Werbung in RSS?!?
So, das war’s also für den RSS-Feed des Christian Science Monitor.
Haben die doch tatsächlich Werbung eingebaut: 
Auch wenn sie für einen super Film werben: Sofort abbestellen!
Linus Torvalds: Ich gebe es ja zu!
Das Alexis de Tocqueville Institut will heraus gefunden haben, dass Linux nicht von Linus Torvalds entwickelt worden sei! Dessen Antwort in LinuxWorld:
“Ok, I admit it. I was just a front-man for the real fathers of Linux, the Tooth Fairy and Santa Claus.”
Thus begins a characteristically Torvaldsian e-mail to LinuxWorld News Desk sent by Linus Torvalds in response to our invitation to comment on the sensationalist claims this morning that he isn’t, after all, the inventor of Linux.
“They (for obvious reasons) couldn’t step forward to admit that they had gotten bitten by the computer bug, and had been developing a series of operating systems on their own during the off season. But when they started with Linux (which they originally called Freax – they do feel like outsiders, you know, and that’s a whole sad story in itself), they felt that they could no longer just let it languish in obscurity. They started to look for a front-man, and since Santa Claus is from Finland and thus has connections to Helsinki University, and the tooth fairy claimed ‘He’s got good strong teeth,’ I got selected.”
“Since then,” Torvalds continues, “I’ve lived a life of subterfuge, always afraid that somebody would find out the truth. I’m actually relieved that it’s over, and that the Alexis de Tocqueville Institute has finally uncovered the lie. I can now go back to my chosen profession, the exploration of the fascinating mating dance of the common newt.”
