Linus Torvalds is a jackass

Updated: September 15, 2009September 11, 2009

Linus Torvalds is a jackass[1]. Those in doubt can read the LKML archives.

It's really entertaining to read him or Christoph Hellwig slamming someone trying to push a bad patch through.

Book Recommendation:

C++: The Complete Reference covers everything from keywords, syntax, and libraries, to advanced features such as overloading, inheritance, virtual functions, namespaces, templates, and run-time type identification, plus there's a complete description of the Standard Template Library (STL). I found the book incredibly useful even when making really complicated programs because of the fact that it has everything in it. I can't really stress that point enough. Seriously, if you're getting a C++ book you are planning on actually using, you really should get this book.

Random Quote:

How can the Church of England endorse evolution, the bible does not say "In the beginning there were two amino acids that formed a protein". I call shenanigans.
