Here is a page that provides a brief history of the guy, including the letter to the mailing list where Linus (pronounced leenus, i think) first [...]

Rhymes with “canoe”

Experts needed (paid by commission)

We need to establish a betting pool website for when the next al-qaida attack is going to be, we will need intelligence analysts, website designers, and somebody who has some idea how people make money by running a betting pool.
