Comment on: "Can we please get rid of the brain-damaged stupid networking comment syntax style, PLEASE?" Linus Torvalds rants against ugly commenting styles

Ah, I understand. Yeah, I don't understand some people's approach to Linus. They must not code. You have to be direct and clear to make sure you get what you want in your code. English majors just don't get it.

Nothing passive at all. He is telling you how he wants it. Passive aggressive would be cutting off your commit priv and not telling you why.

If you ever worked in tech support, then you know this kind of person.

Logic is useless.

Comment on: Newb looking for advice.

You can work along with a book: http://www.diveintopython.net/
Or videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3u1fu6f8Hto
Or enroll yourself in MIT: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-00sc-introduction-to-computer-science-and-programming-spring-2011/

At a small step, pick a language and start there. Java is used in many universities to frame computer science programs. Or you can start more close to home and use a scripting language like Python. Or even simpler and program using Bash that is built into linux.
