Re: [mhvlug] We all morn the passing of Ian Murdock

[Bill Rubin]

In Daniel Suarez' ingenious 2006 tech thriller Daemon, a famous high-tech captain of industry (think Steve Jobs) creates a daemon which is able to discover when he dies (by reading news reports). His daemon cannot be destroyed because it exists in multiple copies in the cloud, and can respond adaptively to attacks. After his death, the daemon initiates all kinds of havoc in the real world, beginning with murdering his enemies. Bill On 01/03/2016 02:19 PM, japuzzo wrote: How could I send my own death notice?
