If you're going to be a smartass, at least do it properly.
The only reason I could defend Linus Torvalds is because I worship him.
Only a hero worshipper would believe Linux Torvalds need defending.
I'm not defending him because I believe he needs it, I'm defending him because your comment pissed me off. That you still consider only one possible cause for my comment is cute. Sad, and cute.
More so, that he hasn't innovated is hard fact, just because you made a quip.
Not because I made a quip, but because what he has done has been done by others before him. He has done commendable hard work used by many people, but I don't see the Linux kernel or git as innovation.
I did say that's your problem, not mine, and exactly why. Sorry, but I have to choose between the judgment of someone giving more than 1.000.000 Euros, and a random slashdot poster. I choose the former. Of course, you have the same right.
Go on, please. The only reason I could defend Linus Torvalds is because I worship him. More so, that he hasn't innovated is hard fact, just because you made a quip.
Get bent. Digging deep enough, and being enough of a smartass, nothing is actually innovative. Meanwhile, other people are writing world-class operating systems for the love of the game.
