Torvalds says he and his family will make the move after his children finish school next week. Sayeth Linus: 'The plan was to try to acclimatize and have time to grow webbed feet (although I'm told there are implants available) by moving during the summer.'"

    it's too bad Portland changed so much. I grew up there in the eighties...it was okay. The teachers were nutty and self rightous.(Grant High School ,85)but the kids were mostly pretty cool. When people ask me "why do you get so upset about what some teacher says?" I have to explain how the Seeds of Ignorance get planted by those whom we choose to follow. Critical thought is so rare...don't you think. The culture of "Learned" men have hijacked places like Portland, turning the children into walking talking points. Our parents are to blame for allowing the Anti American element in our school systems to grow over the last three decades. Now the pendulum has swung a bit too far.
    course schedule Fernwood Middle School fall 2004: homosexuality 101,Anal sex...what your parents didn't know,advanced journalism...shaping opinions, social studies:the dollar and why we should hate it,etc...
    I'm gonna say it
    You poor victims in Portland need to take back your city, else leave the liberals a crumbling mess...ask one to hammer a nail or lay a brick. They impune the working class as lazy or uneducated yet we build their places of learning, their homes, churches...etc..Why such contempt? They have piece of paper that says they are smart.
    I'm gonna say it
    I hate ___king liberals!
