That has to be the best paper I've ever read

I thought you were joking, but I had to click anyway. You're right, this paper is fantastic. I thought Micken's stopped writing, I'm so glad he didn't.

That was fun. I'm going to read all the rest of his stuff now. Thats dangerous linking, username223.

Wow, I think Mickens may oversimplify a few points for comedic effect, but that is a wonderful read!

>>userna+(OP)
Amazing

i don't know how he gets paid to write these. perhaps as class clown for the fine folks at microsoft research? in any case, very amusing.

He does real systems research:

He just also has a sense of humor, and makes time to exercise it.
