i think he's just bored. he's done it all and his name hasn't been in the press enough lately. although the latest ieee spectrum has him on the cover with a big slide rule. i gotta find the time to read that article. perhaps he's fishing for venture capital for something new and needs good press (or any press - or any press is good press). perhaps it has something to do with the internet :-) i used to think that he was ridiculous as well, but it's just too easy. he might not fully understand the issues but i'm sure that there are a hundred or so folks who used to work for him who would be glad to explain them to him over the phone. i think that there is a purpose here.

I'd like to make him to look ridiculous. That's harmless at least and there's a chance that this will make him to go away. Actually i don't understand what his motivation is. It appears that it is not material; and any decent person wouldn't just go and use somebody else's problems as a ladder to do social climbing. --vadim
