Linus Benedict Torvalds (Swedish: [ˈliːn.ɵs ˈtuːr.valds] ( ); born December 28, 1969) is a Finnish American[2][4] software engineer, who was the principal force behind the development of the Linux kernel. He later became the chief architect of the Linux kernel, and now acts as the project's coordinator. He also created the revision control system Git as well as the diving log software Subsurface. He was honored, along with Shinya Yamanaka, with the 2012 Millennium Technology Prize by the Technology Academy Finland "in recognition of his creation of a new open source operating system for computers leading to the widely used Linux kernel".[5]
Early years[edit]
Torvalds was born in Helsinki, Finland. He is the son of journalists Anna and Nils Torvalds,[6] and the grandson of poet Ole Torvalds. Both of his parents were campus radicals at the University of Helsinki in the 1960s. His family belongs to the Swedish-speaking minority (5.5% of Finland's population). Torvalds was named after Linus Pauling, the Nobel Prize–winning American chemist, although in the book Rebel Code: Linux and the Open Source Revolution, Torvalds is quoted as saying, "I think I was named equally for Linus the Peanuts cartoon character", noting that this makes him half "Nobel-prize-winning chemist" and half "blanket-carrying cartoon character".[7]
Torvalds attended the University of Helsinki between 1988 and 1996, graduating with a master's degree in computer science from NODES research group.[8] His academic career was interrupted after his first year of study when he joined the Finnish Army, selecting the 11-month officer training program to fulfill the mandatory military service of Finland. In the army he held the rank of second lieutenant, with the role of a ballistic calculation officer.[9] In 1990, he resumed his university studies, and was exposed to UNIX for the first time, in the form of a DEC MicroVAX running ULTRIX.[10] His M.Sc. thesis was titled Linux: A Portable Operating System.[11]
His interest in computers began with a Commodore VIC-20.[12] After the VIC-20 he purchased a Sinclair QL, which he modified extensively, especially its operating system. He programmed an assembly language and a text editor for the QL, as well as a few games.[13][14] He is known to have written a Pac-Man clone named Cool Man. On January 5, 1991[15] he purchased an Intel 80386-based IBM PC[16] before receiving his MINIX copy, which in turn enabled him to begin work on Linux.[7][17]
Later years[edit]
After a visit to Transmeta in late 1996,[3] Torvalds accepted a position at the company in California, where he would work from February 1997 until June 2003. He then moved to the Open Source Development Labs, which has since merged with the Free Standards Group to become the Linux Foundation, under whose auspices he continues to work. In June 2004, Torvalds and his family moved to Portland, Oregon, to be closer to the OSDL's Beaverton, Oregon–based headquarters.
From 1997 to 1999 he was involved in 86open helping to choose the standard binary format for Linux and Unix. In 1999 he was named by the MIT Technology Review TR100 as one of the top 100 innovators, under the age of 35, in the world.[18]
In 1999 Red Hat and VA Linux, both leading developers of Linux-based software, presented Torvalds with stock options in gratitude for his creation.[19] That same year both companies went public and Torvalds' share value temporarily shot up to roughly $20 million.[20][21]
His personal mascot is a penguin nicknamed Tux,[22] which has been widely adopted by the Linux community as the mascot of the Linux kernel.[23]
Although Torvalds believes "open source is the only right way to do software", he also has said that he uses the "best tool for the job", even if that includes proprietary software.[24] He was criticized for his use and alleged advocacy of the proprietary BitKeeper software for version control in the Linux kernel. Torvalds subsequently wrote a free-software replacement for BitKeeper called Git.
In 2008 Torvalds stated that he used the Fedora distribution of Linux because it had fairly good support for the PowerPC processor architecture, which he had favoured at the time.[25] His usage of Fedora was confirmed in a later 2012 interview.[26]
Currently, the Linux Foundation sponsors Torvalds so he can work full-time on improving Linux.[27]
The Linus/Linux connection[edit]
Initially, Torvalds wanted to call the kernel he developed Freax (a combination of "free", "freak", and the letter X to indicate that it is a Unix-like system), but his friend Ari Lemmke, who administered the FTP server where the kernel was first hosted for download, named Torvalds' directory linux.[28]
Authority and trademark[edit]
As of 2006, approximately two percent of the Linux kernel was written by Torvalds himself.[21] Because thousands have contributed to the Linux kernel, this percentage is one of the largest contributions to it. However, he stated in 2012 that his own personal contribution is mostly merging code written by others, with little programming.[29] Torvalds retains the highest authority to decide which new code is incorporated into the standard Linux kernel.[30]
Torvalds owns the "Linux" trademark and monitors the use of it,[31] chiefly through the Linux Mark Institute.
Personal life[edit]
Linus Torvalds is married to Tove Torvalds (née Monni)—a six-time Finnish national karate champion—whom he first met in the autumn of 1993.[32] Torvalds was running introductory computer laboratory exercises for students and instructed the course attendants to send him an e-mail as a test, to which Tove responded with an e-mail asking for a date.[7] Tove and Linus were later married and have three daughters, Patricia Miranda (born 1996), Daniela Yolanda (born 1998), and Celeste Amanda (born 2000),[33] two of whom were born in the United States.[4] The Linux kernel's reboot system call accepts their dates of birth (written in hexadecimal) as magic values.[34][35]
Torvalds describes himself as "completely a-religious—atheist", adding that "I find that people seem to think religion brings morals and appreciation of nature. I actually think it detracts from both. It gives people the excuse to say, 'Oh, nature was just created,' and so the act of creation is seen to be something miraculous. I appreciate the fact that, 'Wow, it's incredible that something like this could have happened in the first place.'" He later added that while in Europe religion is mostly a personal issue, in America it has become very politicized. When discussing the issue of church and state separation, Torvalds also said, "Yeah, it's kind of ironic that in many European countries, there is actually a kind of legal binding between the state and the state religion."[36]
In 2010, Torvalds became a United States citizen and registered to vote in the United States; he is unaffiliated with any U.S. political party, saying, "I have way too much personal pride to want to be associated with any of them, quite frankly."[4]
Internet Hall of Fame[edit]
On April 23, 2012 at Internet Society's Global INET conference in Geneva, Switzerland, Torvalds was one of the inaugural inductees into the Internet Hall of Fame, one of ten in the Innovators category and thirty-three overall inductees.[37]
Millennium Technology Prize[edit]
On April 20, 2012, Torvalds was declared one of two winners of that year's Millennium Technology Prize,[38] together with Shinya Yamanaka[39] for what is widely described as the equivalent of the Nobel Prize in the technology field.
In 1997, Torvalds received his Master degree (Laudatur Grade) from Department of Computer Science, University of Helsinki. Two years later he received honorary doctor status at Stockholm University, and in 2000 he received the same honor from his alma mater.[40] University of Helsinki has named an auditorium after Torvalds and his computer is on display at the Department of Computer Science.
In August 2005, Torvalds received the Vollum Award from Reed College.[41]
In 1998 Torvalds received an EFF Pioneer Award.[42] In 2000 he was awarded the Lovelace Medal from the British Computer Society.[43] In 2001, he shared the Takeda Award for Social/Economic Well-Being with Richard Stallman and Ken Sakamura. In 2008, he was inducted into the Hall of Fellows of the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, California.[44][45] He was awarded the C&C Prize by the NEC Corporation in 2010 for "contributions to the advancement of the information technology industry, education, research, and the improvement of our lives".[46]
Time magazine has recognized Torvalds multiple times:
- In 2000, he was 17th in their Time 100: The Most Important People of the Century Poll.[47]
- In 2004, he was named one of the most influential people in the world[48]
- In 2006, the magazine's Europe edition named him one of the revolutionary heroes of the past 60 years.[19]
InfoWorld presented him with the 2000 Award for Industry Achievement.[49] In 2005 Torvalds appeared as one of "the best managers" in a survey by BusinessWeek.[50] In 2006, Business 2.0 magazine named him one of "10 people who don't matter" because the growth of Linux has shrunk Torvalds' individual impact.[51]
In summer 2004, viewers of YLE (the Finnish Broadcasting Company) placed Torvalds 16th in the network's 100 Greatest Finns. In 2010, as part of a series called The Britannica Guide to the World's Most Influential People, Torvalds was listed among The 100 Most Influential Inventors of All Time (ISBN 9781615300037).[52]
In 1996, an asteroid (9793 Torvalds) was named after him. In 2003, the naming of an asteroid moon (Linus) was motivated in part by the fact that the discoverer was an enthusiastic user of Linux.
As of March 2011, Torvalds has been granted 35 patents worldwide (application and granted patents).[53]
Desktop environment criticism[edit]
Torvalds also commented in 2005 on the official GNOME developmental mailing lists that he encouraged users to switch to K Desktop Environment 3 rather than use GNOME.[54][55] However, Torvalds thought KDE Plasma Desktop 4.0 was a "disaster" because of its lack of maturity, and so he had switched to GNOME by 2009.[56] Dissatisfied with his perceived loss of productivity, he switched to XFCE after the GNOME 3 release, making another harsh post against GNOME.[57] After improved KDE versions were made, he switched back to KDE Plasma Desktop 4[58] but soon switched back to GNOME 3 stating that "it has been getting less painful"[59] with Frippery and gnome-tweak-tool which he suggested to be merged into GNOME.[60]
Possible NSA approach[edit]
In September 2013, Torvalds was asked at the LinuxCon conference whether he was approached by a government agency to add backdoors into GNU/Linux, he responded with a verbal "no" while nodding his head "yes".[61]

all u dudes are fucking idiots. shit has never had anything to do with buzz if no good record is made. gucci doesnt have it in him. whatever its the hollerboard not the place to be talking about street rap trends.
basically there were only like 2 dudes who said they liked his music & it was all borderline-racist stuff about how funny & stupid he was & how he needed to do a rap version of 'trapped in the closet', the rest of it was a bunch of folks saying they didnt get it & didnt think he had any buzz
but now its been deleted RIP

Argh actually I felt I kind of stuffed that slightly. The time pressures are such that if you don't get out what you're wanting to say immediately you don't get another chance to say it properly. But I was pleased to be able to promote the piece.
I feel like the last show in particular was really good but it isn't online yet.

During this lenght of time I've had to replace brake pads, have the radiator flushed, freon replaced in the AC. I got riped off once by a Ford mechanic who claimed to have repaired my AC. It ran cool for one day...by the next day it rain hot. They never returned my money when I complained. Yet they advertised professional and curtious workmanship with satisfaction guaranteed. I never saw this kind of service produced from them. I'm happy with my aerostar. I can't understand why they stoped making them.

One-Pot Dinner: Chicken and Barley StewIt could scarcely be any easier. Get a parsnip, a carrot, a leek, and a stick of celery out of the fridge, peel the parsnip and carrot, and finely slice everything. Place them in a Dutch oven and add 4 chicken thighs, a tsp. each of dried thyme, Dijon mustard, and kosher salt, 2 bay leaves, a grinding of black pepper, and half a cup of pearl barley. Add about 5 cups of cold water to submerge everything. Cover, bring to a boil, then turn down the heat and simmer 40 minutes. The chicken should be cooked after 30, but it will be easier to shred by 40. Transfer the thighs to a cutting board, remove the skin, take the meat off the bones, shred it, and drop it back in the pot. If you can, leave the stew uncovered for about 10 minutes before serving. I love this scattered with fresh dill, but parsley is also good. From the March 2012 issue of O, The Oprah Magazine

The opera Dido and Aeneas, previously planned to be performed at Black Hills State University March 19 and 20, has been rescheduled to April 23 and 24.
This short opera by Henry Purcell is one of the few English operas to be composed before 1900. The work, based on Greek characters during the Trojan Wars, is a tragic love story. The opera will be performed at 7:30 p.m. in Clare and Josef Meier Recital Hall on the BHSU campus. Donations will be accepted to support the Johanna Meier Opera Theater Institute held each summer on the BHSU campus.
The opera is directed by senior music/theater major Tyler Raad, who will also play the role of Aeneas. The role of Dido will be played by Ashton Vandenhoek. Christopher Hahn, instructor of music, will conduct the instrumental ensemble. The operatic soprano Johanna Meier will provide a brief introduction to the opera. A reception will follow the performance hosted by the Friends of Opera.

Gaudi design proposed for WTC
2 posts

Gaudi design proposed for WTC
Architectural plans by the late Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi are to be submitted to an international memorial competition for redesigns of New York's former World Trade Center site.
The design's backers say a memorial could be included
Gaudi's 95-year-old plans, which were originally designs for a futuristic hotel about the same size as the Empire State building, will be entered into the competition this spring by a group of art historians, architects and enthusiasts of his work.
It has been said that the plans may well have been intended for the original site of the World Trade Center, although this cannot be verified.
Some say that the designs may solve the dispute between developers and relatives of those who died in the Twin Towers on 11 September 2001.
Gaudi, born in 1852 and revered as one of Spain's most noted architects, is known for his inventive, flamboyant architecture which changed the face of Barcelona in the early 1900s. He died in 1926 after a street-car accident.
A lot of the other proposals are literal ego trips... but here is a way that everyone can be involved in a historical project from around the world
US architect Paul Laffoley
His design shows a curved cluster of steel and concrete towers at varying heights surrounding a central tower that would stand 1,048 feet (319 metres) tall.
Central to the design is a cathedral-style space about 400 feet (120 metres) high which originally would have honoured all the US presidents.
However, architects behind the submission have suggested that this space could instead be reserved for a memorial to those who died in the attacks.
Some New Yorkers have expressed approval of the drawings.
" [They are] absolutely amazing," said Jessica Pingatore.
"I think this city is beautiful and unique as it is, and with that it would just bring a new spirit."
'Historical project'
Nine proposed plans from seven architectural groups for the future of the site have already been put to the people of New York, however response was considerably muted.
New Yorkers expressed concern at the height of other new designs
Many expressed dismay that the designs - from notable architects such as Norman Foster and Richard Meier - did not adequately commemorate the dead, while others expressed concern for safety at the immense height of some proposals.
Other, earlier, designs were dismissed for being unimaginative.
The rebuilding of the World Trade Center has polarised the city.
Some say that no development is appropriate as the area is a mass grave, while others advocate building an even taller tower as an act of defiance against terrorism.
US architect Paul Laffoley, who is spearheading the effort to have Gaudi's plans re-examined, said that using such aged plans would resolve the tension between the two groups.
"It's 77 years since Gaudi died - a lot of the other proposals are literal ego trips," he told the Associated Press news agency.
"But here is a way that everyone can be involved in a historical project from around the world."

I have been working at Meditech
Pros – Very good benefits package that includes health/dental, profit-sharing plan and generous bonus program. You don't feel like management is constantly pushing for you to stay late and work overtime, which allows for a nice regimented work week. Hospital software in general is a stable enterprise, but Meditech's outstanding reputation amongst hospitals throughout the US, Canada and overseas means that your job is secure.
Cons – Disconnect between middle management and lower employees can be frustrating. Not many low level employees can tell you what their manager does on a day-to-day basis due to them being tied up in meetings for the vast majority of time. Currently, there is not enough staff to meet the growing demands of our customer-base.
Advice to Senior Management – Treat lower-level employees as people....not statstics or numbers. Robots aren't doing the work....people are.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

On Showtime's hit series Homeland, Morena Baccarin, a drop-dead gorgeous Brazilian actress, plays Jessica Brody, the scorned wife of a war hero turned terrorist. While Damien Lewis and Claire Danes tend to garner the most attention from this award-winning drama, it's Morena's scenes that we pay the most attention to. With more eyes on her now than at any other time in her career, it's safe to say that 2012 was a very good year for Morena.

Top 100 Graphic Novels Actual--June 2007Sales Estimates for June Based on Diamond Indexes and Publisher Title DataPublished: 07/16/2007, Last Updated: 05/09/2008 04:22am These are estimates of the sales on graphic novels by Diamond U.S. to comic specialty stores during June 2007.
For an overview and analysis of comic sales in June, see ''World War Hulk' Lays Waste to June.'
For an analysis of the dollar trends in June, see 'Graphic Novels Spur June Sales.'
For our estimates of actual orders to Diamond U.S. from comic specialty stores on graphic novels scheduled to ship during June, see 'Top 100 Graphic Novel Actual--June 2007.'
Notes on this chart:
Some titles have been truncated or abbreviated for space reasons. Publisher abbreviations have also been used:
MAR = Marvel Comics
DC = DC Comics
DAR = Dark Horse Comics
IMA = Image Comics
ABS = Abstract Studio
ADV = A.D. Vision
ALI = Alias Enterprises LLC
ANT = Antarctic Press
ARC = Archie Comic Publications
ASP = Apen MLT Inc.
AVA = Avatar Press
BON = Bongo Comics
CAR = Cartoon Books
DEV = Devil's Due Publishing
DYN = Dynamite Entertainment
FAN = Fantagraphics Books
GEM = Gemstone Publishing
IDW = IDW Publishing
MIR = Mirage Studios
ONI = Oni Press Inc.
SLG = Slave Labor Graphics
TIT = Titan Publishing
TKP = Tokyopop
VIZ = Viz Media We are estimating actual sales by Diamond U.S. (primarily to North American comic stores), using Diamond's published sales indexes and publisher sales data to estimate a sales number for Batman (the anchor title Diamond uses in its calculations), and using that number and the indexes to estimate Diamond's sales on the remaining titles. We can check the accuracy of our numbers by comparing the Batman number that we calculate using multiple data points; our numbers for Batman are within 1/10 of 1% of each other, ensuring a high degree of accuracy. They do not include sales made by Diamond UK, orders on these titles placed after the end of June, or copies purchased by Diamond but held in inventory at the end of June. This information may not be reproduced in any format without also crediting Diamond Comic Distributors, Inc.
Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, Image, IDW, Devil's Due, Avatar, Aspen Studios and Gemstone distribute 100% of their comic store orders through Diamond. Some other publishers distribute directly to stores or through other distributors and as a result this analysis may underestimate their sales.
Most graphic novel publishers also release their titles through other channels, which make up a majority of graphic novel sales over-all. These quantity estimates do not reflect distribution through those channels.'
Most of the titles on this chart are also distributed to Europe by Diamond UK, which can account for significant sales for the publisher, ranging from 3-20% of the US numbers. Sales by Diamond UK are not included in the numbers above.
One other factor to consider is that sales through Diamond and other comic distributors are non-returnable to retailers. That means that there is a considerable unknown percentage of books unsold at the retailer level, probably amounting to 5-20% of sales.

Judgements (3 Occurrences)
John 7:24 Do not form superficial judgements, but form the judgements that are just." (WEY)
Romans 2:5 The fact is that in the stubbornness of your impenitent heart you are treasuring up against yourself anger on the day of Anger--the day when the righteousness of God's judgements will stand revealed. (WEY)
1 Corinthians 4:5 Therefore form no premature judgements, but wait until the Lord returns. He will both bring to light the secrets of darkness and will openly disclose the motives that have been in people's hearts; and then the praise which each man deserves will come to him from God. (WEY)

A few businesses have the power to raise prices without sacrificing much in quantity sold. Others have no price-setting power at all. And many in-betweens might have the administrative ability and legal right to raise prices, but doing so frequently may be a bad business decision.
It isn't always clear which businesses are in what situations. That is why it's best to avoid making sweeping statements about whether additional costs to employers from the Affordable Care Act will be passed along to consumers.
All this is prompted by a blog post by Matthew Yglesias, who writes the popular Moneybox blog for Slate, a Web-based magazine. On March 11, Yglesias ridiculed the franchise owner of eight of the popular "Five Guys" chain burger-and-fries restaurants, who said: "Any added costs are going to have to be passed on."
Yglesias argued that if the businessman had any power to raise prices, he would do so regardless of what happened with the new health law. In the end, Yglesias states that the franchisee acknowledges that he, and any of his investors, would have to eat the loss.
Well, yes and no. Although as a columnist, Yglesias usually is pretty good on the underlying economics, he blew it in this case.
The Affordable Care Act does contain mandates that will raise the cost of labor for many employers. While competitive pressure may currently prevent this business owner from raising prices, eventually, since his competitors also will be subject to the ACA, everyone will be raising prices. The profitability of operating restaurants will be about the same as before, although there will be some adjustments at the margins.
To understand this, start at the extremes. In a pure monopoly that has a single producer of an item, the business can set prices at will. But it still is subject to demand, the quantities of the product that customers are willing to buy at each of a series of prices.
When an anthrax epidemic breaks out, the manufacturer of a miracle antibiotic can set the price very high and still sell out. But if the product is robotic back scratchers or polyester kazoos, raise the price very much and sales might drop to zero.
The flip side is farmers who produce corn, wheat or milk. They cannot raise prices at will. In such a situation of "perfect competition," they are price takers. On any given day, they can choose to sell their product at the going market price or not, but they don't set their selling price. They can take or leave what they are offered.
Most real-world businesses, including franchised burger joints, fall in between these extremes. Their situation is more complicated, both for their managers and for the microeconomics students who have to analyze business behavior.
The willingness to produce and sell a product at different prices, what economists call "supply," depends on the cost of producing the product. Specifically, it depends on the additional cost of producing one more unit, or the marginal cost. If fertilizer or feed prices go up, the marginal cost of producing another bushel of soybeans or pound of pork increases.
"Supply" for a whole sector like soybean or pork or milk production consists of adding up the supply, or willingness to sell, of hundreds of thousands of individual producers. As each individual farmer's costs rise, he or she is slightly less willing to produce. Sum this up across all the farmers, and supply has "shifted." For any given demand from buyers, the market price will be higher, and the quantity produced and sold at least somewhat lower.
This retraction in supply by farmers comes in two ways. With higher input costs, some farmers choose to produce marginally less. Other farmers may just go out of business, particularly if the input cost increase is large and the lag in the market price adjustment is long.
Chain restaurants are not in perfect competition. But the hospitality sector is extremely competitive, since there are myriad restaurants competing for consumers' dining-out budget. Economists call this "monopolistic competition."
Often the only difference is that producers have an identifiable brand. Burgers from Five Guys are different from those of other national chains or beloved local haunts - or the experience of eating them in varying ambiences differs - at least if you believe the advertising.
So no, acting alone, an individual restaurant cannot raise prices significantly without seeing sales drop, perhaps precipitously. But when costs go up for everyone, most businesses in the sector do raise prices. That is true when beef goes up, as it as over the past year, and it will be true when mandated health care raises labor costs.
Such sector-wide price increases are not immediate, smooth, uniform or painless. But they do occur all the time. As long as competitors all increase by roughly the same proportion, market shares and longer-term profitability don't change much. Customers eventually bear most of the cost of the pricier beef or the health insurance.
This isn't true for all sectors. Restaurant meals are "nontradeable." There is no way to import a "dining experience" from China. But apples come from Chile, broccoli from Mexico, and manufactured goods from China and elsewhere. The situation for producers of such "tradeable"" goods is very different.
Moreover, restaurants for which the added health care costs are largely compared with total costs will be affected more than those for which the added costs are minor. That depends on many factors, including how labor intensive the restaurant is, whether it occupies inexpensive suburban land or pricey downtown real estate.

"We do what we can to help you have a good time. We provide a clean, quiet friendly facility and the rest takes care of itself."
Commitment, loyalty, and respect describe the relationship between friends Tonya and Cathy and those traits also describe the relationship they foster with their campers.
Our goal is to treat campers as family. "We enjoy meeting with the people - and having people have a good time here," Cathy said. "We will try to do anything to make their experience the best camping experience possible."
They take pride in the campground, which has been owned since 1996 and converted the campground to KOA in 2004. "We thought we'd take it to the next level with KOA," she said. Being in the KOA system comes with some perks, including being recognized as President's Award recipients for the past five years. "We are excited that not only KOA is proud to have us in their system, but our campers our happy with us as well", says Cathy.
They clearly take pride in what they do. "We try to make sure the campers have a great time," Tonya noted, and they extend their hospitality as they would to guests in their home.
"We do what we can to help them have a good time. We provide a clean, quiet friendly facility and the rest usually takes care of itself." "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." (1 Corinthians 10:31)

Lom Warnings and Dangers

Glaciers are beautiful and interesting to explore and can show a tremendous range of colours that tempt you to get as close as possible to really get a good look. Be careful however. Glaciers regularily calf over and can crush whatever is beneath them or if there's water there - they can create floodwaves - or mini tsunamis if you like. Each year some people get hurt or even die because of this or because they try to walk on the glaciers and fall into cracks where they are quickly subject to hypothermia (eg freeze to death).
If you keep some distance from the glaciers or are escorted by a guide and actually listen to what they say when they tell you which precautions to make - even though the safety blablabla is usually boring - you should be okay. That being said - the glacier walking and viewing possibilities in the approximity of Lom are great!
