I note that the paper didn't reference any other Plan 9'ish
things other than Inferno.  Not having read the paper I assume
that it is an Inferno like thing.  I wonder then, why they
don't reference Wirth's and Gutknecht's Oberon system?
Rob did.

Let's see, first there was the Cyclone clone (Vault C), now there is a
Plan9-ish/EROS-ish kernel...
Before all of this was "Active Directory" (Kerberos/LDAP)...
The 'research' seems to be focused upon many things already released into
the wild &
brining them to the point of being 'Microsoft' products...

Nietzsche's first step is to accept what he knows. Atheism for him goes
without saying and is "contructive and
radical". Nietzsche's supreme vocation, so he says, is to provoke a kind of
crisis and a final decision about the
problem of atheism. The world continues on its course at random and there is
nothing final about it. Thus God
is useless, since He wants nothing in particular. If he wanted something --
and here we recognize the traditional
forumlation of the problem of evil -- He would have to assume responsiblity
for "a sum total of pain and inconsistency
which would debase the entire value of being born."
