(NOTE: Due to problems with a Web-hosting switchover, the article mentioned below is not easily accessible, so I’ve done a cut-and-paste version here.)
The above photo will make a small subset of the human population (Unix fanatics) go bananas. It’s the collection of fake Unix/Linux license plates owned by Amherst’s Jon “maddog” Hall, dating back to the one that says “Trademark Of Bell Labs.”
Hall has the only *real* UNIX license plate in New Hampshire, on his Jeep. I present this photo as a tease: I will have the entire story about his license plate in Sunday’s Telegraph. Before then, you have to console yourself wondering what the heck that ULTRIX plate is doing there … in blue?!?!
