Linux Torvald’s plagiarism revealed!

Posted on May 9th, 2009 — permalink

I’ve just watched Caprica, the pilot for a prequel series to the recent Battlestar Galactica.  In the last episode of BSG, we learn that all of this takes place tens of thousands of years in the past.  Yet, look what we see in on technologist’s bookshelf in Caprica:

All of this (open source) has happened before, and all of it will happen again.

    Oh, it was probably a visual joke. I noticed it going by, and thought I’d call it out.
