It was on slashdot a couple of days ago, and the commentary there was as idiotic as one would expect. E.g., Thompson is bitter that Linux has completely overshadowed Plan 9 and he can't accept that a 21 year old kid did a better job with the Unix idea than Thompson was able to do with all the power of AT&T behind him. (And that example is not even from some random slashdot anonymous poster...it's from a well known Linux advocate).
