slashdot is also the only place where people would be commenting how
restrictive the Plan 9 license is (sometimes even referring to the
1995 one, not even the 2000 one) while slamming the OS for not being
up-to-date with whatever the current fashions are. yesterday's
discussion was similar to a bunch of lemmings running around screaming
"persistent objects! persistent objects!"... it must be that the 20
year cycle has gotten us back to the days of OO again.

the most insight comes from the anonymous posters, damn cowards :)
