Torvalds brands Digg users 'W*nking Walruses' Linus Torvalds used his latest missive to the Linux Kernel mailing list to have a go at innocent Digg users - all in the name of getting the email more widely read, of course. At the end of the message detailing merge requests, Torvalds wrote: "PS. And to get wider distribution for this message: Digg users - you're all a bunch …
The Spam King and associates, perhaps? They already have the ability to get Linus' message, whatever it is, to the mailbox of millions... so:
Spammers are all Onanistic Onagers?
With the inverted icon to that suggested by Naich, because they're a bunch of backward onanists at best.
why linux isnt taken seriously enough to be a threat to Windows/OS X
When the rest of the business world they run the opposite direction with thoughts like ::
"If i trust the operation of my business to linux, and this little upstart has another hissy fit at some stage and does something because he 'wants to' (foot stamping) then will i be left f$%ked"
Real professional Linus.. real good. You showed them. Sink below everyone first. Winner!!!!
I have to agree. And the Linux old-schoolers ask rhetorically "Why is it Shuttleworth that gets to talk to Dell and Intel and is getting all the business mag column inches?"
Why indeed.
Linus doesn't seem to understand the responsibilities that come with his position. Either that or he doesn't care. Fortunately for Linux, its developer community and user base are large enough that Linus' "idiosyncrasies" matter little.

Absolutely. Linus needs to develop some of the basic social skills required for a successful professional in the IT world if anyone is to take Linux seriously.
Perhaps he should start by practicing chair-hurling and screaming death threats at Google. That's the way market *winners* behave. No alliteration. No attempt at humour. Just obscenities and unchained agression.
Walruses are tame compared to BillG and other microsoft employee emails. MS is now careful to destroy internal email promptly to avoid embarrassment.

AFAIK, Linus and Theo have never thrown furniture at people. With that in mind, which operating system has the most professional looking leader?
No no, for GNU you'd have to pick some tossy recursive acronym, like say :
XIAAS Is An Ass Spelunker
That breaks backward compatibility with alliteration (which is deprecated), but it might be fixed in a later version, if anyone can be bothered.

Linus ever tried. Tove is a six time Karate champion for Finland which means among other things that she can kill you faster than you can see. If anybody is going to die in that household it will be Linus hopefully no such deaths will occur. As for Digg wanking walruses is pretty tame most of them deserve a good beating maybe he'll sic Tove on them.
Ahh - if only there was a place be a child again .....
Oh, here it is : El Reg. Thank you for the environment to errrr 'express' ourselves !
Now as to Linus : did he ever think that Linux would be so big ? IMHO Linux was better when people didn't try to make is like m$. Maybe he feels the same way ? Prehaps the guy is caught up in it all, and can't make time for himself ?
Here's a few (childish) acronyms :-
BROWN : bullshitting retard overrated when new ...
BLAIR : basically lost any innovation recently ...
MICROSOFT : many interchangeable components of regurgitated obfuscated shitware offered for twits
MAC : micro$oftoffice available completely ?? (;-P !!!)
LINUX : long-term integrating new users eXtensively
SCO : skullduggery compulsory objective
SUN : seeks unknown nervana ?
PRESCOTT : paraiah, regularly egged so coverered over then trashed
DARLING : delerious arrogant requires locking in neverending grief
LABOUR : low accountability bringing obvious unpopularity ratings !
ahh thanks for indulging me !
paris cos only she could post airhead crap like this !
"If i trust the operation of my business to linux, and this little upstart has another hissy fit at some stage and does something because he 'wants to' (foot stamping) then will i be left f$%ked"
True enough, although you and several million others will be left holding a copy of the source code of the system that you trusted, and some of you might be willing and able to maintain it. Whereas, if MS decide that the next version of Windows will break all your apps, like the last one, you just have to pick up the phone to BillG and tell him not to.
Yes, Linux will never break through to corporate acceptance, because smart folks with MBAs just can't understand the notion of "software that they have some control over". They're convinced that they have to just trust someone, and then they look around for someone in a suit who they can trust.
