Linux’s Creator Wants Us All to Chill Out About the Leap Second (Wired)

Wired talks with Linus Torvalds about the potential for another leap-second bug. "Really, to the rest of us, just take the leap second as an excuse to have a small nonsensical party for your closest friends. Wear silly hats, get a banner printed that says 'Leap Second Doomsday Party', and get silly drunk. You’ll blink, and it’s over, but at least you’ll have the hangover next day to remind you of that glorious but fleeting extra second."
