The Times today has an article about Y-Combinator, a hatchery for technology startups. I’m hoping I’ll find some potential employers among its offspring.
However, I was particularly amused to see that the bio of co-founder Robert Morris on the About Y Combinator page states that “in 1988 his discovery of buffer overflow first brought the Internet to the attention of the general public.” That’s something of a roundabout way of confirming that he is the Robert Morris, whose use of the buffer overflow discovery inadvertently brought the nascent Interntet to its knees and made him the first person indicted under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986.
