Torvalds attacks IT industry 'security circus'

So Linus admits that there are security flaws in linux as well as other bugs? I've been saying that for a long time but the fanboys wouldn't believe me. Now that their leader finally admits to it perhaps the fanboys will too.

Linus Torvalds has always and will always be a chump. He thinks he knows so much more than anyone else about developing an OS and thats why he ticks everyone off. The guy should just keep his mouth shut for once. Maybe if he gets deported out of the U.S. and back to Finland that will change his attitude.

It sounds more like Linus is jealous because the OpenBSD project is secure and stable and his OS is not. And that OpenBSD folks preach security above all else which makes it a great platform. There has always been a fued between Linus and the OpenBSD crowd. But what really cracks me up is when Theo basically slaps Linus back into reality and puts him in his place. Nothing is funnier than seeing Linus squirm. I can't wait for Theo to comment on this one.
