At about 0:49:00 Linus answers to the problem that people send him patches that don’t get even looked at. Look at the new answer too with Linus talking about git which solves this problem – search Linus git.

Neat, a co-worker of mine wrote part of the smp programming for the kernel.
Ughh, disk drivers.. hate them T_T
Ok. Yeah YouTube realy needs to work on the bugs in the comment’s system.
hey mate, sorry you misunderstood. I dont know why my comment was on top. I do use linux and i know there are antivirus software. I just want to tell to jonah1976 on next page.
I use ClamAV. I am dedicated user of linux for 4+ years.
Ther is Virus Scanning software for Linux.
Although as there is so few viruses for Linux its mostly used to scan for Windows Viruses.
Inside ex. E-Mails or remote scans of a Windows box.
if there is no scanning software, how can you be sure there is no virus. LOL.
lol linus is so BUFF Hahaha
REMINDER TO IDIOTS THAT THINK PC MEANS WINDOWS:
PC means persna computer.. not “Windpws” :-/
so why is linus a sellout i dont get someone fill me on the info please thanks:>
It’s incredible, that he was messing around on computers, and ended up producing the Linux system that I am watching this video with, and also writing this comment with !
Thanks Linus, for helping me escape the grip of Micro$oft
when he says PC he means his Personal COmputer not “mac users thinking” of “Windows” !
PC as in PERSONAL COMPUTER
7+ years for me
10 if you discount the short bout with win98 in ’01.
Mom and sister have been using it exclusively for about 1 and 3 years, respectively
The “September 19, 2001″ at the beginning didn’t tip you off?
Can we assume this is rather old (2001?!) since he refers to “10 years” a lot and the fact that SMP/clustering is not really important.
haha, burn!
But you use windows.. So :/
NERD PRIDE!
