Ya! But isn't it that the beat(e.g. kerouac, burroughs, dylan thomas etc.) inspired
flower people gave the world the likes of Thompson & Richie ( craetor of Unix) and
later Kerniggan teaming up with with Ritchie wrote C. You may also include Bill Gates,
Ellison and java creator Gosling to this flower people who changed the world.
Eventually AT&T gave a copy of its kernel to UC Berkeley that later on came out with
the freeBSD. Wellwho knows what keeping us all busy is just a product of psychedellic
trips of these great guys, Kernigan, Ritchie & Thompson. Later, they inspired Linus
Torvalds to write something that duplicate UNIX eventually the Linux we are using.
For Gates, well ppl love to throw pies on his face and for Ellison he may end crashing
with his MIG. They are the cause of our bad trips!
