  Rob Pike
The comment about archery is also a joke of some sort; Pike is a Canadian citizen who has worked in the U.S. for decades, and both Canada and the U.S. boycotted the 1980 Olympics, so you needn't go looking for the records of that year's Olympics to figure this out.
The rest of his bio appears to be true.

  Rob Pike on the irrelevance of systems research
I confess from the start that I have a very high opinion of Rob Pike, and my reaction to this monolog of his is no exception.

First, this presentation/paper is a call to arms, a goad to create and take risks.

Pike says that much of systems research today is focused on metrics, or as he says, "Performance minutae and bad charts." To this, I say, amen.
Rob Pike is being provocative, of course, but he is also right in many ways.

 Slashdot | Rob Pike Responds
That Rob Pike dismissed the entire question out of hand leaves me with two more possible conclusions to yours: He's pro-IP patents, but is afraid to admit to it on Slashdot, although to be fair he'd *would* get savaged in the comments.
Pike has a few misused patents to his name, and his unwillingness to answer a perfectly valid question is a good indicator of his stance on the issue.
As another poster suggested earlier, Pike really was caught between a rock and a hard place by the question: admit that he supports patents and face the wrath of the slashdot crowd or deny his past stands and expose the duplicity of his current employer.

 "OO Isn't Everything," Says Unix Veteran Rob Pike @ JAVA DEVELOPER'S JOURNAL   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Pike, who now works for Google, Inc., said: "I'm not much of a fan of object-oriented design," though he conceded that the future does indeed seem to have, as he puts it, "an OO hue."
Pike then went on to offer an analogy aimed at exposing the weakness of using only OO methodology in all cases:
Pike accepted that OO design is the way people are taught to think about computing these days: "I guess that's OK - the work does seem to get done, after all - but I wish the view was a little broader."

 Rob Pike's simple Include rule
If instead they state (in comments or implicitly) what files they need to have included first, the problem of deciding which files to include is pushed to the user (programmer) but in a way that's easy to handle and that, by construction, avoids multiple inclusions.

Conjecture: The source of Pike's guideline may not have been addressing C-language per se, but rather external factors, such as the "make" program.
