What would you have him do, suck up to Intel?

Oh, my! Are you so offended that you have to take it so personally?

However, if you were to lose your delicate side for a moment, you might want to re-read my earlier posts, and you just might be smart enough to notice that I wasn't defending or taking Intel's side on anything. My argument was simply about the arrogance of Mr. Linus.

It sounds like you’re making it a pride thing.

What the heck are you talking about? Pride about what? Stop imagining things that are nowhere to be found.

In the meantime whenever someone on one of the still majority but way less than 99% of PCs

Oh, wow! You got me in a lie. Okay then, 98%?

BTW, that includes Intel and AMD processors. Linux works on Intel and AMD processors. Are you happy now???

does as little as a Google search,

Google search? I've heard of that before. Can you clue me in, if you don't mind?

they’ve leaned on “Linux.”

"Leaned" on Linux? Is that like some kind of wall or something?

Check your own arrogance at the door.

I don't see a door, do you??? I don't see any arrogance either. Perhaps you need to stop making things up.

Ask not for whom the bell tolls.

Okay, I've got a different one from history. "Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country". We're even now, okay?

It tolls for thee.

I don't even get on toll roads, so, you must have me mistaken for somebody else. ;)

BTW, "thee"??? You must be some kind of literary genius. ;)

Now, stop feeling so upset, and get a life.

BTW, I'm not arguing against LINUX. I was simply arguing against the arrogance of Linus. Get the difference? NO??? Well then, you are hopeless.

What about “suck up to Intel” is even possibly personal to me. It would hurt all techdom. I’m sure Linus will explain “why” but I am very inclined to believe his take on it as correct about it being abysmal — just on the basis of his expertise. Intel is being all commercial about it. Why can’t a system be more flexible than this. Any application should be able to muffle the channels. Such as a web browser running a web page asking for it. And nothing but that application should be able to unmuffle them.

Please explain how this whole screed of yours isn’t personal to YOU, projecting on me. If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is not a goose.
