anyone who has programmed on unix or even done tcp/ip networking code on
any platform has probably come across a book by richard stevens. anyone
who reads /. saw his obit on sunday. and lastly, anyone who's had
contact with the human race has noticed that some people are complete
assholes.
so if you read across /. and read the obit (set it to 3 points) make sure
to drop a line to tchrist at domain perl.com. he's also contributed a lot to the
free s/w community, and if stephens' books made your life easier/better
you might want to let him know that his friend helped you out.
there never will be a way to screen out complete losers, but the least
we can do is remind people that losers are a minority.
