6/11    Does anyone have experience with bitkeeper? There is a guy
        at work who thinks that it is the best version control system
        ever and wants us to use it, but I'm just not convinced that
        its orders of magnitude better than cvs and clearcase.
        \_ if you work at transmeta and the "guy at work" is finnish
           and answers the the name of a certain Peanuts character you're
           not going to convince him to use cvs.
           \_ he's a fucking idiot.  the code base is a mess.
              \_ he's done more with his life than you have with yours.
                 \_ oh really?  so he's written some code, annoyed lots of
                    decent hard working people and has a job at a dotcom that's
              sun standard or something else.
                    totally fucked.  yes?  and?  go suck his dick if you think
                    he's some sort of god.  linux weenies... get over it.
           \_ I work at sun. We are using cvs for our project, but there
              are problems and we are looking at switching either to the
              sun standard or something else. - op
        \_ Forget all others. Use Perforce.
           \_ Perforce doesn't support some of the platforms we use
              and the source isn't available so its not an option
              for us. - op
                \_ what platforms?
                   \_ bsd/linux on sparc, and a few others I can't
                      talk about. We tried running it under solaris/linux
                      emulation, but ran into some problems.
                        \_ If your company is using bsd or linux on sparcs
                           they are retarded, if both then fucking retarded.
              \_ You're seriously be editing the source to your vcs?  No way.
              \_ You'll seriously be editing the source to your vcs?  No way.
                 \_ Since the source isn't available we can't build it
                    for our unsupported platforms.
                    \_ I see.  I misread.  My error.
