Seems fine for me, took 4 seconds to fully load.

#4"...he rubbed elbows with the likes of Robert Downey Jr., who didn’t know who he was, and Mad Men star Jon Hamm, who did."
I'm mildly disappointed in RD Jr... he had so much geek cred after playing an awesome Iron Man, but I guess that's why it's called acting.

I ask because wired.com pages consistently take 20-30 seconds for me. Ping is on the order of 60 ms just now. Just curious about what makes it so slow for me.

It took less than a second, running latest firefox on linux and noscript/adblock/flashblock/etc.
But on the same vein of off topic, I just want to know if the microwave and coffee maker on that picture run linux.

While I could very easily be wrong Linus always struck me as the kind of guy who would want a microwave and coffee maker that just works and wouldn't really care if they run linux or not.

#8RedHat's $1m stock is his only big payout, apparently. Rather sad, considering the number of mid-level facebook engineers who will become many times as rich in a few months.

Which of those will be remembered in 200 years. Wanna be the richest guy in the graveyard?
