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 😉

This is wholesome and neat. Great share, thanks!

The hood side of me, however, only wants to read how Linus shivv'ed his ass.

Shank is the verb, shiv is the noun.
