After installing chrome my linux machine's user agent doesn't even register as linux.. Hell it even has the word "safari" in there for some reason so I wouldn't be so quick to claim that linux desktop usage is dropping.
Also if you look at the trend it normally bounces up and down a lot.
Read all that then tell me that Linus has an ego here. It seems to me that Linus is the only level headed guy and you're just trying to distort what really happened.
- He choose CFS over SD because SD behaviour was inconstant among users' computers - Con would argue with people sending him problems rather then accept them as problems with his code - Linus didn't want code in the kernel that would only work well for certain users - Linus didn't want code maintained by someone that was so hostile to others' critique - Linus states that he believes the desktop is an important platform
I didn't realise that windows 95 could compile the linux kernel while playing HD video at the same time with no slow downs. Thanks for your insightful comment.
What a stupid statement. Of course the onus isn't on me. Do I also need to come up with evidence to show Bill Gates doesn't think we still need more then 640KB of ram?
Newsflash for you, people change their opinions all the time.
He was found poisoned by an apple full of cyanide. The UK government had him killed in case he gave away any secrets to soviet Russia. You don't have to be a genius to put two and two together.
So if my computer distributes copyrighted movies without my knowledge then it is also not my fault, am I right? or does the situation change when it's an actual person rather then a faceless company breaking copyright laws?
I'd rather they simply built more power stations and charged more per kWh. Same with ISPs. Charge per GB, advertise better response times and not just higher bandwidth. I'd be all over that.
What's ethical about a vaginal discharge? Either in the petri dish or the panty liner, that eggs not ever going to become a baby.
This issue is simply about telling people what they can and can't do with their own cells. Next you're going to tell me masturbation should be illegal.
Only problem I have with Theora is that encoding from something else to Theora turns out looking like crap. This isn't the codecs fault, it simply looses information however it's a big deal when you're running a video site like YouTube. It means anyone that uploads to your site needs the source material which hasn't already been encoded into some other format such as h264 which unfortunately almost always the case.

Just because some of us have dignity doesn't mean you should lump us in with the likes of you.

It's been fairly well documented but you still seem to ignore the reality of what happened.

Please point out where Linus flamed Con..
Also Linus was right in the end..

There's an RC2 for maverick that is .37 so I doubt it's going to be April.

So you're comparing playing DVDs with compiling to playing HD content while compiling and wondering why performance is so bad?
Big Media would never cave, what would happen is that Big Media would make their own NetFlix. He who holds the copyrights makes the rules.
Linksys' newer routers do IPv6. There isn't a UI for it but if you plug it in it'll work.

It's irrelevant unless you can show that Linus still holds such an opinion today.

That post is over ten years old.
Compiler speed which is one of the features of the language.
If that's happening to you then your distro is doing it wrong.

I can't believe the summary didn't mention the $2000 bounty reward for making an open source driver.

VLC. Their stuff. Their rules. They don't like apple taking their stuff without following their rules. Stop that.
My Samsung 7 Series TV doesn't even support vorbis. :(
or more positively, they'll be able to carry from food aid / supplies in disaster areas.
