    that man has some serious issues. first his run-in with suse. now this.

    using such language shows a lack of vocabulary to express your thoughts.

    disgusting.

    and what's worse is that the audience actually laughs about it. if you think talking like that is funny and acceptable. well - think again. it's not!

    treat other people the way you want to be treated.

    not that ballmer is any better throwing chairs.

    maybe, just maybe, torvalds' behavior is the reason for nvidia to distance themselves.
