Heh, I read the same line, and before going any further I could guess exactly who that "idiotic developer" was.
(It helps to be familiar with both our editor's sense of humor and the fact that his kernel coding work tends to revolve around video input.)

I had the momentary eyebrow raising at that sentence, followed almost immediately by the thought "I see where this is going" and there it went. No wonder our editor is grumpy, not only being insulted, but finding he has stooped low enough to insult someone!

Indeed, one should always read the article in full before posting lest they appear as an idiot... which happened to me quite a number of times ;-)
As a French guy likes to say: "better stay silent and look stupid than open your mouth and leave no doubt about it." But I have to say I entirely disagree with him. Sometimes stupid remarks/questions lead to clever and instructive answer for all.
