Star The World According to Linus

Linux He doesn't own a mobile phone and he is proud of it. And he thinks virtualization is over-hyped. Find out what else we prize from Linux guru Linus Torvalds. "Linux has done what I wanted it to do for the last fifteen years, literally. So since very early on my motivation actually came from the outside: my motivation came from problems that other people see. I don't see the problems, my usage model is actually fairly simple and it's still the same development model that I tend to concentrate on. So I am actually motivated by other people's issues, and sometimes they make me go 'those people are just crazy, that's just insane', but sometimes the crazy people have some of the most interesting problems too."

Wow. Am I supposed to be insulted by that? Again I'm having an issue understanding the meaning behind your words.

The reason I replied to your post in the first place was because you contradicted yourself numerous times and I had issues understanding the point that your were making. I'm having the same issue now, since you don't really seem to be making one.


He never does. Trust me it's better to ignore him.

I think you are right. I wasn't rtying to be mean, I was just trying to figure out what he was saying but if this is common practice for him then I don't think I'll bother with that person anymore.
