Quote of the day..

Historically, we designed systems to minimize the CPU power we used, along with data-storage requirements and the connectivity that was needed. Now, we’re in a different place, where there’s lots of storage, bandwidth and there are multiple CPUs. So when you try to design an operating system for the twenty-first century, you do it with the understanding that things that were expensive, are now cheap. And that leads you to a different design.
