“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
Mark is one of the coolest guys ever. Great books and great tools.
Thanks, I was wondering who the other guys were. Torvalds in the former enemy’s lair. He’s the winner in this pic.
This is really unsettling. Like seeing Tesla and Edison.
eh Bill doesn’t really pull any levers at MS these days, and Linus already got the moral victory of the Linux kernel running on Windows and basically powering their entire cloud business.
Torvalds should be nowhere near that man.
He looks like an older Tom Scott.
Best part, Linus is the youngest of the four!
They have aged so much. Didn’t even think they would that old.
I deal with computers because if I don’t, computers will deal with me.
Is the guy on the left wearing a wig?
The wig is operating the human machine it sits on
Bill Gates looks like he could be John Oliver’s dad.
That’s also Mark Russ on the left
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.
So I guess what I’m saying is fuck both of these old dudes.
Ah, the arrogance of youth. I remember it well myself.
