Always has been - always will be. And there is no bloody mmap() in sight. Also I believe that every bad science fiction movie is analogous to a computer science moral play. And the more the movie tries to make sense the bigger the lesson to be learnt. Of course Plan9 chose the worst movie for the best lessons-that-have-been-learnt. Just making it up - I seem to be the last foreign 9fan in town. brucee On Mon, Nov 3, 2008 at 8:58 AM, ron minnich wrote: > On Sun, Nov 2, 2008 at 11:29 PM, Charles Forsyth wrote: >>>I still remember this science fiction movie from when I was a kid. >> >> which one was that? it sounds more interesting than mmap. >> >> > > I wish I could remember.
