|
|||
|
|
features some truly unique bogosities in the filesystem internals and
|
|||
|
|
elsewhere (these occasionally create portability problems). HP-UX is often
|
|||
|
|
referred to as ‘hockey-pux’ inside HP, and one respondent
|
|||
|
|
claims that the proper pronunciation is <span class="pronunciation">/H<>P
|
|||
|
|
ukkkhhhh/</span> as though one were about to spit. Another such
|
|||
|
|
alternate spelling and pronunciation is “<span class="quote">H-PUX</span>” <span class="pronunciation">/H-puhks/</span>. Hackers at HP/Apollo (the
|
|||
|
|
former Apollo Computers which was swallowed by HP in 1989) have been heard
|
|||
|
|
to complain that Mr. Packard should have pushed to have his name first, if
|
|||
|
|
for no other reason than the greater eloquence of the resulting acronym.
