I heard Linus described as a cat herder. "trying to get a loose knit organization of professionals to write a quality operating system is like trying to herd cats"
RedHat should offer him title with a few mil in stock options. Let'm herd cats full time...
Discovery Channel had a show on microbes that exist at the bottom of the ocean, next to super hot vents. They also took core samples from pretty far down in the earth (technical??, sorry, I don't have the details). These microbes breath iron. He showed a jar of iron and another that the microbes ate. It was a jar of magnetite... They(Discovery ch.) suggested that this microbe could survive in outerspace with a sufficent supply of iron.
...when the mars probe data came back, there was a very small blurb on an excessive amount of magnetism, I beleive I read magnetite. Next probe needs to test for signs of this microbe. Anybody see a picture of the hugh crater on the other side of Mars??? if this microbe needs a carrier, that sucker would've been large enough.
