JC: Is Torvalds pompous?

Well, maybe so, but that hasn't kept Gates' buddy Paul Allen from greasing
the skids a little. Since Herr Professor K. has chosen his adjective, let me
chose mine, with adverbs for emphasis:

Gates: excessively acquisitive
Balmer: decidedly bombastic

Billy and Steve together: arrogant and ruthless

I guess Stevie thinks he's been appointed Chairman of the
Federal Reserve with his recent remarks on the "absurd" valuations of tech stocks.
The trouble is: the managements of Seagate, 3Com, American Power Conversion
and many others don't necessarily agree with him. And those that do wish he hadn't
said it, and may act accordingly. Andy Grove, in particular,
didn't need this on top of all the problems with the new Intel chipset.
