The article pretty much assumes you read Darl McBride's letter, that's why you were given a link to it. Taken in that context, Linus' article is pretty clear.
I fled from Evolution as soon as I found out about Thunderbird. Evolution is hideously bloated, hard to customize, and it's IMAP support is braindead...I couldn't create or subscribe to folders served by courier-imapd, and telnetting to port 143 to do the mods by hand was getting very, very old.
Thunderbird is a far superior mail client, the only thing I miss about Evolution is the nifty gray-and-white message lists that look, well, more cool than Thunderbird's!
I love de_dust because it's fast and that keeps me interested in playing...sure, the CT's can get to the tunnel faster, but I've never seen that stop a talented T team. Either way, it's easy to fix it by slightly modifying the "real life" map to make the T run a little shorter.
And if you don't like running that much, well...time to save up and buy the AWP:)
That reminds me of the movie "PCU", where the protagonists get hundreds of people to come to a party by adding "Everyone Gets Laid" to the ad...without mentioning that that's the name of the band.
This is good news, in my opinion. Pointless fights over a product name don't help the cause...call it Mozilla B for all I care, it's still going to be the browser I use.

Most people seem to think this means they think free software "enables" people to do things (with it.)
My take on this is the following: they're concerned with funding a project mostly developed by...whoever wishes to develop it. It's hard for a government agency to justify funding a project that employs people from all over the world when we're in a paranoid state of mind and seeing terrorists under every bed (hey, it was communists a few decades ago...and that even rhymes with terrorists!)
I wouldn't be surprised to see the DOD fund their own internal use branch of an open source OS, exclusively developed by a tightly knit group of security-cleared people (and effectively making the branch closed source.)
It's not so much about who'll use the software...it's more about who'll have their hands in developing it. A pretty stupid way of looking at a system that everyone gets a chance to proofread and debug, but no one has ever accused the military of being smart.
I remember Burt Rutan's name from a National Geographic from the 80s...this guy made himself a name in the airplane design field for coming out with some really good stuff...among other things, he designed a kit plane that's impossible to stall. I'd like to see how serious he is about this one...because he's not exactly a designer you can laugh at too hard:)
I agree...I've been using NEC monitors exclusively for the past few years, and am very happy with them. I'm using an AccuSync AS90 right now, and will definitely consider them first when I next upgrade...and only switch brands if there's a really good reason for it...I guess it's a rather naive way of going about it, but it's worked very well for me.

This is the scariest news I've heard in a long time...brainwashing kids from an early age into loving the good ole RIAA.
Step 1, redefine "market share" by chopping off any sectors that don't use your product. Step 3, profit!

Storm the front!

They forgot to list my favorite embedded Linux device :( Beowulf clusters of atomic supermen!
I'd like to see a speed demo for this sweet baby http://www.adom.de/ =b Now that would require some skill.
EverQuest, hands down.
If they name it "Bob", they'll have the evil empire itself on their case. Shiver.

The Chewbacca Defense should do the trick...look at the silly monkey!
