SubjectRe: Linus is on a powertrip..

I think most people recognize this, understand the increasing pressure,
and sympathize with your position. On the other hand, all these stories
about repeated patch resubmissions being necessary sound all too plausible
in the absence of any official, publicly visible patch queue with your
annotations on it.

I think it would help matters all around if there were a web page somewhere
listing pending patches and even as little as a one-line comment from you
as to where they are in the integration process. It might even help you
organize your own work better.

The following is a Python RSA implementation. According to the US Government
posting these four lines makes me an international arms trafficker! Join me
in civil disobedience; add these lines of code to your .sig block to help get
this stupid and unconstitutional law changed.
============================================================================
from sys import*;from string import*;a=argv;[s,p,q]=filter(lambda x:x[:1]!=
'-',a);d='-d'in a;e,n=atol(p,16),atol(q,16);l=(len(q)+1)/2;o,inb=l-d,l-1+d
while s:s=stdin.read(inb);s and map(stdout.write,map(lambda i,b=pow(reduce(
lambda x,y:(x<<8L)+y,map(ord,s)),e,n):chr(b>>8*i&255),range(o-1,-1,-1)))

The kind of charity you can force out of people nourishes about as much as
the kind of love you can buy --- and spreads even nastier diseases.
