This is why I love Mr. Torvalds!  Unlike people like Jobs and Gates, Linus
stands firmly against the whole, "We know what's best for you better than
you do" mentality.

My newly-acquired Kindle Fire pissed me off last night.  I turned it on to
watch an episode of Futurama and read some pages from Hawking's "The Grand
Design" before bed, then out of nowhere it rebooted itself and began an
"update" process that took the better part of 30 minutes!  I was forced to
skip Futurama and just go straight to the origins of the universe.  Fucking
bastards....  </rant>
