Flagged, why is the "'huge'" gone from the title, turning Linus' statement into nonsense? Without the editing it's still short enough for HN.

Fine, I'll consider anyone who uses "homogenous" a bigot from now on. Is that linguistically acceptable for you? Freaking bigots, arguing about words rather than their bigotry...

When I read comments like yours, I always read "homogeneous" as "ethnically pure", and judge the comment writer accordingly. No debating about the stringent rules, which I'ver read comes from the Samurai times, but

One day the calculation is going to be "do nothing and cook ourselves to death" vs. "Put SO2 in the atmosphere and see what happens next". If the SO2 brings about destruction sooner, I'm of the camp that "well,
