Actually, if you read into the arcticle, it states that there was a Golden Orb before the Chrome orb. The Golden Orb had a nasty habit of chipping off peices of the processor die when it cooler was rotated onto the processor.
It sounds to me like Linus was simply stopping some domain speculation on domains that should remain freely usable by the linux community. Domain speculators are the scum of the earth. Why should a person be able make money by selling domains they would never otherwise use. It's wrong.
Yes! That's a great idea! I'd like to see somone pick that idea up. Myself? I'm looking for a 6'3" woman who goes gaga for geeky guys near Appleton, WI hehe.
