Yeah, but you should have got the point ... sadly you didn't. And no,
he won't teach you how to program. People like Guido are only for those
who have the basic foundations lied down well, just like Linus won't
come to teach you C.

He's here since Canonical is on a tour of Asia. Its aims and objectives
are clearly laid down here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AsiaBusinessTour .
Just a simple search could have helped, but I guess you were too busy
being incorrigible.

Ubuntu advocacy. Yes, that's most probably the case. And you think you
don't even need to listen to him? Would it really hurt if you go there
and listen what a guy like Mark has to say? We all know what rms says
each and everytime he speaks, yet we all listen to him intently. You
never know when  they share a gem with you.

... or installing anti-[spyware|virus|etc.] on your favourite box.

He's right. Public speaking != having fun. That's what he does all the
time anyway.
