You try to claim that the GPLv3 causes 'More developers', and that, my idiotic penpal, is just crazy talk that you made up.

Personally, I'm not interested in making device drivers look like user-level. They aren't, they shouldn't be, and microkernels are just stupid.

Your code is shit.. your argument is shit.

Once you realize that documentation should be laughed at, peed upon, put on fire, and just ridiculed in general, THEN, and only then, have you reached the level where you can safely read it and try to use it to actually implement a driver.

Your problem has nothing to do with git, and everything to do with emacs. And then you have the gall to talk about 'Unix design' and not gumming programs together, when you yourself use the most gummed-up piece of absolute sh*t there is!

I wish everybody was as nice as I am.

In short: just say NO TO DRUGS, and maybe you won't end up like the Hurd people.

Yeah. And as Linus once said: most numerical problems today in pure CPU cycles are actually 3D games. … It's not 'incorrect' to say that you want the result faster, even if that result doesn't match your theoretical models.

If you still don't like it, that's OK: that's why I'm boss. I simply know better than you do.

I like offending people, because I think people who get offended should be offended.

I don't ask for money. I don't ask for sexual favors. I don't ask for access to the hardware you design and sell. I just ask for the thing I gave you: source code that I can use myself.

Oh fuck. If I kill this guy, I'll have millions of nerds on my case.

…the Linux philosophy is 'laugh in the face of danger'. Oops. Wrong one. 'Do it yourself'. That's it.

People say that you should not micro-optimize. But if what you love is micro-optimization... that's what you should do.

It's what I call 'mental masturbation', when you engage is some pointless intellectual exercise that has no possible meaning.

A lot of people still like Solaris, but I'm in active competition with them, and so I hope they die.

The main reason there are no raw devices in Linux is that I personally think that raw devices are a stupid idea.

Modern PCs are horrible. ACPI is a complete design disaster in every way. But we're kind of stuck with it. If any Intel people are listening to this and you had anything to do with ACPI, shoot yourself now, before you reproduce.
