Linus and the future of society
Well, the title is a little bit misleading, but that's what this article is about. And it's interesting too. :)
And while I'm at it (posting links, that is), the discussion over the slashdot poll this week generated very interesting comments. Although slashdot is very U.S.-centric, the slashdot readers aren't. And it's nice to see what they have to say about the differences between various cultures, and how the U.S. see them. Really interesting indeed.
And finally, I've ran into an old Usenet posting telling the story of the beginnings of the Usenet trolls, and how Rob Pike (one of "ye olde UNIX wizards") used Markov chains to make fun of the unknowing posters.
