Stop being stupid. We all saw the same linuxcon interview: HE WAS JOKING.
Interesting. His father clearly thought he was telling the truth. did you watch the video? Seems the found it important enough to bring up to the EU when giving testimony about mass surveillance.
Here is the referenced interview (by his father and everyone else): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84Sx0E13gAo
Just to reiterate, are you saying that Linus' father doesn't understand his son, and misinterpreted a "joke" to be something serious enough to provide testimony about in EU parliament?
Being "Linus's father" doesn't mean they are telepathically linked. He was referencing the comments in that video, not privileged insider knowledge.
so then, your answer is "Yes. I am saying that Linus' father doesn't understand his son, and that he misinterpreted a "joke" to be something serious enough to provide testimony about in EU parliament."
