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.
Stop being such a dope.
My argument is not about YOU, nor about Linux.
And, I never argued against Linus’ take on the Intel fiasco.
I agree with Linus on how Intel f’d up on the “fix” not being adequate.
And, I never mentioned anything about “sucking” up to Intel or Linux or Linus or anything.
So, again, my argument is about the arrogance of Linus. I agree with him about the Intel fix not addressing the real problem and I also agree that it’s not adequate enough.
Got that?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Let me reiterate. My “grudge” is about Linus’ attitude and arrogance. Even if people think of him as being some kind of tech guru or a tech god, I still thing he’s arrogant and I’m turned off by that.
Now, go and play with your little Linux project and continue worshiping Linus all you want. I don’t care! Got it?!?!?!
