I value Linus' contribution to the free software movement and etc... but I am absolutely against turning him into some kind of semi-God. I wouldn't buy his biography as much as I wouldn't buy Bill Gate's biography either... when will Slashdot get more serious ?
I am an avid Slashdot fan for at least a year... and I am used to the Win/Linux "comparisons" popping up from time to time. Fair enough, it's a competitive world. But the fact that a newspaper publishes a whole column revolving around a *hypothesis* that there is code stolen, and bashing Microsoft over a whole A4 page for the supposition that this would happen - that's a bit too much for me. It's not logical, it's not funny and it's a shame for Linuxworld to publish something like that. Go on, flame me!
