The story boils to this:

There was a ``startup'' called InstallMonetizer which added crapware/spyware into installers of other programs.  Even when turned off, it still spied on the user and phoned home.  This ``startup'' came to Y Combinator to seek funding, and was eventually granted quite a sum for its endeavors.

Paul Graham, when confronted by nerds, explained that what this ``InstallMonetizer'' were developing was not crapware but rather a helpful free option for users who may or may not desire said crapware on their PCs, and thus it cannot be seen as a transport for malware.

Tl;dr Paul Graham turned out to be a sell-out who values his reputation very cheaply.  Or a troll.

Paul Graham is bad ass.

here is a story about malware hacker, who used Scheme for everything:

for that I used tinyScheme, which is a BSD licensed, very small, very fast implementation of Scheme that can be compiled down into about a 20K executable if you know what you’re doing.
