Linus Retiring from Kernel Dev
looflirpa writes "Here is a post from Linus Torvalds. Seems like he has had enough linux for now, and is searching for a new
leader for the linux kernel development. Certainly a shame, but everybody knew that this
had to happen, sooner or later" This also is your chance to voice who should
take the reins from the kernel's originator.

this is just getting old...
Recursive: Adj. See Recursive.
I hear that he is pretty good at kernel maintenance.

The occasional April Fool's joke is funny, when it's mixed in with real content. But none of the ones posted so far today are funny enough to even stand out from the rest of the lameness.
Wake me up when it's April 2.
Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make them all yourself.
I know I'm not the only one who feels this way and this post is partially redundent, but what ever happened to the art of performing ONE GOOD April Fools day joke that actually has a chance of fooling someone with an IQ over 60?
Having so many April Fool's Day joke references on Slashdot, even if some of them would be good on their own, totaly cancels out the effectiveness of ALL OF THEM, making them just seem completely STUPID. The true joy of a good April's Fool Day joke isn't the perceived 'chortle-cleverness' of an obvious joke, but the reaction of those fooled into believing it. The Slashdot editors have robbed us of seeing any of this type of reaction post by stupidly linking to every semi-geek April Fool's Day joke on the web.
Next year how about one good April Fool's Day joke that is Slashdot specific and that might be somewhat ridiculous but also is somewhat in the realm of possibility, followed by a 'Quickie' post containing the good geeky April Fool's Day jokes from around the web on April 2nd?
No...no, it wasn't, actually.

...CmdrTaco gets the absolute shit beaten out of him by disgruntled readers. He should of listened to his audience when they complained of the uselessness of the fourth April Fools article, but Taco preceeded to post an addition twenty-three articles.
Good quote, too many chars. Seriously, the slashdot 120 char limit sucks!
I don't see what you people are complaining about..
All the articles posted today are right on par quality-wise with the articles posted every other day!
I just wasted your mod points! HA!
Come on! If there was a real story out here today no one would believe it!
Please (o, please!) hand the April 1 Fooling to the trolls. Malda should contract the foolin' out next year to the /. trolls of his choice - that would be funny and cool. Unlike this year.

IMHO, on April Fools Day, where you can't post anonymous, should be the one day where you can get Score:5, Insightful for at first posting.
I agree
:)
You know it's April Fools when:
90%+ of the Slashdot stories are posted by CmdrTaco, who doesn't know when to shut up.
Maybe he doesn't realize why the other editors aren't getting in on his l337 fooling action.
Sometimes it seems like this site is run by a two-year-old with a lollipop.
Not that I have any right to complain, as I am not a subscriber
No, no, no. We all know it should be Monkey Boy - if he codes like he dances then his style will fit right in with the rest of the OSS junk.
Of course it's a fake. They traced it to Rik van Riel's IP.
Kill, Tux, kill!
BSD is about to die! They only have 7000 users! ;-)
