Ah, git. Proof that every genius, despite their genius, can create something horribly wrong and bad.

Yes, Torvalds started something amazing. The operative word is started, and even that is debatable (just ask Stallman). Linux as we know it would be nothing without the countless developers who have contributed to it since then. It's not a one-man show.
I think money better spent would be to give our own developers in this community a Pandora. Or buy them all a beer.

How about we send one to Microsoft? It's been reported that they're looking at developing a version of Windows for ARM. Just think, we could ditch this linux rubbish once and for all if that happened

Genie != genius. What I mean is there would be absolutely no point.
He would probably write a scathing review of it, if anything. He did something great, but that guy's a bastard
:lol: :lol: :lol: This is brilliant. Excellent! That is an excellent speech. "Things are hard. They should be hard. I want to work with people who can handle it when things are hard"
And of course dear old Linus had an Idea, but also, more than that, he did something about it. That is what makes the difference. Or to quote a guy from the games industry that was guest lectruing for our students: "In the games industry, we do not want new ideas. We have ideas by the bucketload. We need people who can actually realize the ideas".
And don't bring Stallman into this. Pleez.
But of course there is no point in sending Linus a Pandora, no more than what it is to send one to Obama or Justin Bieber. Why? If you want to express your gratitude for his work, I do believe that the best you can do is to, like, send the guy an email or something saying "Hi - Like your work, dude!" or words to that effect.
Exophase
Nothing good will ever come of Exophase.
Also, how do we know Linus actually wants a Pandora? Just because it runs Linux (like a bazillion other handhelds and other machines, especially if you count Android) doesn't mean he's interested.
We know so many others desperately do and even if he does actually want one I don't know how he'd feel about having someone else's spot taken so he can get one.

I think he'd much prefer useful source code than hardware based on what he posted here about 4 years ago :blink:

I want to use it to play games, not melt my fingers off. :lol:
