Linus Torvalds

“Being the responsible parents we are, we have Carbon Monoxide alarms in the house, because hey, it’s what you do. Right? Of course, they have never gone off (knock wood), so you do tend to forget that they exist at all. Well, yesterday one of those alarms decided that it needed to really remind us that it exists, and that it’s been ten years since we activated it. Because it’s now time to replace it. Of course, nobody was home - except for the dog. Who is now traumatized by that beeping hell-box”
