The Evolution of Linux

Taiko writes: "Kerneltrap.org has posted some of the more interesting messages from a recent kernel mailing list discussion. It started with a post on proper indentation, but turned into something a bit more. There are some posts by Linus and Alan Cox about the nature of design, computer science, Linux development, evolution, and more. Quite interesting and funny."

    But what will happen with the goatse picture? Will it ever evolve? Was it created with a specific design in mind? What will it be like in a decade? So many questions, so few answers.

    I found this quote to be interesting: And don't EVER make the mistake that you can design something better than what you get from ruthless massively parallel trial-and-error with a feedback cycle. That's giving your intelligence _much_ too much credit.

    Quite frankly, Sun is doomed. And it has nothing to do with their engineering practices or their coding style.

    Mr. St. Denis, just ignore the poster above you. He obviously has erectile difficulties, and therefore resorts to a life without sexual pleasure. He's taking it out on you, unfortunately, because he and I both know you have the greatest organ in the universe. Keep up the good work, my good friend Thomas.
