I know I'm nit-picking, but this always bothers me.
China will probably get Most Favored Nation status, but this doesn't make them special in any way. All it means is we don't impose as heavy tariffs on their goods.
Almost every country in the world has Most Favored Nation Status. The few exceptions are our avowed enemies like Cuba and North Korea (although one can certainly argue that China belongs in that category).
As a budding linux user, the thing that bothers me most is how poorly laid out man pages are. Instead of putting the most commonly used options at the top, they're in alphabetical order, requiring one to page through fifty options to find the one you're looking for. And where are the examples?!? The easiest way to see what a command does is by example, rather than trying to interpret all the []'s, ()'s, and 's that attempt to say which options go where.
What if the choice was between a programmer and a watch repairman. The watch repairman may not be as intelligent, but I'd trust his hands a lot more than somebody whose most dexterous act is typing. Intelligence is the necessarily the end-all be-all of talents.

Yep, poor Linus...
It's really a shame how we bastardly Americans discriminate against Scandanavians...
