that architects and builders are finding ways to capture this excess body heat on a scale large enough to warm homes and office buildings
If you are in the building, aren't you already warming the building with your body heat, excess or otherwise?

Did Mr. Bloomberg actually say that Steve Jobs was responsible for the increase in theft of personal bling devices?
Because the guy screwed up and tried to make excuses. At his position Linus does not have to put with childish behavior from his staff, he can choose who works with him.
So just let the guy go. Why hang the body from a bridge?

Why drag the body through the streets?
I wish my boss would show the same concern for the quality of our software, and scream at the programmers that break it every day. Unfortunately it doesn't happen...
Sure, it does happen. I have fired programmers who could not do their job. The firing was done in my office with the door closed. I did not post news of the firing on the internal company forums. I did not drag the body through the streets as an example.

Why do you rationalize poor management techniques as an excuse for poor management?
Unless that developer is disposable and you'd like to send a message aux les autres.
If you want to send a message to others, then just take the guy off the project. If the other developers are worth their salt, they will already know the guy is incompetent. There's no need for a public flogging.
Because it is a publicly managed project, the yelling happens in public.
If you want drama and a soap opera, then yes that is how to do it. Do it publicly, make every conflict a drama. Go for the ratings. Maybe that is how Linus keep people interested in following Linux. But, is it the best way?
Each of Microsoft, Apple, and the Linux Kernel are examples of organizations with leaders at their helm that demonstrate the above capabilities.
Please show me examples of Apple's CEO or Microsoft's CEO reaming someone a new asshole on a mailing list. I've not seen one such example. So why are you trying to use Apple and Microsoft to justify Linus' incredibly poor management style?
Yes, let's all play nice. Everyone have a love in. Never hurt anyone's feelings.
That is not what I said. If you want to disagree with what I say, please first read and understand what I say.

I am not opposed to reading someone the riot act. However a public mailing list is not the place to do it.

No matter how secure the OS is, no matter what security apps you are running; I am sure that you will find a way to bypass all that security and suffer an exploit.
HELP!!!! I'm being held prisoner in /usr/games/lib!
