This reminded me of a time not so long ago when I was
seated in
Starbucks in
Menlo Park enjoying my Caramel Macchiato Venti and overhearing a
heated
debate between 6 or 7 guys about the GUI vs. command line issue. It
seemed
to start when a couple of guys in one party, seemingly unknown to
the other
party, who were talking about kde, rudely butted in to their
conversation.
Anyway the debate got so verbal that in the end they were all
ushered out of
Starbucks in an effort to keep the peace. How funny it was.
a 'c | n > k' moment...

There's a reason Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thompson have been awarded
the U.S. National Medal of Technology (1998) and are fellows of the
Computer History Museum Online. Dave Cutler hasn't and isn't.
