[tahoe-dev] my klog: I critique an academic Tahoe-LAFS-like cryptosystem

[Troy Benjegerdes]

I think this is quite relevant. I would not be so charitable to the
academic researchers. The fact that they do not reference Tahoe is
an example of everything wrong with academic overspecialization, and
the 'paper mill' problem. (See http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/scigen/ for
a very amusing response to the problem)

If anyone is motivated enough, I would be quite happy to participate
in hacking up the scigen code to automatically generate TAHOE-LAFS
papers, and then submit them to various conferences.

I have only managed to get a couple of papers published myself, but 
writing code to write papers sounds like much more fun to me ;)

Unless hours were cups of sack, and minutes capons, and clocks the tongues
of bawds, and dials the signs of leaping houses, and the blessed sun himself
a fair, hot wench in flame-colored taffeta, I see no reason why thou shouldst
be so superfluous to demand the time of the day.  I wasted time and now doth
time waste me.                        -- William Shakespeare
