Did you miss your starbucks this morning ? Son. VMS was a radical system in it's day, but users were not connected by any networks except landlines.Yes VMS was radical. Nothing to do with the current discussion.This is the fortieth anniversary of Unix© from Bell Labs.
Unix© was designed from the beginning as a multi-user networked (arpanet) robust fault tolerant system.
No Unix didn't have a standard networking subsystem until 15 years or so after it's creation. Not only that, but networking came from BSD not out of 1127. The 1127 guys *hated* sockets and still do because it broke the Unix interface.
During the DARPA days of BSD development, DOD added requirements for robustness and resilience against hostile enemy attacks.And the sky is blue. Both comments are equally relevant.
Segmentation and fault tolerance was mandated for use in phone switches.Unix was designed as a typesetting system.
There were API interfaces in Unix© prior to 1983 when BSD sockets were introduced in 4.2Yes, and they all sucked. Ask the 1127 guys.
Just for your education:Ignorant and pendantic is no way to go through life son.
Rick Rashid was a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University in 1983 when he began work on Mach, a Unix-based message-passing operating system for multiprocessing applications. Mach was built on a BSD version of Unix; it was a "microkernel" that replaced the BSD kernel.And?
You claim that A T & T Bell Labs does not understand networks What a hoot LOL rotflolYawn... I'm claiming the UCB didn't understand networks. The 1127 guys put in a better interface(dial strings) in the mid to late 80's IIRC.
I'll take certified Unix© with a BenutzerFreundlichkeit interface over some cobbled together junk from Billie Gates, the huckster from Redmond.I never said that I use windows. Just that you were stupid.There are some people today who have had too many self-affirmation courses and have never developed interpersonal skill sets in order to facilitate communication.
As background, I was an Member of Technical Staff in Bell Labs all during the eighties.And you're still an idiot. Congratulations. I'll bet that's not on your CV OBTW are you a member of Mensa ?My boss was Distinguished MTS and an assignee on many patents including Audix©. For those who are not familiar with Audix©, it was the first voicemail.
I met Kernighan and Richie at conferences.
I worked with F.P. (Ivan) Polensky.
I used both Sys V and BSD 4.3 with kshell and Emacs on BLITs with mice on platforms from naked boards to multiprocessor mainframes.
I supported the Bell Labs Network(BLN) a combination of uucp and Jes3 store and forwarding.
Spent some time building shell code for typesetting on office lasers.
I was the Project Manager for the porting of switch backplanes CAD/CAM from IBM mainframes to Sun workstations.
Worked in teams porting IBM System Assembler Macros to "C" for use in phone switches.
You seem to have many deep seated issues.Your interpersonal skill-sets are lacking.
I'll bet I was working in Bell Labs while you were still in diapers.
You need to work on your reading and comprehensions skill-sets
You misread and assume things which were never said.
I have not paid my Mensa dues in years.
Many years before they allowed SAT test scores for admission
I'll still take certified Unix© with a BenutzerFreundlichkeit interface
