Linus Is A Hero
oever writes "The dutch broadcaster KRO has chosen 365 modern saints or heros. One of them is Linus Torvalds, chosen for his work in on Linux and 'Open Source'. Too bad RMS or Saint Ignuciuis he wasn't chosen, even though he was recommended."
1) Its in Dutch.
2) Babelfish doesn't do Dutch.
3) RMS is a tool.
Could your response have been any more idiotic? Do you use screwdrivers at work? I guess we better make the inventor of the screw driver a hero then. Well actually we should make the guy who invented the tip of the screw driver a hero since metaphoricly speaking that's all Linus did. His contributions pale in comparrsion to those of the rest of the community.
RMS is a froathing at the mouth loon who does more to hurt free software than to help it. And BTW yes I do think my contributions outweigh his however that is irrelevant to the conversation since I'm not nominated in the award. Nor would I think my efforts on this rock make me a hero.
"This isn't the 'List of People Who Respect Others and are Nice To Their Mothers'"
You're joking right? By your definition Sadam is a hero because he's brought some economic relief to his people, nevermind the ones he's killed and tortured.
Just go away, that was the most ridiculous post I have ever read in my life.
