CNN Sits Down With Linus Torvalds
just_another_sean writes "Calling him 'reclusive' and the 'leader of the Open Source Revolution' CNN has an interview with Linus Torvalds. From the article: "I actually only work with a few handfuls so I tend to directly interact with maybe 10 - 20 people and they in turn interact with other people. So depending on how you count, if you count just the core people, 20 -50 people. If you count everybody who's involved; five thousand people -- and you can really put the number anywhere in between... Almost, pretty much all, real work is done over e-mail so it doesn't matter where people are."
Travelling all over the world, I wish I was a hermit!
Linus looks more and more like a penguin as he gets older?
Stallman: I'm going to f***ing kill CNN. It's GNU/Linux damn it!
*Chair goes flying across room*
All it takes to throw the entire open source revolution into chaos and disarray is one well aimed chair-throw.
try { do() || do_not(); } catch (JediException err) { yoda(err); }
The revolution is called Open Source. And its leader? Linus Torvalds
RMS rolls in his... beard.
I have discovered a truly marvelous proof of killer sig, which this margin is too narrow to contain.
KLS: I understand, but let's say your mom or my mom, they're surfing the Internet but maybe they're not surfing with Firefox just yet or they don't really know what Linux is just yet.
This went unchallenged... you would have thought that she would be one of the first people to know about linux (even if she never will understand it and proabably still needs him to install a printer - as all mothers do)

Nice to know he thinks like the rest of us guys.
Holy s-, it's Jesus!
For example I long ago decided I will never go to meetings again because I think face to face meetings are the biggest waste of time you can ever have.
Hi, this is Dan from Human Resources. You probably don't know me, because you were absent from the Workplace Amicable Relationship Promotion Meeting. After meeting with your supervisors, we have come to the decision that we should meet with you RE your attitude toward workplace gatherings.
Not only does your absence from group meetings project the wrong image to the rest of the company, but some employees have taken it as a personal affront. There have been complaints, and many people at the last Work/Life Socialization Meeting have asked us to step in. Is 2:00 PM okay for everyone?
Thanks,
Dan
