    RICE, RICE BABEY...

    Rice Rice Baby, Rice Rice Baby
    All right stop, Masturbate and listen
    Nguyen is back with a brand new invention
    Nguyen grabs his dick real tightly
    Cum flows like a harpoon daily and nightly
    Will he ever stop? Yo I don't know
    Turn off the lights and he'll show
    To the extreme I whack off like a vandall
    Light up my sister and wax a chump like a candle.
    Gook, Butt fuck a animal that moves
    I'm killing the NET like a poinsonous mushroom
    Deadly when I play a Gook melody
    Anything less than the best would be a felony
    Love it or leave it, you better gain way
    You better hit bull's eye cuz Nguyen don't play
    If theres a problem, then Yo I caused it
    Check out Dave Horner's mum while the DJ fucks her
    Rice Rice Baby Rice Rice Baby
    Rice Rice Baby Rice Rice Baby
    Now that the Nguyen is jumping
    With Napalm dropped on the gook are bumping
    Quick to Vietnam to the point no faking
    I'm cooking up dogs like a pound of bacon
    Burning them if there not quick and nimble
    I go crazy when I hear a cymbal
    And I hi hat with a souped up tempo
    I'm on the rag and its time go clean up
    Rolling in my rickshaw
    With my ragtop down so my hair will blow
    The boys on standby, Waving just to say hi
    Did you stop? No I just flipped them off
    Kept on pursuing to the next stop
    Busted a left and I'm heading to the welfare office
    That block was dead
    Yo-so I continued to A1A Beachfront Ave.
    Guys were hot wearing less than bikinis
    Dennis Mai lovers driving Lamborghinis
    Jealous cause I'm out getting ice
    Shay with a gauge a Nguyen with some rice
    Reading for the chumps on the wall
    The gook acting ill because they're so full of cow balls
    Gunshots rang out like a bell
    I grabbed my rice -All I heard were shells
    Falling on the concrete real fast
    Jumped on the car slammed on the gas
    Rickshaw to Rickshaw Vietnams packed
    I'm trying to get away before the Gook Hijack
    Police on the scene you know what I mean
    Passed my up, confronted all the Gook fiends
    If theres a problem, Yo I caused it
    Check out Dave Horner's mum while my DJ fucks her
    Rice, Rice Baby Rice, Rice Baby
    Rice, Rice Baby Rice, Rice Baby
    Take head cause I'm a Asian poet
    Melbournes on the scene in case you didn't know it
    My town that created all the shit sound
    Enough to shake and kick holes in the ground
    Cause my breath is like a chemical spill
    Feasable rice that you can vision and feel
    Conducted and form, This is a hell of a fuck up
    We make it hype and you want to step with this
    Mai plays on the fade,slice like a ninja
    Cut like a razor blade so fast, Other gooks say Damn!
    If my breath was a drug, I'd sell it by the gram
    Keep my composure when it's time to get loose
    Magnitized by by the Amiga while I whack my rod
    If theres a problem, Yo I caused it
    Check out Dave Horner's mum while the DJ fucks her
    Rice,Rice Baby Rice,Rice Baby
    Rice,Rice Baby Rice,Rice Baby

    Goddammit! Why do the editors keep posting inane stories about some questionable hobbyists' OS? News for Nerds? Maybe. Stuff that matters? Certainly not! More news about habitable planets, junkyard wars, and stem cell research, please!

    It is absent from the ChangeLog but 2.5.3 contains Robert Love's (yes, the preemptive guy) BKL removal from llseek. It's a scalability fix - we have an 8-way machine at work and it has increased our data system throughput by nearly 15%! We must lseek too much heh but it works eh.

    I have some friend's and they say 2.5.3 has much reduced latency with preemptive kernel, since removing the BKL would allow more preemption.

    Don't know why it is not in the ChangeLog, but it is a good thing. Love should do one for 2.4 too.

    GNU/Linux wookies are still living in the unstable days of Windows 95.

    Just keep hoping that Microsoft make security blunders or GNU/Linux will have to try and compete on usability, and you really don't want that.

    Actually - Mr Anonymous Coward,

    I'm already at 50 karma, a situation that you'll certainly never accomplish in your life, that karma means nothing to me anymore.

    To prove it - I post this at 2, to give the moderators some extra work.

    Yeah, it's on all my production machines. I've got millions of dollars riding on it.

    Of course not, you jackass. I know this is Slashdot, where untested hardware, piss poor drivers written in a drunken fury, and bleeding edge technology with no perceivable benefit are kewl, but I don't think even the sweaty fanboys in this place are dumb enough to put a 2.5.x kernel on anything important.
