    "I had the thrill of a lifetime, hosting dinner for Bill Gates, Linus Torvalds and David Cutler. Linus had never met Bill, and Dave had never met Linus. No major kernel decisions were made, but maybe next dinner 😉" -- Mark Russinovich

    Is that Donald Knuth? If so, "three guys taking a photo with Donald Knuth" might be a better title.

    At this point, I mean, so many people have added to both Windows and Linux that it could be argued that these people didn't even really invent these things. They invented a part of. I also think about grants, funding, and the materials used to make such things. So I guess what I'm saying is fuck both of these old dudes. Computing was going to happen either way. Windows is a military contractor. Windows has killed many poor people. No gods, no masters. Kill your idols.
