Interview With Kernel Hacker Dave Jones
A reader writes "Kerneltrap has recently interviewed Dave Jones who currently lives in London, employed by SuSE as a Linux kernel hacker. In the past six months since he graduated from the University of Glamorgan he has gotten involved in an impressive range of kernel related projects, including Powertweak, x86info, OProfile and the Kernel Janitors Project. Additionally, he maintains a -dj patch for the 2.5 development kernel, helping to sync it with the stable 2.4 kernel as well as offering increased stability. "
All too easy....
post?
comon big first post
FPFPFP cmndrtaco sucks
Lameness filter can KISS MY ASS.
Slashdot definitely sucks monkey testicles lately.
A new release of WindowMaker??!?! Wowwy Zowie! Who fuckin' cares?!?!?! IT SUCKS!
Some companies don't care about Web defacement!!!! What a fuckin' news flash! Unless it's your own company, who gives a flyin' cow shit? And if it is your own company, and your site sucks, maybe it'll get people to visit the fuckin' pit.
The commercialization of the Internet??!?! Fuckin' christ! When did that happen?! Holy shit, this is news to me! I could have sworn it happened about ten fuckin' years ago shortly after the birth of the WWW, but what the fuck do I know?!
No more sweaty mouse hands?!?!?! Cool! Just when I thought that I was a complete fuckin' degenerate playing games 'til my hands sweat and cramp, when I should be working or something, now I know that others share my problem, and life seems so much fucking better now.
thank you.
Perhaps feels a bit better than the possible pain of having one's soul removed.
Yes, but the hunger pains must be terrible. And it has to be an awful blow to one's ego to be a kernal hax0r and yet beg to put food on the table.

He is a cracker, not a hax0r who is elite. This slashpost should be deleted. Fool.
Wasn't he in the Monkeys?
Due to the fact that the complexity is hidden from the user, hacking an easy-to-use computer is much more difficult. Simple = harder in this case.
.Net strategy - namely, pay per use. It costs $10 per computation, or 15 minutes, whichever comes first.
Anyway, here is the simplest computer around, and the interface is perfect because we are all born with it - the interface is human DRIVE. The computer works like this: I stick my pee sprout in your mom's poop chute for 1, and I stick it in her pee hole for 0.
poop chute = 1
pee hole = 0
Sometimes I stick it in her mouth, but that is for parity.
Sometimes complex operations can take a long time to complete, but that's okay! We're looking for simplicity here, not speed. And waiting for this interface isn't that bad.
This simple computer is very susceptable to visuses. In fact, it comes pre-loaded with several.
For review:
poop chute = 1
pee hole = 0
This computer also fits into Microsoft's
poop chute = 1
pee hole = 0

This is offtopic, yet interesting.
Coming back from holidays I wanted to know what happened on the KDE front. So, I go to Slashdot and search for KDE. Nil. Nothing.
Ok, so I search for Gnome... Vroooommm. Lots of hits. What?!
Please, what is up?
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - scat/pedophile writer The WIPO Troll was found dead in his Massachusetts home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
Any hope of a Monkees reunion in '02?
I have nearly identical computers here on my desk. Both are 1ghz amd/abit/geforce, one is running linux2.4.17, and the other is FreeBSD4.4 Using both of these side-by-side, to run similar tasks, it's quite apparent that the BSD machine is faster. The linux machine is riddled with many small latencies. Also when you configure and compile the kernel, and look over how the source code is laid out, you quickly realize how much more organized and logical the BSD layout is. Linux has the advantage of there being more packages configured specifically for it. Compiling the latest package from source on BSD is almost always harder than linux. Thats because a lot of very naive people chose linux as their target platform, because they were ignorant of the bsd family. If you think I'm wrong, and you do know about bsd, then that's fine. Anyway just note that all the linux will never be as polished and robust as BSD, unless you throw away your current code tree, and replace it with the BSD kernel.
I just heard some sad news on talk radio - pedophile/homosexual writer The WIPO Troll was indicted in a federal district court in Alexandria, VA. The charges of libel and defamation of character stem from a series of blistering personal attacks on one CMDR Taco.
There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community hated him - there's no denying that he was a truly worthless twat.
An anonymous commander of tacos is quoted as saying "Thank General Ashcroft for suspending free speech, it allowed me to finally smoke this terrorist out of his hole"

I like monkeys. The pet store was selling them for five cents a piece. I thought that odd since they were normally a couple thousand. I decided not to look a gift horse in the mouth. I bought 200. I like monkeys.
I took my 200 monkeys home. I have a big car. I let one drive. His name was Sigmund. He was retarded. In fact, none of them were really bright. They kept punching themselves in their genitals. I laughed. Then they punched my genitals. I stopped laughing.
I herded them into my room. They didn't adapt very well to their new environment. They would screech, hurl themselves off of the couch at high speeds and slam into the wall. Although humorous at first, the spectacle lost its novelty halfway into its third hour.
Two hours later I found out why all the monkeys were so inexpensive: they all died. No apparent reason. They all just sorta' dropped dead. Kinda' like when you buy a goldfish and it dies five hours later. Damn cheap monkeys.
I didn't know what to do. There were 200 dead monkeys lying all over my room, on the bed, in the dresser, hanging from my bookcase. It looked like I had 200 throw rugs.
I tried to flush one down the toilet. It didn't work. It got stuck. Then I had one dead, wet monkey and 199 dead, dry monkeys.
I tried pretending that they were just stuffed animals. That worked for a while, that is until they began to decompose. It started to smell real bad.
I had to pee but there was a dead monkey in the toilet and I didn't want to call the plumber. I was embarrassed.
I tried to slow down the decomposition by freezing them. Unfortunately, there was only enough room for two monkeys at a time so I had to change them every 30 seconds. I also had to eat all the food in the freezer so it didn't all go bad.
I tried burning them. Little did I know my bed was flammable. I had to extinguish the fire.
Then I had one dead, wet monkey in my toilet, two dead, frozen monkeys in my freezer, and 197 dead, charred monkeys in a pile on my bed. The odor wasn't improving.
I became agitated at my inability to dispose of my monkeys and to use the bathroom. I severely beat one of my monkeys. I felt better.
I tried throwing them away but the garbage man said that the city was not allowed to dispose of charred primates. I told him that I had a wet one. He couldn't take that one either. I didn't bother asking about the frozen ones.
I finally arrived at a solution. I gave them out as Christmas gifts. My friends didn't know quite what to say. They pretended that they like them, but I could tell they were lying. Ingrates. So I punched them in the genitals.
I like monkeys.
Cool! Did you meet Jessica Alba when you were there? Did you see her naked? Did people call her "Dark Angel"?
RMS did this for years, but Dave can afford pizza and beer, so he's not exactly destitute.
it was made for grepping gay porn off government harddrives. unless youre into gays and grepping, why dont you C programming fux0rz spend some time on a heterosexual alternative?
Pizza
Happiness is not necessarily a night in front of the TV with munchies and a couple of cold ones, but it's a possible fuel for kernel hackers.
From this statement it's obvious you've never met the Vice President personally. Believe me, there's a reason why he's only the "#2 man."
