An essay by
Neal Stephenson. A very good essay dealing with the problems of
Metaphor Shear,
Operating Systems,
Disneyland, and
Morlocks vs Eloi. Has a nice little section on it comparing
Linux to a power drill called the
Hole Hawg.
Can be found at Cryptonomicon.com. Definitely worth a read, if only for the insights on Interface Design.
I swear I'm just digging myself deeper. Every time I fill out a nodeshell I end up creating three or four more.
