For some value of "never," anyway.

So don't use an e-mail filter, Linus. Change how you think about other people. Yes, they are utter and complete morons. But that doesn't mean they can't be useful tools, and that dumping them in the trash is giving you the most you can get from them.

A bad manager blames his resources for poor results. A good manager finds ways to use flawed resources. A great manager finds ways to improve them. I've worked for all three types. It looks like Linus has decided to go from Type II to Type II. Good for him -- he's been a very good model already on how to handle the mechanics of producing quality software, but active cultivation is the next step up. Personal note: Linus' youngest is now 18 and I presume headed away from home. Funny how being the parent of adult children can change you (/me looks over shoulders ...)

You're halfway right.

You have weird fantasies.

For some people, persecution fantasies are as close as they can get to being important. Be nice to them.

It was a good run...

And about to get better. Linus has been in denial for the last 20 years as to what his job is. However good he is as a cowboy coder, his essential role is management, and that requires people skills. Which he admits to needing improvement. Apparently some disapprove of his judgment on that front.

named 'Glendower?'

/etc/portage/package.use is your friend.

Nope. Never bothered with systemd. Can't really claim foresight, just never felt like rebuilding all that plumbing.

Someone may try rig the election so I'm not going to bother going to vote? Who's brain works like this?

Someone who wasn't going to vote anyway, but this makes a better excuse than "Luke Cage is on."

I would have figured Win98 or maybe WinME.

Now that Oracle has figured out how to keep anyone from doing this without paying them, how much will they charge?

Lesbians have the lowest STD rates of any adult demographic.

How much leverage is the Pentagon going to have at budget time by telling the public, "Support Our Troops" when those troops don't bleed anything but hydraulic fluid?

Why does that matter? The point is, she didn't ask.

If the party who would have given permission was one of her subordinates, how would that work?

Who would be in charge of the panel?
