So,
so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
Did they get you to trade
your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk-on part in the war
for a lead role in a cage?
How I wish,
how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fishbowl,
year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here

Behold 1MB of RAM!
This is a DEC M7551, and as far as I know it's the largest RAM card you could get. Four would max the system. Each one has a DIP switch for a base address and vector, and must be set independently.
“Better Man,” written by Eddie Vedder in his teens and later included on Pearl Jam’s 1994 album Vitalogy, became one of the band’s most consistent live staples.
During their Pinkpop performance, the intro was extended to allow the crowd to sing the opening verses, a format the band often used in the mid-90s and 2000s.
Here's the email I sent to the OpenSolaris Pilot Program the night before we opened the Solaris code on June 14, 2005. Looking at the text now I can see I was pretty bold back then! I like it. Maybe I should get back to that!
Oh, btw, by mistake, I also sent this mail to the LKML too. Forgot to scrub the mailing list. Lessons, lessons.
Anyway, here's me 20 years ago ...
[osol-discuss] Good Luck and Thank You

Hello, OpenSource Pilot Community.
I just wanted to chime in before the fur really flies around here: Good Luck, and Thank You!
You all deserve Sun's thanks for your efforts and your patience this year. It should be wild day tomorrow, for sure, so light up those blogs and start talking, guys. The engineers are leading this launch tomorrow, make no mistake about it.
Oh, and if you want to bring someone into the program, you *don't* have to call me and sign another f****** NDA. Just do it. I can't tell you how happy I am to not have to dig out another NDA. Not that I could read the damn thing but whatever. It's such a cold way to start a friendly little conversation, don't you think? Also, I've tried to honor as many of your requests (and those from internal people) as possible to get people into the program. We ended up with 145, but quite frankly, dozens and dozens of developers never made it in due to lack of time or resources. We even had a dozen Chinese engineers all briefed, translated, and NDA-signed but couldn't get export control approval in time. It drove me nuts for three months. I'm more than a bit pissed about that one.
Anyway, I hope you are happy with the results of what we are all releasing. The core team here has worked almost non-stop for weeks on this to get ready for the final push. We wanted to do more, you know that, but hey, look at where we were last year and look at the potential tomorrow brings. Also, the OpenSolaris team internally really has been genuine in their intentions, I can assure you. At times we've not been as open as we could have been -- we get that -- but I hope you believe
me when I say that many people on the team fought hard on your behalf all year long. Every time you told us we were full of shit on something we took it to heart and it went up line. There were a few, ah, heated, conversations regarding some of the issues that were discussed in the pilot. We won some and we lost some, but every time we moved a little closer to our goal of openness. As you've seen, this stuff takes time. I wish we could have exposed more of that process to you. Next time it will probably be easier to do that.
As this program has grown it's garnered attention from all across Sun and from Sun's competitors and supporters. Just recently, I've heard from executives and engineers traveling to South America and to Asia, and they report that there *absolutely* is massive community interest out there. Even Wall Street has noticed. Some people are probably a bit confused since the Solaris community was supposed to be dead by now. Well, too bad. It's too late. They lost their window of opportunity to crush us. Our next step is to stay positive and to engage the interest we know is there, make it tangible, and grow this OpenSolaris community.
In a very real way, you've all been part of something special here. You've helped change this company and potentially an entire market along the way. Some people may not know this quite yet, but they'll surely find out tomorrow. You are some of the most knowledgeable people in the world about Solaris, and you've help make OpenSolaris a possibility.
Congratulations and we'll see you on the other side.
Jim
