everyone, please, read the following blog post before using any 'wow!'s in your next exclamation:

"While Paxos can be described with a page of pseudo-code, our complete implementation contains several thousand lines of C++ code."

+ "On UNIX, the adage goes, everything is a file."

- not all the things on unix are abstracted as files (or 'byte streams' to be more accurate). however, i/o resources and some ipc facilities are defined so. an operating system provides many other abstractions in addition to these such as processes, threads, non-stream devices, concurrency and synchronization primitives, etc.; thus it's absolutely wrong to say that everything is a file on unix.

I can barely hide the truth now, let me elucidate: I am from the department of PR, the United Nations where Bill Gates and I have been trying hard to keep it secret that some people who work for UNICEF have been seen killing babies for a while now with use of laughter which they cause by injecting hyperpepsinic and hypoacoustic polynuclear bazookas into their own asses.

This is not an official announcement, it is not even an announcement. What the fuck are you talking about?

I'm just a .NET developer who is following what's new in the field and bearing no relation to Microsoft's PR department. This issue comment was posted 6 days ago so they much likely didn't know this was possible when they were reporting news from the event Microsoft Connect(); 2016 last week.

i've been aware of this attack for about 10 years, how can it be a new finding? the following article was written in 1997.
