So, um... Everyone feeling froggy tonight? I'm of the opinion that Linus deserves it much more than Glorious Leader of the People did. But then again, that has nothing to do with Linux either. ------Original Message------ From: Michael Robinson Sender: plug-boun...@lists.pdxlinux.org To: plug@lists.pdxlinux.org ReplyTo: General Linux/UNIX discussion and help;civil and on-topic Subject: [PLUG] Linus Torvalds...

has contributed nothing to world peace. He does not deserve a nobel peace prize. World peace comes from God where Linus if I am not mistaken is an atheist. He is incapable of experiencing world peace. As far as Linux producing world peace, it's use is still very limited in the world. Microsoft still provides the operating system for over 80% of personal computers. Sadly, the 11 or so percent that use Linux in the world are still a minority. Indirectly, Linux may be contributing to important research that will help secure world peace by relieving the world's dependence on OIL for transportation use. The person who would deserve a nobel peace prize though would be the lead physicist/chemist/etcetera using Linux to solve such important problems. If anything, Linus may have created a boost for atheism which threatens world peace. Without God, Man has no solid reason to respect himself or his neighbor. Without God, there is no happiness and no peace. To an atheist, Man is just a machine with no guiding ethic whatsoever. I never want to see an atheist get an award for anything unless he/she leaves the foolish selfish notions of atheism behind. Linus Torvalds is no mother Teresa thank you very much. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
