Linus is EVIL
muzzy:
Alright, mr. Torvalds has finally revealed what a bunch of idiot he is:

So, Linus says that the bitkeeper reversing has nothing to do with samba because samba is an actual piece of software that DOES SOMETHING, while reversing a protocol doesn't do anything. NO SHIT, SHERLOCK! If you compare things in completely different domains, obviously they won't have much to do with each others. What does this mean? Nothing at all. How about comparing reversing the BK protocols to reversing the SMB protocols? Oh my, that would just suck now, because the things are actually related!
What the heck is up with this?
WMD:
Torvalds was never that bright outside of raw coding. Either that, or he doesn't care enough. Like a Slashdotter once said:
--- Quote ---Summary of Torvalds Interview
Interviewer: What do you think about [blah]?
Linus: Oh, I don't know. Doesn't really matter. I just like to code.
--- End quote ---
To each his own, but I don't particuarly agree with Linus's belief system, or perhaps, his intentional lack therof.
muzzy:
Indeed. He has some respectable skills in managing code, but it looks like he's a moron. I wonder if he even believes what he's saying, or if he's just being nice towards his friends at BK camp.

I think it's just loyalty to larry.
Calum:
who cares? he's not a celebrity, or he shouldn't be, he's a private citizen and possibly a bit of a geek, so what? none of my business anyway.
