Linus Torvalds For Nobel Peace Prize?

Posted by kdawson on from the nice-step-towards-world-domination dept.

An anonymous reader writes "I'm as much of a Linux fanboy as anyone else, but I've never thought of anything in computing as being worth a Nobel Peace Prize. Apparently, there are those who take global collaboration seriously, though..." The suggestion has been bouncing around the Portland Linux community, where Torvalds lives. Is it worthy of wider attention and discussion?

    There are not any Nobel Prizes for the categories of astrology, professional wrestling and economics. Get over it.
