    I second the remark about Linus being an asshole.
    I personally hold him responsible for setting
    back the state of computing 10 years by re-inventing things which are already in BSD.

    Furthermore, his refusal to set up a shared source
    repository for Linux is holding back the state
    of Linux.

    Repeat after me, Linus is a fucking asshole.
