[Tfug] On Tuesday, March 6 -- Binary Rewriting and Automatic Code Compaction of an OSKernel, using Linux as an example (*NOT* MEMBERS ONLY)

[Chris Niswander]

Although if you show up month after month after month,
someone might start asking you to join the Tucson Computer
Society so as to pay club dues that help with the room rent etc.
