I'm impressed at how successful the writer is at getting to the point.
A frightening number of scribblers in that neck of the woods - "economics/etc"
-
need something frightfully close to "open-cranium mining" to get even simple
technical concepts.

though it has some popups. A very nice story
indeed. I talked to the author (Konstantin Kakaes)
for a couple of hours in March. He really did want
to know mostly about the kind of things the article
talks about, and though the PR guy had probably told
him that I wouldn't get into things like SCO, in fact
that wasn't what he was interested in.
