The top 10 greatest geeks of all time
,----[ Quote ]
| 1: Linus Torvalds
|
| Shaun Nichols: It's one thing to write a complete computer program. It takes
| an entirely different level of geekdom to write a computer operating system.
| Compound that with the fact that said operating system is a re-write of the
| most successful network operating environment of all time, and then - as the
| icing on the cake - giving the code away to the rest of the world for free
| and you'll start to understand why Linus Torvalds earned the number one spot.
|
| One story jokingly tossed around is that Torvalds wrote all of the code for
| the Linux kernel on the back of a shovel over the course of one cold Finish
| winter. The reality is only slightly less amazing: the 21 year-old student
| wrote the first versions of his Unix clone in his spare time as a way to
| connect with servers at the University of Helsinki in 1991.
