hi! chasing down netbsd pr 49451:
http://marc.info/?l=netbsd-bugs&m=141777721109930
they've basically added an attribute to the following quote:
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a rigged
demo.
-- Andy Finkel, Commodore-Amiga Inc.
the trouble is when i put it in a search engine i get just as many (more
maybe) hits for a guy called james klass.
anyone have anything definitive? of course, this may explain why there's
currently no attribute ;)
full pr below.
jmc
ps the actual quote is duplicated in fortunes2 too, so i'll kill it from
their once i sort this out.
