Not much of a sense of humor, right?

Anyway, Plan 9 (from outer space) is the new brainchild of Ken
Thompson. If you believe Ken can't come up with "new thinking", or
that you are in a position to throw cute remarks at the Turing award
winning creator of the most important OS and programming environment
ever, you seriously need a clue.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Actually, I was just commenting on the content-free nature of the 
original post.  If you reread the original, it does indeed sound like
DOS.

Hey, if you can't throw cute remarks at the establishment, what the hell's
the world coming to?  Why do you think it's named Plan 9 (from outer space)
anyway, that sure as hell didn't come from the marketing slime. And yes,
I do need to get a clue.  That's why I'm where I am.
