KernelTrap Interviews Andrea Arcangeli

Posted by timothy on from the not-your-ordinary-attic-dweller dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Andrea Arcangeli completely rewrote the 2.4 Linux kernel virtual memory subsystem several years ago, a surprising event during the evolution of a stable kernel series. A very intelligent 27-year-old from Italy, Andrea spoke with KernelTrap in great detail about the past, present and future of his Linux kernel efforts. An interesting interview ."

    Andrea Arcangeli

    K, I figured this was a girl (Andrea) and thought a last name of "Arch Angel" was, like, way cool and stuff, but figured for sure that was her IRC nick ... was quite shocked when I read the pronoun "his" later in the blurb....

    Look, my eye/mind team quickly forms letters in words into something already known, so getting "Arch Angel" outta Arcangeli is understandable, k?...

    I am prepared to be the receptacle for your modding....

    Seems like such an important fact, that age and sex of the programmer in question just HAD to be mentioned in the story summary ....

      Man.. You don't even have to read the article to know Andrea is MALE. It says it right in the news story with the pronoun 'his'. Is it getting to the point where you just blindly reply?

    That's, errr, kind pathetic. You were fantasizing with your mates over an unknown woman and saying things that must have been rather sexual in nature? Well, that's pretty inmature. But then to be disgusted because Andrea turns out to be a man, is homophobic as well. Let me guess, you're from Texas?

    He knows how to use a telephone. How can he be from Texas?

    I'm guessing he's from North Dakota, where all the women left because the men kept turning down the thermostats.
