BBC News - Linux creator Linus Torvalds shares Millennium Technology Prize

[CESIL]

I think that a large proportion of successful people are to some extent "selfish" in that they often put their own goals ahead of other aspects of their lives...

 

...that's why I am not rich and famous (yet)... or at least that's the excuse I have been using for years!

[adhutton]

I personally think its pretty stingy that Linus has had to share the prize!

 

I think he should have won it outright for his contribution to world technology.
