Linus Torvalds outs himself as US citizen

@jaitch - feh on your hatred and negativity

My family and I also came to the US for the opportunities that are only available here. I served in the US military for more than 2 decades and have been a proud (Naturalized) US citizen for more that 3 decades. My family escaped from one of the "worker's paradises" that were formerly so common on the continent because we saw that there could be no future other than the drudgery of obeying the fiats and dictates of the state and its functionaries.

Linus has chosen the course of action that will provide him and his family the freedom to pursue whatever he desires without the oppressive state leering over his shoulder and providing its "expert guidance and advice" I have been there and I have not regretted the choice. I suspect that Linus will not regret his choice either.

I did not think that there was anyone still shilling for the idiot child. Good to see that appealing to the lowest common denominator factor is still in effect. Allow me to discuss some items -

The idiot did willingly, knowingly and with malice seek to infiltrate systems that he knew were designated for and used by official functionaries of a foreign nation.

He read and ignored the warnings about the consequences of his actions and when caught admitted his crime.gainst a national system for his own personal gratification or ?curiosity?.

Do not do the crime if you do not want to chance doing time

Are we done with this yet? Okay, good then.
