Linus Torvalds: "I don't read code any more."
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, November 14 2012 @ 10:37 AM EST
When a patch has already gone through two people, at that point, I can either look at the patch and say: no, all your work was wasted, and micromanage at that level – and quite frankly I don't want to do that, and I don't have the capacity to do that.

So most of the time, when it comes to the major subsystem maintainers, I trust them because I've been working with them for 5, 10, 15 years, so I don't even look at the code. They tell me these are the changes and they give me a very high-level overview. Depending on the person, it might be five lines of text saying this is roughly what has changed, and then they give me a diffstat, which just says 15 lines have changed in that file, and 25 lines have changed in that file and diffstat might be a few hundred lines because there's a few hundred files that have changed. But I don't even see the code itself, I just say: OK, the changes happen in these files, and by the way, I trust you to change those files, so that's fine. And then I just say: I'll take it.

“The voter acting in good faith cannot suffer disenfranchisement as a result of the Secretary’s drafting errors.” (PAGE 12) Click for story. Meanwhile in Arizona 6,000,000 are votes still uncounted!

DOJ Nixes AT & T - T-Mobile Acquisition

I would love to see Google buy T-Mobile. I hope they are seriously thinking about who's going to control the pipes. Soon this will be a serious problem.

Samsung: We Have No Intention of Settling With Apple Like HTC
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, November 14 2012 @ 05:15 PM EST
Shin Jong-kyun, Samsung’s head of mobile and IT, told Yonhap News that the company has no intention to negotiate with Apple to reach a settlement like HTC did recently.

“It may be true that HTC may have agreed to pay 300 billion won (US$276 million) to Apple, but we don’t intend to (negotiate) at all,” Shin told reporters, according to the publication.

UberSoft
Authored by: Anonymous on Wednesday, November 14 2012 @ 07:17 PM EST

Got the urge to read every UberSoft strip, from start to finish. My wife and
kids think I've gone nuts, because I can't stop laughing like a maniac.
