The creator of the Linux open source operating system loathes hard drives so much that he has compared the data storage device to the supreme master of evil - Satan.
On Thursday, Linus Torvalds chatted with techies on Slashdot, answering a series of questions on "computers, programming, books, and copyrights."
While Torvalds made a number of scathing remarks in the Q&A (when discussing his views on software patents, for example, Torvalds declared that "there are a lot of f*cking morons on the Internet"), he reserved some particularly scalding comments to express his vehemence for hard drives.
