Re:Then eliminate all non-Linus data... (Score 1)

ppsstt... They distribute Linux distribution via bittorrent for a reason. The overwhelming demand at release is fairly massive. BitTorrent does qualify as P2P. This particular case would read FTP server brought to it's kness due to overwhelming demand for an open source software. It just doesn't make for good mainstream news when open source goes P2P. You may see it in IT news sites... but mainstream... never... As far as them feeding their kids... Perhaps they should get a job that attempts to better society. To U2's credit they do seem to give back a little piece... But "artists" unlike Linus don't contribute significantly to the betterment of society. The Open Source community has helped to drive the cost of computers down by providing lower cost computers. This then allows greater access for people to reach the internet and perhaps improve themselves by learning more. The Open Source community is trying to help others in their own little way. Society needs alot LESS "artists" and alot more Teachers, Engineers, IT folks, Programmers and Scientists.
