why was this flagged? come on, someone is trying to mess with me.

@zemo: Wow! I'm impressed; that's a strong synopsis. Happy that at least some people understood some of the value.

@scrubs: i hear and feel u. Four points. 1. I agree about the aesthetics of the URLs -- grotesque! The URLs were provided in explicit form for reasons of transparency (aka trust/lessness) -- sometimes aesthetics is orthogonal to being transparent. 2. I suppose your background isn't TCS otherwise, we wouldn't have the debate about parenthetical expressions. 3. If you read the piece closely, you might realize some extensions of Ken Thompson's Turing Award Lecture (which in itself should be a must read!). 4. Thanks for taking the time to vocalize your sentiment.

@sb: thanks for the kind, almost hyperbolic gesture.
