I think you might be right that he was an early player of a patent filing game that has grown to become rather controversial in some spheres, namely software. The only way to know, besides being alive at that time, is to do the historical

I rememember reading about Treffert and his "thinking cap" over ten years ago. I think it may have actually been in Wired. This article was too short. I was hoping for a more "NewYorker-length" piece.

I'm reading through No Execute now and it's fantastic so far. Thanks again for redirecting our attention toward some quality stuff. I'm psyched to get some version of Plan9 running on a netbook. Plan9 is work of art.

It's because some people really do like complexity. They like writing 200 pages of documentation. And some like reading it. They want complexity. Keep adding stuff. I remember reading one of the Windows programmers' hero's writing about

I just ran across No Execute on your blog. I can't believe I never found that before (I've chased up all the Plan 9 stuff before). I've also been an Atlast user for a few years. Can't believe I never heard about your fork of it. John Wal

Question for the author: Your blog says you have an EeePC and run Plan 9. So does Plan 9 run on the Eee? If yes, which Eee model do you have? As for the article, it's been a while since I looked at Inferno. Thanks for redirecting atten

The part about the colleagues only putting in a few productive hours each day is spot on. They are riding on the company's coattails. It is a sort of corporate-sponsored welfare that no one notices until the company stops performing. The

I'd love to see some of the search engines who are catering to more sophisticated searchers just tell us the BOSS, or whatever cache they are licensing, API functions and then indicate which ones they are supporting. For all we know several

What's that early Star Trek Episode? The Menagerie? The one with Colonel Pike.

If this really bothers users, we can introduce more browser plugins or HTTP proxies that strip out the Facebook links and Javascript from the html. Proxies that inject Javascript into html are already in widespread use. It's just as easy

Can't think of a catchy name for it, but maybe the StackExch team needs to start a "Programmer Confessions" forum.

Maybe it's not "hate" of Zuckerberg. Maybe it's just looking at a person's actions and disapproving. "Hating the game." And every person with the skills has a choice whether they want to play it. Zuckerberg can do the right thing. He's

Social honeypot. Perfect. HN itself is a sort of social honeypot. But just look at what FB does with the information they collect. They simply have no sense of restraint. And it all starts with Zuckerberg and his attitude.

It does change things when you know the people personally in terms of what you might say about the company they work for. But what the "HN mob" is evaluating is what Facebook is actually doing, not each and every employee of the company as

Eventually, when Facebook reaches their sunset, the information will be sold off. It will be used in direct marketing by other companies. This is an opinion not fact.
