Linus seems more perturbed about the lack of accountability. Own your mistakes, Then fix them. If you can't, then ask for help.

I'm not surprised that the argument is more nuanced than "fb is evil, i'm out". Notch is a smart man, and he loves making games... he just doesn't want an unknown actor influencing his decisions.

I thought I was bad with my media consumption. 5TB of visi media, 3TB of audio, 2TB of um... not porn. I really only back up the audio. Do you really expect to rewatch all of the other stuff? If you did how hard would it be to reacquire?

Agreed. they should age out of the market to open a void for a more capable company. Sparkfun, Makerbot, or Andymark come to mind, or better yet a partnership between all 3.

It should be taught as a tool. Lots of other homework could be made easier/more fun with programming.

I hate it when emerging technophiles try to take on too large of a problem... I hate it even more when they try to garner buzz by taking on two. Might as well 3d print it, give it high powers lazer beams and next gen batteries while you're at it.
