The 2.5 Kernel Tree And Alan Cox
Motor writes "It seems that (as everyone suspected), the 2.5 Linux kernel tree is close to opening. However, contrary to expectations, 2.4 will not be maintained by Alan Cox, but will instead be handled by Marcelo Tosatti. Thanks to Alan for all his hard work on 2.0 and 2.2."
Whilst not wishing to condone the generally apalling standard of English found on Slashdot (& that's just in my posts ;-) I think you may be a little confused.
Rules of correct use of English are not prescriptive. They are guidelines, helping to ensure one is understood. Bad English is difficult to understand English. Your point, sir, is mere nitpicking.

I want AC's message up there for all posterity. Maybe I will capture it and make it my root picture.
Infuriate left and right
There's another fine fucking thing spoiled by terrorists. I mean, the Mafia just doesn't cut it as evil anymore. Sure they might make you wear cement overshoes, but they always had a reason. None of this fucking business of putting a hit on somebody just for the hell of it. What's up with that? They gotta no respect I tells ya.
For all intensive purposes, "whom" is no longer a word. That begs the question, "who cares"?
