Humor 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.

Torvalds GETS a sense of humor?

As far as I can tell, Linus Torvalds has ALWAYS had a sense of humo(u)r.

check http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.18 if you don't believe me; that kernel was released on 'talk like a pirate day'

And then there's his quote (at some point) about Linux doing infinite loops even faster than the competition...

And so on, and so on.
