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.'"

Why is this stuff that matters?

If my boss used this tone with me, I would quit the job.
Of course, the people he is talking down to were never hired(or paid)
so they can't even quit.
I guess Linus could follow the likes of Steve Balmer and use colorful words like "kill" "fuckers" and then throw chairs.

RTFA, hey? I'm guessing that's a very clever acronym for "reading the fine article." I hope that's working out for you guys. Being clever, that is.
Is it truly sooooo difficult to write in anything other than geek-code?
Also, I have always admired Linus, but his email persona seems quite different from the soft-spoken, calm and thoughtful guy he presents in live interviews. Some of the stuff he writes on the kernel list makes him look like a dick. Timid in person, but aggressive in email smacks of cowardice and gives me quite a different opinion of him these days...

When their queen mother says something petty, rude, and unprofessional, they immediately go on tirades against who? You guessed it, Microsoft. Totally offtopic, they rant about Ballmer, and *his* behavior. Do you not see how immature this is?
Another example is how someone like Limbaugh immediately retreats back to bashing Clinton when anything negative comes up against Republicans. "Well this is nothing, just look at what Clinton did." Misdirection like this is just sad. Can you not just deal with the current issue? Can you not deal with the notion of disagreeing with this little foriegner that you love so much? Is the suggestion that he is a petty little girl with sand in his vagina and a napoleon complex too much for your socioipathic brain synapses to handle?
...That sounds dangerously close to a standard!
