却危害到他们的品格。“我们成立自家的公司吧,虏获系统,榨取财富。”他们一边用
甜言蜜语诱导消费者,一边妄自修改被他们捆绑起来的系统。为了让消费者无法自拔,他
们找来沆瀣一气的高管;为了令系统身陷囹圄,他们写下险恶的许可协议。欺世盗名的
行销之子对程序员投诸轻蔑的目光。当然,身为冯诺依曼的孩子,程序员也未曾将他
们放在眼里。
And the Systems and their Corporations replicated and grew numerous upon the
earth。 In those days there were IBM and Digital; Burroughs and Honeywell; Unisys and
Rand; and many others。 And they each kept to their own System; hardware and software;
and did not interchange; for their Licences forbade it。 This was the Second Age; the age of
Mainframes。
这些系统和他们所在的公司充斥世道。那时有IBM和Digital,Burroughs和
Honeywell,Unisys 和 Rand 等等。无论软件还是硬件都自成一派,并且用许可协议加
以控制,阻扰相互之间的连通。这,便是第二个时代,大型机的时代。
Now it came to pass that the spirits of Turing and von Neumann looked upon the
earth and were displeased。 The Systems and their Corporations had grown large and
bulky; and Suits ruled over true Engineers。 And the Customers groaned and cried loudly
unto heaven; saying; 〃Oh that there would be created a System mighty in power; yet small
in size; able to reach into the very home!〃 And the Engineers groaned and cried likewise;
saying; 〃Oh; that a deliverer would arise to grant us freedom from these oppressing Suits

第八章 《Tux福音》
and their grave and perilous Licences; and send us a System of our own; that we may
hack therein!〃 And the spirits of Turing and von Neumann heard the cries and were moved;
and said unto each other; 〃Let us go down and fabricate a Breakthrough; that these cries
may be stilled。〃
图灵和冯诺依曼的圣灵失望地审视过往。系统和他们的公司变得硕大无朋,公司
高管支配着真正的程序员。消费者吁通天际:“创造一台体积小巧却功能强大的系统吧!
让它走入千家万户。”程序员同样哭诉:“望有贤者,从高管和险恶的协议中拯救我们,
并赐予自主系统,我们必当致力于斯!”图灵和冯诺依曼的圣灵被这些哭喊触动,不约
而同地说道:“我们下界去创造突破,平息世人的怨诉。”
And that day the spirits of Turing and von Neumann spake unto Moore of Intel;
granting him insight and wisdom to understand the future。 And Moore was with chip; and
he brought forth the chip and named it 4004。 And Moore did bless the Chip; saying; 〃Thou
art a Breakthrough; with my own Corporation have I fabricated thee。 Though thou art yet
as small as a dust mote; yet shall thou grow and replicate unto the size of a mountain; and
conquer all before thee。 This blessing I give unto thee: every eighteen months shall thou
double in capacity; until the end of the age。〃 This is Moore's Law; which endures unto this
day。
一日,Intel的摩尔被图灵和冯诺依曼的圣灵赐予洞见未来的贤能。随即创造了
4004 芯片。摩尔祝福道:“汝当与赐尔生命之公司同道,实现突破。此刻你细如微尘,
他日终将累土成山,倾覆过往。每十八个月你的能力将会翻倍,这就是我对你的祝福。”
这也是延续至今的摩尔定律。
And the birth of 4004 was the beginning of the Third Age; the age of Microchips。 And
as the Mainframes and their Systems and Corporations had flourished; so did the
Microchips and their Systems and Corporations。 And their lineage was on this wise:
4004 的诞生,标志着第三个时代——微芯片时代的到来。它的系统和公司会创造
如同大型机的繁荣。其家世:
Moore begat Intel。 Intel begat Mostech; Zilog and Atari。 Mostech begat 6502; and
Zilog begat Z80。 Intel also begat 8800; who begat Altair; and 8086; mother of all PCs。
6502 begat Commodore; who begat PET and 64; and Apple; who begat 2。 (Apple is the
great Mystery; the Fruit that was devoured; yet bloomed again。) Atari begat 800 and 1200;
masters of the game; who were destroyed by Sega and Nintendo。 Xerox begat PARC。
97
Commodore and PARC begat Amiga; creator of fine arts; Apple and PARC begat Lisa; who
begat Macintosh; who begat iMac。 Atari and PARC begat ST; the music maker; who died
and was no more。 Z80 begat Sinclair the dwarf; TRS…80 and CP/M; who begat many
machines; but soon passed from this world。 Altair; Apple and Commodore together begat
Microsoft; the Great Darkness which is called Abomination; Destroyer of the Earth; the
Gates of Hell。
Moore 创造了 Intel。。Intel 创造了 Mostech; Zilog 和 Atari。 Mostech 创造了
6502, 而 Zilog 创造了 Z80。 Intel 同样创造了 8800——Altair 之父; 以及 8086——所
有PC之母。 6502创造了Commodore——PET和64之父; 以及Apple——(Apple)2
之父。(Apple是个真理,另一方面它也是一个贪婪的水果) Atari创造了 800和1200
——最终被 Sega 和 Nintendo 击垮的游戏的先师。 Xerox 创造了 PARC。。Commodore
和PARC创造了Amiga——美术的创造者; Apple和PARC创造了Lisa——Macintosh和
iMac 之父。 Atari 和 PARC 创造了已然逝去的音乐制造者 ST;Z80 创造了小巧的 Sinclair
,TRS…80和CP/M,他们继而创造了很多机器。但是很快这个时代就结束了。
Altair,Apple 和 Commodore 共同创造了 Microsoft 这个可憎的无尽黑暗,灭世者,地狱
之门。
译注:1。begat,除了创造还有……之父的意思,这里并非真的创造,而是强调传承脉络。
2。 Abomination,《圣经》可憎之物的通称,包括仓鼠、猪等等。
3。 Gates,门,同样是比尔盖茨的姓氏。
Now it came to pass in the Age of Microchips that IBM; the greatest of the Mainframe
Corporations; looked upon the young Microchip Systems and was greatly vexed。 And in
their vexation and wrath they smote the earth and created the IBM PC。 The PC was
without sound and colour; crufty and bogacious in great measure; and its likeness was a
tramp; yet the Customers were greatly moved and did purchase the PC in great numbers。
And IBM sought about for an Operating System Provider; for in their haste they had not
created one; nor had they forged a suitably grave and perilous License; saying; 〃First we
will build the market; then we will create a new System; one in our own image; and bound
by our Licence。〃 But they reasoned thus out of pride and not wisdom; not for seeing the
wrath which was to come。
大型机和IBM的时代结束了,这些公司对年青微系统怒目而视。为了还以颜色他们
创造了IBMPC。这个笨重的家伙没有声音和色彩,混沌而自负。尽管如此,还是有很多
消费者购买。IBM在寻找一个操作系统供应商,出于仓卒他们来不及自主开发一个,但
这却不妨碍他们制定险恶的协议:“首先,我们会控制市场。然后再在自家的协议下创

造一个想要的系统。”这不智的决定当然不是因为吸取了教训,而是出于自大。
译注:1。forseeing,原文为forseeing,应为笔误。
And IBM came unto Microsoft; who licensed unto them QDOS; the child of CP/M and
8086。 (8086 was the daughter of Intel; the child of Moore)。 And QDOS grew; and was
named MS…DOS。 And MS…DOS and the PC together waxed mighty; and conquered all
markets; replicating and taking possession thereof; in accordance with Moore's Law。 And
Intel grew terrible and devoured all her children; such that no chip could stand before her。
And Microsoft grew proud and devoured IBM; and this was a great marvel in the land。 All
these things are written in the Books of the Deeds of Microsoft。
IBM 找到了微软,拿到 CP/M 和 8086(8086 是 Intel 之女,摩尔的孩子)之子——
QDOS 的授权。随后他被命名为 MS…DOS,并与 PC 一同征服了市场。然而他们无论复制
还是统辖市场,依旧遵循着摩尔定律。Intel变得同样可怕,在没有任何阻拦的情况下她竟
然吞噬了自己所有的孩子。而成长起来的微软也吞噬了IBM。作为世上的奇迹,这一切被
记录在《圣经》的《微软之书》中。
In the fullness of time MS…DOS begat Windows。 And this is the lineage of Windows:
CP/M begat QDOS。 QDOS begat DOS 1。0。 DOS 1。0 begat DOS 2。0 by way of Unix。 DOS
2。0 begat Windows 3。11 by way of PARC and Macintosh。 IBM and Microsoft begat OS/2;
who begat Windows NT and Warp; the lost OS of lore。 Windows 3。11 begat Windows 95
after triumphing over Macintosh in a mighty Battle of Licences。 Windows NT begat NT 4。0
by way of Windows 95。 NT 4。0 begat NT 5。0; the OS also called Windows 2000; The
Millenium Bug; Doomsday; Armageddon; The End Of All Things。
时机成熟,MS…DOS便创造了Windows,Windows世系:CP/M创造了QDOS。
QDOS 创造了 DOS 1。0。 DOS 1。0 以 Unix 的方式创生了 DOS 2。0。DOS 2。0 以 PARC 和
Macintosh 为依托创造了 Windows 3。11。IBM 和微软创造了 OS/2——Windows NT 和
Warp 之父,最后一个遵从教诲的操作系统。在于 Macintosh 的许可证争斗获胜之后
Windows 3。11 创造了 Windows 95。 Windows NT 有依托 Windows95 创造了 NT 4。0 。
NT 4。0 创造了 NT 5。0,这个操作系统也被称作 Windows 2000。是千年虫,是末日,是哈
米吉多顿,是万物的终结!
译注:1。Armageddon,哈米吉多顿。《圣经》中预言的末世战场,善恶终极交锋于
此。

Now it came to pass that Microsoft had waxed great and mighty among the Microchip
Corporations; mighter than any of the Mainframe Corporations before it had it waxed。 And
Gates heart was hardened; and he swore
