Linux 2.4.18 Released
Kourino writes: "Marcelo
announced the release of 2.4.18 a couple hours ago after 4 release candidates, but the tree marked 2.4.18 on kernel.org is
missing the -rc4 patch that finally made the kernel releasable. Basically, what's marked as 2.4.18 is really -rc3, and what's marked as -rc4 is what should have become 2.4.18. According to Marcelo on #kernelnewbies, most users won't be affected, but people on SPARC systems should definitely grab 2.4.18-rc4. Your best bet is probably just to get 2.4.17 and patch to 2.4.18-rc4. Seems 2.4 is destined to be an "interesting" release branch ^_^; For the new release, head over to your favorite kernel.org mirror. (Marcelo will set things straight in 2.4.19-pre1.)"
fp!
Then I went into the country of Comukha, which was disobedient and withheld the tribute and offerings due to Ashur my Lord: I conquered the whole country of Comukha. I plundered their movables, their wealth, and their valuables. Their cities I burnt with fire, I destroyed and ruined. The common people of Comukha, who fled before the face of my servants, crossed over to the city of Sherisha, which was on the further banks of the Tigris, and made this city into their stronghold. I assembled my chariots and warriors. I betook myself to carts of iron in order to overcome the rough mountains and their difficult marches. I made the wilderness (thus) practicable for the passage of my chariots and warriors. I crossed the Tigris and took the city of Sherisha their stronghold. Their fighting men, in the middle of the forests, like wild beasts, I smote. Their carcasses filled the Tigris, and the tops of the mountains. At this time the troops of the Akhe, who came to the deliverance and assistance of Comukha, together with the troops of Comukha, like chaff I scattered. The carcasses of their fighting men I piled up like heaps on the tops of the mountains. The bodies of their warriors, the roaring waters carried down to the Tigris. Kili Teru son of Kali Teru, son of Zarupin Zihusun, their King, in the course of their fighting fell into my power. His wives and his children, the delight of his heart I dispossessed him of. One hundred and eighty iron vessels and 5 trays of copper, together with the gods of the people in gold and silver, and their beds and furniture I brought away. Their movables and their wealth I plundered. This city and its palace I burnt with fire, I destroyed and ruined.

C'mon, we're all friends here. Lets just forget that comment and relabel 'ostiguy' as 'troll'.
first post you miserable bitches
F.U,C.K my poo!!!11
Look at the evidence: Your mom hasn't used BSD in 2 years. Your friends all use Mac OS X.
That is all.
...much too narrow. It's disgusting, distateful and uh something else very, very bad.
Something must be done to make more horizontal room! Any ideas?
Would you please suck my dirty and hairy balls ?
They could have done it during the 20 second posting period.
Lameness filter encountered. Post aborted!

Linux geeks everywhere! Here is your chance not only to assure the world-domination of Linux for eons to come but also to insert your geek DNA into the AI source code genome of the world's first Immortal Robot AI Mind. Remember W. Shakespeare: "There is a tide in the affairs of men...." As the AI Mind proliferates and carries Linux (after a port from Windoze) with it, your embedded DNA (initials plus creation date) will enter the lists of evolutionary battle, duking it out with the Earl and with all the other good-as-any,-better'n-most coders!
Well done troll! You should get several takers.
Much more creative than the Dirty GNU Hippie thing.
Dude, careful, you might lose your -1 bitchslap! :)
If you must post to get self-validation, try making up a story or something.
I'd agree with you if the editors didn't reject every damn story submitted. Lots of interesting stuff gets let go, but editors ALWAYS seem to make sure that a patch level kernel release gets posted. It's silliness. The editors here are just too pigheaded for users to submit interesting stories and get them known. Disagree? Stupid crap like this Linux-newbie question gets posted while intelligent topics get thrown out.
The only option is to whine about the stories that do get posted.
Why bother.
Some Slashdot readers have been in the closet for so long to keep their MCSE Certified jobs that they have become claustrophobic. The page widening helps claustrophobic slashdot readers with horizontal space as far as the mouse can scroll (figuratively speaking of course). So really, I'm widening pages for the benifit of mankind, that's all. By the way, suck it. Kthx.
Its true. I usally read at -1, but since these page widening posts have come about I've started reading at a higher threshold except when I'm moderating - that is when I'm signed in.
If any one post pisses me off the most, worst than haneous ascii ass pictures, worse than stephen king is dead, or the turd report, it has to be page widening posts. Of course some people probably think that's the point of trolling - to piss people off.
How can I block posts by anonymous Cowards??
You forgot all posts adding things forgotten in the post predicting what will be posted.
What about:
