Thats enough insight for us here until a new problem arrives :o)

langostino posted an article on Finland's Linus Torvolds that may
be interesting for Sheriff Matt and BobZ to read in regards to this
iHub and Silicon Investor in the current chaos of Raging Bull
and other investing sites dealing with non investing posts.

The first language of Mr. Torvolds is not English, so some of his
sentences need to be re-read. I included that section that might
be interesting in a business sense to Matt & Bob, and especially
to Bob if Si and iHub experience growth in both functionality & use.

A: I think it ultimately the only way to do software.
I have arguments why.
The main one is the complexity issue.
It's very hard for someone who doesn't work like this
to keep control of an increasingly complex source base
and increasingly complex user base.
If you try to control the process too much,
you can go straight to the end point where you want to go.
That works well if you know where the end point is.
If you don't know where it is and you can't control where people
want to use your software, it's a very bad thing to have one branch
that is very concentrated on one line of development.
The best analogy is...
A perfect case in genetics is sharks.
They are very stable but they also don't evolve anymore....
Q: That's what Bill Gates is.
A: That's a fairly good analogy but sharks is a bad word.
I should make up another example....
