Linus Torvalds originaly said:
"All of this is pure garbage. Is Intel really planning on making this shit architectural? Has anybody talked to them and told them they are f*cking insane? Please, any Intel engineers here - talk to your managers."
David Woodhouse replied with:
If the alternative was a two-decade product recall and giving everyone free CPUs, I'm not sure it was entirely insane."
The rest is written by Linus, with all further quoted segments being something David Woodhouse wrote.
> "the user interface is horrendous"
The user interface is perfectly clear if you know how to read it.
- kijin 9y agoEven if one were confused as to who said what, the combination of "shit" and "f*cking insane" should have cleared it right up.
- icelancer 9y agoVery true. One could always hope someone took that tone with Linus. That'd be funny.
- Treblemaker 9y agoSomeone did take that tone with him. Granted, it was Linus himself, but still, he is someone and he did it. "In fact, it seems to be such a fundamental bug that I suspect I'm entirely wrong, and full of shit. So it's an interesting and not _obviously_ incorrect theory, but I suspect I must be missing something." [1] And it is funny. And I respect that he is equally blunt when speaking of himself.
