More From Tanenbaum

· Score: 5, Interesting
I'm not trying to make a hero out of AST, but he has been one of the most influential person in computer science. Not only has he contributed in terms of his creative input, but his bigger contribution is in teaching. His book on Computer Networks inspired me to write one myself.
Have you ever met Tanenbaum? Can you say that somebody is a "prick" just because he is willing to engage in a discussion solely on the basis of technical merits and because he loves one thing and hates another. I'll at least meet the person before debunking him as an egotist.
And Tanenbaum's achievements go beyond Minix. You can find out more if you care to look for his contributions on the web. He doesn't even count Minix as his achievement. The world does not know him for Minix. It was just a nice "add-on" to his operating book.
I agree that a lot of people in academia have superinflated egos, but the ones who are at the top are because of their earnest desire to learn and explore new realms of their beloved fields. If Tannenbaum was narrow minded to get entangled in micro-kernel vs. macro-kernel, he wouldn't be where he is right now.
Remember that research is more about asking questions, engaging in discussions, acting as a devil's advocate to prove yourself wrong, and dealing paradoxes then it is about answering them. I'm sure nobody around here as any doubt about contribution Tannenbaum has made to computer sceience can be surpassed only by few.
He so totally rocks and has been my inspirtation since my undergrad days and has written a few books that I will never part with.
Evil bit?

Shouldn't we ask the spammers to set the evil bit? We know that spammers in their good faith will set this in every bit outgoing packet. That should solve all the problems.
Andy Tanenbaum was *not* "one of the leading authorities". He was a professor of computer science teaching operating system theory, using Minix as a teaching tool.
Article say that the amount is Rs 50 crore which is Rs 500 million and $1 = Rs 48 (approx). So the cost of the machine is $10 million (approx) which is more or less equal to the equivalent machines available in the international market.

Old story,
Rest of the world does this. I was pretty surprised to see that in US I can't reserve a particular seat in advance.
