Apropos of nothing, I've noticed there are a handful of systems
charlatans that fast talk, relish in condencention, and make lame
humor to try to appeal to the unlearned (because systems has become
fairly esoteric in the expanding industry) frequenting the conference
tracks. I guess everyone is supposed to be impressed. Cool.
IMO not worth this list's time.

That is the one who mutilated the FreeBSD fortune program no?
(Despite it saying
The potentially offensive fortunes are installed by default on FreeBSD
systems. If you're absolutely, *positively*, without-a-shadow-of-a-doubt
sure that your user community goes berzerk/sues your pants off/drops dead
upon reading one of them, edit the Makefile in the subdirectory datfiles,
and do "make all install".)
Nothing but a hollow lie ever since!
