Are Intel employees forbidden to post to Usenet? Even when they speak for themselves? Is Intel afraid they might leak trade secrets? Or, worse, clarify a patent claim? ;-) Regards.

Perhaps not forbidden. Very strongly discouraged. VERY strongly discouraged.

Watson was quite different from the product organizations; there used to be a lot more people on Usenet from there.

I sat on the 1st 2 SC's in 1988 and 1989 (Orlando and Reno), later I was given a room, because I was the only person capable of driving the founding Chair (George), and I suggested "Why not get him an electric wheel chair?" which occurred to no one on the Committee. He got too heavy to easily fly. SC' has evolved into the ACM's and IEEE CS's National Conference and COMPCON. I was on local arrangements for one of the last ACM Natl. conference in San Francisco in 1984. It's now a multi ring circus with the experience of various ACM SIGs, Usenix (where do you think the networking came from?), and small invitation only conferences like the Natl Labs/DOE Salishan, and others. There's a technical papers track, demos, panels, an exhibit floor. It's got a number of standing committees and for the ACM it has a "diversity" component (education and women and minorities). There's a balance all this advanced stuff as well as history and the past. It will by sheer size not have the intimacy of invitation only conferences. The first you actually had the chance to talk with Cray (a few people). He's gone, but others exist. The size draws some flak, but the people do what they can. It's not as big as am ACM/SIGGRAPH or a CES (really big). The people really in the know tend to get drawn off to the side with private little talks. These are not consumer items. Emphasis is tried for younger students: grad, undergrad, and even as far down as HS. Specialized meetings like say ISCA lack the breath and have stronger papers. Beside history, sometimes they they to throw some art in. The idea is to mix developers of systems and users together. Proceedings now come on a USB key. >I'm so glad that I'm out of Intel.
