A bit of historical context: this paper came out in 2003, the same year NPTL (in RH9) and Linux 2.6.0 (first stable kernel with epoll, 2.5.44 introduced it in 2002) were released.

Love it. It would be nice to be able to subscribe to certain specific time frames, e.g., over the weekend; it's much easier to impulsively travel then while holding down a traditional full-time position. Nevertheless, subscribed!
