While that we are touching on Feynman, I thought this bit was interesting (just 1:26 long)
Richard Feynman on Computer Science - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lL4wg6ZAFIM&feature=relat...
I believe he has a point, I don't know if term Computer Science is the best choice of words.

As many of the sc2 players here might know, the guy who wrote this (day9) is one of the famous person in esports right now. He used to be a professional player of sc, but since sc2 appeared (2010) he dedicated to analyze the game, and has even a daily show about it.
The interesting thing about starcraft is that it's played _so_ much (in s. korea is a profession, kids actually go to live in "pro houses" were they play all day), that the game has/is evolving to a point where every little thing matters. In the highest levels, you can't really fight a straight up battle and hope to win, it's a game of getting little advantages (like removing %1 of his income) and trying to get ahead, and push those advantages much later on. Increasing your economy, building up you army, the execution and management of your units in the fight, everything counts.

It'd've been advantageous to see this go on a purely open service like Gitorious instead. They often provide similar features as GitHub and could definitely use the exposure of Linus's account.
I use and enjoy GitHub, so this definitely isn't a personal gripe, I'd just like to see the competition in that space heat up a bit, and there'd be bonus points if we could simultaneously promote a completely open platform.
Why github Linus?

"it’s sole purpose should be to make money."
Wrong use of "it's". Wrong application of "sole".
Why would an incubator, or any business, only have a "sole" purpose? Certainly, it makes sense for them to have a purpose that is "to make money", but what requires that to be its sole purpose?
If a client every came to me and declared their sole purpose in business was "to make money" I would 1) not take them on as a client, but not before 2) strongly suggesting that there is something far deeper than money which needs to drive them and their business if they're to make that money. Maybe their underlying reason is still personal, like being able to holiday 11 months a year or have enough money to send their kids to a better school than they went to. Maybe their other purposes include changing peoples' lives or delivering health initiatives into a third world country. Both benefit enormously from a sustainable, profitable company. And it's a lot easier to recruit motivated staff, build clients, gain media attention etc when your authentic reason is more than money.
Trying to solely make money is like running a business solely to not make money - makes no sense, and I've not seen anything in incubators that indicates they're any different.
He does it a lot, even the other way around:
"However, its not as simple as putting small amounts [...]"
it's

Pyflakes is awesome, I think you just changed the way I edit python files.
