You know, Plan 9 promoters would get a lot further if they showcased these kinds of shenanigans front-and-center, instead of talking this abstract talk of "everything is a filesystem". I don't think I've ever previously encountered a system that can patch itself like this in real-time. Though I could be mistaken, PC DOS is pretty capable when it comes to real-time self-modification. And it would be nice if it could patch the driver without (re)booting, although that requires hardware support to work in the general case. -- Svi moji e-mailovi su kriptografski potpisani.
