Alexis de Tocqueville Institution
Poor Linus Torvalds now getting flack saying he didnt write Linux and that he sourced it from Minux,. Will be interesting to see how this unfolds giving the animosity that Linux wrote about in his autobiography between the Minux inventor and himself. Alexis de Tocqueville Institution
And here is a reply by the inventor of Minux. What a cool guy to stand up and defend Linus, although a bit back handed as he reckoned Linus's code was was more backward than his.

System Failure
This is an interesting book about the failure of social policies written by my old lost friend Jake Chapman. I like his analogy about throwing a stone and throwing a live bird in terms of trying to predict an outcome. Jake (wka Pete) taught me most of my electronics knowledge. A brilliant teacher. We even had a business together, CamEl making music operated lights - That was novel in the late sixties!
