This struck me as using his daughter as a shield or distraction more than being a loving father . . . it struck me as a weird thing to do under the circumstances."<br /><br />I noticed that as well and I totally agree with the quote above. It is not a so nice thing to have kids distract audiences in a formal speech situation. <br /><br />Richard is more than a architect, he is a philosopher!thinkweirdhttp://thinkweird.infonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5023590240909870844.post-63863444830180323202009-04-21T20:24:00.000+08:002009-04-21T20:24:00.000+08:00Actually, all of those pictures are screen captures from the documentary RevolutionOS. <br /><br />The scenes at the Linux Convention in which Linux and his daughter are on stage with Richard Stallman are particularly odd. Stallman is accepting the Linus Torvalds award on behalf of the GNU Project, and commented that this was like "giving the Han Solo award to the entire Rebel Fleet." In other words, giving to the people who did the groundwork, laid the framework and built the infrastructure an award named after someone who swept in late in the process and contributed in a small, if crucial, way to the victory.<br /><br />Torvalds walked past Stallman and got his daughter while Stallman was speaking, and proceeded to pointedly ignore Stallman. This struck me as using his daughter as a shield or distraction more than being a loving father . . . it struck me as a weird thing to do under the circumstances.<br /><br />To the poster who accused rms of insanity: He may be eccentric, but his contribution to Linux' existence as an operating system is far greater than Torvalds. Despite the name, Linux is the kernel only. The majority of the software came from GNU, and even the license Linus released the Linux kernel under came from Stallman.<br /><br />In RevolutionOS, Torvalds said, "Think of Richard as the architect, and me as the engineer."<br /><br />If the creator of Linux can respect Stallman, why can't you?Woodrobinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04842905272342651362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5023590240909870844.post-11546780762669093202009-04-21T19:10:00.000+08:002009-04-21T19:10:00.000+08:00Bet Bill Gates' kids are emos lol.
