• 1. some years ago word reached me concerning yourproficiency, of which everybody constantly spoke. At that timeI began to have a very high regard for you... For I had learnedthat you had not merely mastered the discoveries of theancient astronomers uncommonly well but had alsoformulated a new cosmology. In it you maintain that the earthmoves; that the sun occupies the lowest, and thus the central,place in the universe... Therefore with the utmost earnestnessI entreat you, most learned sir, unless I inconvenience you, tocommunicate this discovery of yours to scholars, and at theearliest possible moment to send me your writings on thesphere of the universe together with the tables and whateverelse you have that is relevant to this subject ...

Taking the "forklift upgrade" approach tonetworking, it specified eliminating all existingprotocols and replacing them with new ones atall layers of the stack. This madeimplementation difficult, and was resisted bymany vendors and users with significantinvestments in other network technologies. Inaddition, the protocols included so manyoptional features that many vendorsimplementations were not interoperable.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Systems_Interconnection 36. let the critics fix the problems. 37. avoid unintendedconsequences of control. 38. practice separation ofconcerns 39. Edsger Wybe Dijkstra 40. We know that a program must be correct and we can study it from that viewpoint only; we also know that it should be efficient and we can study its efficiency on another day, so to speak. In another mood we may ask ourselves whether, and if so: why, the program is desirable. But nothing is gained --on the contrary!-- bytackling these various aspects simultaneously. It is what I sometimes have called "the separation of concerns",which, even if not perfectly possible, is yet the only available technique for effective ordering of onesthoughts, that I know of. This is what I mean by "focusing ones attention upon some aspect": it doesnot mean ignoring the other aspects, it is just doingjustice to the fact that from this aspects point of view,the other is irrelevant. It is being one- and multiple-track minded simultaneously. 41. treat content, data, software, and privacy inseparate bins, but with aneye towards forming astack. 42.
