Linus Torvalds has a sense of humour. "Youtube no workee - Fedora 9 not usable for wife." So begins a bug he filed on Fedora's Bugzilla. "I didn't try a lot of videos, but I couldn't find a single one that actually worked. And what's the internet without the rick-roll? Some just show a light gray background, some give the play buttons etc, but show only a black screen even when the red ball at the bottom moves along. Steps to reproduce: 1. Install current Fedora 9; 2. Rick-roll!; 3. No profit!" Thanks to Fefes Blog and dr_evil in #haiku for pointing this one out.

actually I do not feel offended as I simply put it in the context Linus is talking about and thereby understand what he's trying to say. It is unfortunate to get too hung up on words.
German sensitivities and taboos are a PITA, but perhaps I've just been away for too long, and this partly is why. People need to get a life.
