTASTIC.
