Now that it seems that George Bush has won the presidency, I am wondering
whether Linus and other members of the free software community intend to
leave the U.S. and go to more friendly places. Imagine what G.W. Bush is
going to do to export controls, free software, copyright law, patent law,
etc.... Be afraid.

You are an IDIOT!
This is a place to develop the kernel not breed your simple small mind!

Which is more probable? That the author of this is an idiot or that 48% of
the American voting public are idiots? Actually, I'm not sure.

Well... I don't think idiocy can be defined purely by who people
voted for. From my political view, more than 90% of all Swedes would be
idiots in that case :^)

Oh, and for those who didn't know, Bush hasn't won (yet); the votes are
getting recounted in Florida as less the difference was about 700 votes.
