One project I did get to try was to see if I could vectorize the UNIX =
crypt routine.     There was a common joke at the time that if a hacker =
had a Cray, he might be able to derive a lot of passwords.   Since my =
job a the time had officially computer security in it, I got to try.   =
It wasn=E2=80=99t as much fun as converting the SGI flight simulator to =
use TCP/IP so that when 6PM rolled around every day all the SGI=E2=80=99s =
at the lab went into a massive dog fight.    I remember being collared =
at an IETC meeting at NASA Ames and being forced to give them the mods.  =
  I figured I killed productivity at NASA for quite a bit with that =
move.
