    ...rewritten from scratch...

    I understand what they are saying. They had the kernel. They took the ideas in it, an rewrote it.

    But rewritten from scratch isn't correct. It's rewritten. It's written from scratch. Which is it?

    No seriously, which is it? Did they actually rewrite it? Or did they completely start from a blank sheet and name the new kernel after the old one?

    Either way, I'd like to try this. I ran the 'OS on a disk' version a few years ago and loved it. Of course I could nit-pick there too. OS on a disk? I hope so if it's an embedded OS, because a hard drive would defeat the purpose.

      I can only assume that you meant to title your post, "Grammar Nazi".

      Pot, kettle, black...

      Yes, as people pointed out... I didn't spell "Grammar" right.

      I never said I was the Spelling Nazi, thankfully we have some here on slashdot.

    If you're going to mount your high horse and pick at the tiniest of grammatical nits, at least spell "grammar" correctly.

    And what do you mean, "if it's an embedded OS, because a hard drive would defeat the purpose"? Systems with hard disks need OSes, too.

    Damn.

    I was watching BBC World's report on the conditions of the Camp X-ray and they had this cute Marine girl interviewed. Couldn't have been much older than 18. Made me feel damn old (I'm 28) and almost believe in the US line.
