9. When Jeff Dean sends an ethernet frame there are no collisions because the competing frames retreat back up into the buffer memory on their source nic.

13. Jeff Dean wrote an O(n^2) algorithm once. It was for the Traveling Salesman Problem.
    Jeff曾无奈写过一次O(n^2)的算法，其解决的问题是旅行商问题。（该问题是NPC的，即计算机中最复杂最难解决的一类问题，许多人相信这些问题是没有多项式时间复杂度的解的）

14. Jeff Dean can beat you at connect four. In three moves.
    Jeff在四子连珠的游戏中能赢你，在三步内

23. Jeff starts his programming sessions with ‘cat > /dev/mem’.
    Jeff在开始编程之前，会做’cat > /dev/mem’。（即把输入的内容直接导到内存中）
