Tis sad, but it still erks me to see how they associate him with the success of gnutella like it was all because of him that gnutella suceeded...

vawlk? As in the guy who created GnuCache? I haven't seen you around in ages. Where did you go?

I remeber Gene's and Steve Kimball's Gnubile. That must have been over 2 years ago by now, hasn't it?

I agree with Vawlk. But nonetheless, it's sad news. :( And considering that Gene Kan was the same age as I am when he passed away, that's scary...

He didn’t pass away; he committed suicide.

I C. I didn't read the first link you posted, but the second one, where they noted it was as a result of an accident (figuring it could have been a car accident or so). That's even more sad and scary then.

Damn, why did he want to commit sucide? Because of girlfriend???
