The "don't touch my screen" thing is fine by me, but that mardy shit can fuck off, either say it or get out.
Honestly, if you started getting up and walking away every time I came to your cube, I'd be there 3 times a day and half of the other people in the office would be in on it and find it hilarious and you'd probably end up in the cupboard crying and hand in your notice.
Seriously just say "please don't touch my screen" instead of this hilarious behaviour.
javascript, keep it
Including the shell still in use today http://doc.cat-v.org/plan_9/4th_edition/papers/rc best shell ever
And my favourite web browser : Mothra

while you argue over css / tables - try writing for a browser that has neither !
That was lulz
Newsflash : "more Irish were sold as slaves to the American colonies and plantations from 1651 to 1660 than the total existing “free” population of the Americas"

From 1641 to 1652, over 500,000 Irish were killed by the English and another 300,000 were sold as slaves. Ireland's population fell from about 1,500,000 to 600,000 in one single decade. Families were ripped apart as the British did not allow Irish dads to take their wives and children with them across the Atlantic. This led to a helpless population of homeless women and children. Britain's solution was to auction them off as well.
During the 1650s, over 100,000 Irish children between the ages of 10 and 14 were taken from their parents and sold as slaves in the West Indies, Virginia and New England. In this decade, 52,000 Irish (mostly women and children) were sold to Barbados and Virginia. Another 30,000 Irish men and women were also transported and sold to the highest bidder. In 1656, Cromwell ordered that 2000 Irish children be taken to Jamaica and sold as slaves to English settlers.

Had anyone even heard of this service?
Why you think you're some sort of web "expert" is beyond me. A real expert wouldn't be using javascript for this for a start.
Punishing third parties because of some moral crusade is dumb.
Slows down the web hahahah jeesh.

Inferno is an operating system built using similar principles to Plan 9. Everything is a file and 9p is the glue (called Styx in Inferno). However the core of the system is the Emu virtual machine. The system and drivers are written in C but the userland programs are written in Limbo and executed in the VM which can JIT compile it if necessary. It runs on multiple architectures X86, ARM, PowerPC and Sparc.
Another great feature is that the whole shebang can run as a user application in Windows / Linux / OSX / BSD / Plan9 / Solaris and even as an ActiveX control in Internet Explorer!
There is a program wm/wm which presents a draw device with the same protocol as Plan9 which takes a headache out of porting familiar Plan9 programs like Acme. This has also enabled a spin-off Acme-SAC (Stand Alone Client) which is basically Acme for $OS - http://www.caerwyn.com/acme/
Limbo is a statically typed, garbage collected language with built in primitives for CSP style coding ( http://swtch.com/~rsc/thread/ )
hear(c : chan of string; ip : string)
{
result : string;
# code here for opening and listening
c <-= result;
}
c := array[4] of chan of string;
spawn(hear, c[0], "123.123.123.10");
spawn(hear, c[1], "123.123.123.11");
spawn(hear, c[2], "123.123.123.12");
spawn(hear, c[3], "123.123.123.13");
(i, s) := <-c;
sys->print("%s came from %d\n", i, j);I'm a professional Limbo / Inferno programmer if you want to ask any questions.
Some of my code is here
just doesn't get it / care
