I had thought Google was supposed to be a halfway decent place to work. You create the Plan 9 operating system, the best in the entire universe, and Google hires you, and they won't even give you a decent installation of the OS you created? GOOGLE YOU SUCK! Seriously. If Google was half as smart as people say they are, they would have a big Plan 9 installation to develop ideas on, and they would share a lot of Plan 9 improvements with the world because Plan 9 is the antidote to the total crappiness of everything else, in comparison. GIVE THE PLAN 9 GUYS ALL THE PLAN 9 THEY WANT GOOGLE!!!!! Ben Kidwell "mycroftiv"
