WTF, please don't talk about things that you don't know about. He wrote a lot of code before he suffered Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. For example, he wrote the original version of GCC and the GNU version of Emacs among other things.
Wha? I think you're confused. You're thinking of Richard Stallman. The guy in question here is Paul Drain, whom I believe suffers from cerebral palsy, if I remember from reading the page this morning.
Paul Drain is in his 20's. Are you saying he coded emacs from his crib?
I thought he (chan) was being humorously sarcastic. Was he serious? (Then now its even funnier.)
