Torvalds Gets Tough on Kernel Contributors
ChocLinux writes "Linus Torvalds is cracking down on developers that add last-minute changes to the kernel during the two-week merge window. He says: 'If people miss the merge window or start abusing it with hurried last-minute things that just cause problems for -rc1, I'll just refuse to merge, and laugh in their faces derisively when they whine plaintively at me, and tell them there's going to be a new opening soon enough.'"

Not only that, but his post was modded "Insightful" for an added measure of selfreferential yumminess!

It's not cowardice. It's the alpha male syndrome. Alpha males, in our society, tend to get beat on by authorities for frightening the people around them. This is mostly because bleeding heart liberals think that everyone is special. Even the idiots who challenge an alpha male's authority without having the strength to back it up are, after the subsequent beat-down, given a lollipop and coddled while the alpha male gets disciplined for being such a meany-monster. Some alpha males learn how to be timid and soft-spoken in person so that no one can say they felt physically intimidated.
On e-mail lists there's no possibility of a physical attack so alpha males are free to express themselves fully.
fast as fast can be. you'll never catch me.

Could you define "bad"? Do you mean, "I didn't like it"? 'Cause winning a Harvey and several Eisners is generally a sign of goodness.

For the most of it (and i dont care for being trolled because it proves my point) slashdot is a very bias place to discuss topics, even about slashdot itself! if anything people shouldnt be modding such threads down as flamebait, because it shows how bias slashdot is! but moreso they should be taking what linus is saying on board and start modding threads with a little bit more refinement ...

There are alot of people out here who talk utter crap just to get good karma points whilst others who speak a strong point of view on a particular issue get flamed down for sharing their thoughts
