Before It Was Popular?

I remember when I heard about DieHard, the probabilistic memory-safety contrivance, at a talk at NEPLS; that was in 2005, so their PLDI paper wouldn't have existed yet.

And then today I see them get name-checked on hack-a-day — perhaps because they've taken to promoting it as a way to increase the security of the popular web browser Firefox.

Go figure.
