Too true.  Entertaining, as well, although the material gave the impression
of having been trotted out in front of many audiences before it reached the
assembled hackers of USENIX.  The speaker was Jim Tomayko, Software
Engineering Institute, CMU.  Sadly, one of the things that makes keynotes
different from the rest of a conference is that they don't get written up
in the proceedings, so there's no point in asking.  And I'm pretty sure
that USENIX (unlike, say, UniForum) doesn't publish conference tapes, so
you can't order up a cassette and listen to it as you drive to the spaceport
(or whatever).
