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."

    The word "and" should not be capitalized when used in a title. Please change accordingly.

    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.

    Respectfully,

    I want AC's message up there for all posterity. Maybe I will capture it and make it my root picture.

    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.
