stupid
Typical academic reasearcher who probably never wrote any code.
Hey Ricky Clayton, how about the OS maker who allows access to certain memory locations by a device driver which did not exist at the OS release time? ewwwwwwwww. You could write another worthless research paper and convince a tech writer to cover it so Cambridge knows you are still publishing when looking at your tenure. Enough crap they do not understand and you'll never be forced to try and get a real job.
Sounds like Ricky Clayton should go into history of film or some other equally important area more suited to his talents.
