Russia Tests World's Largest Non-Nuclear Bomb

mahesh_gharat writes "Russia has tested the "Father of all bombs," a conventional air-delivered explosive that experts say can only be compared with a nuclear weapon in terms of its destructive power.The device is a fuel-air explosive, commonly known as a vacuum bomb, that spreads a high incendiary vapour cloud over a wide area and then ignites it, creating an ultra-sonic shock wave and searing fireball that destroys everything in its wake."

Linus is right

I am with Linus on this one. For the life of me I can't understand what this sucking up to RMS is about. Linus himself does not think GPLv3 is a good thing. So why do people keep adopting it.
Without Linus FOSS is tossed. Not following Linus is dangerous for the survival of FOSS.

Typical Luck

Everytime I buy something it seems that only a month later a cheaper, faster, or larger version will appear. So I find it typical that as soon as an agreement is struck with North Korea, to identify and dismantle their nuclear programs, that in less than a month Russia is displaying a newer, cleaner (no radioactive contamination), and more powerful bomb.

Maybe if enough of us complain, then we'll get $100 store credit.
