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?

    I'm afraid Stallman is not eligible for the Peace Prize. He just can't stop murdering people with that darned samurai sword!
