    Sorry if it's a repost. :) Clickety[^]

    The question on the lips of everyone in the Linux community is, "What if Linus Torvalds (affectionately known to the trade press as 'Linux Torvalds') gets hit by a bus?" Reams of virtual paper have been wasted on idle speculation about the results of what is a fairly simple experiment. We decided it was high time someone actually took the trouble to find out what would happen if Linus Torvalds were to get hit by a bus. Our preliminary findings are printed below; we hope that this study will eventually be published in peer-reviewed Linux publications such as Linux Journal and Slashdot. Well, Linux Journal.

    Cheers, Vikram.

      Made me smile :) I still remember having to write your own code in FORTRAN rather than be a cut and paste merchant being pampered by colour coded Intellisense - ahh proper programming - those were the days :)

              Does that mean the bus was running Windows?:-D


              Overheard in clients: Question: "So country music doesn't make you want to get down and boogie?" Response: "No, it makes me want to clean off the bottom of my shoe." I just have to say that's about one of the best statements regarding country music I've ever heard. :cool: Welcome to CP in your language. Post the unicode version in My CP Blog[^] now.

                Good to see you back Kannan. :) How's life? It's not a holiday here. I suppose it's a holiday only in AP, KN and MH. We have a holiday on Apr 14, though. Which reminds me - I'll be in Cbe from Apr 8 - 15. So if by any chance you're there, do give me a call. I suppose you still have my number? Has your number changed? Cheers, Vikram.

                  > find out what would happen if Linus Torvalds were to get hit by a bus I guess the best way to do that is to actually hit the guy with a bus and observe the results? :rolleyes:
