Linus Torvalds Promises Profanity Over Linux 3.10-rc5
hypnosec writes "Linus Torvalds has released Linux 3.10-rc5, and he is certainly not happy with the changes merged last week. Rc5 is bigger than rc4 and has code scattered across its entire code base because it addresses many outstanding problems. In the release announcement, Torvalds noted, 'I wish I could say that things are calming down, but I'd be lying. rc5 is noticeably bigger than rc4, both in number of commits and in files changed (although rc4 actually had more lines changed, so there's that).' Torvalds has warned that he is going to start cursing again, and said, 'I'm going to call you guys out on, and try to come up with new ways to insult you, your mother, and your deceased pet hamster.'"

That's right. Instead of cursing in public, Microsoft executives throw furniture...

systemd is Roko's Basilisk.
If he can't manage it without throwing preschool temper-tantrums, turn it over to someone who can.

This is why businesses choose Microsoft.
Until they watch a video of an overweight Ballmer sweating, shouting, cursing, and throwing chairs at his own people.
That's also why many businesses switched to Apple when Steve Jobs was around. Steve Jobs was well known for his saint-like patience and composure with his underlings.
New features belong in the 3.11 branch.
a "workgroup" feature, for example?
I concede that profanity may add humor when used in the right situations, however it in no way gives greater control of a language. The purpose of language is communication. And there is always a more intelligent way to express an idea than dropping the F-bomb.
Fuck you.
Your mother *and* your dead hamster?
But, I thought your mother *was* a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries?
