2.6 and 2.7 Release Management

An anonymous reader writes: "A recent discussion on the Linux kernel mailing list debated whether the upcoming 2.6 and 2.7 kernels should be released at the same time instead of first stabilizing the 2.6 'stable tree' then branching the 2.7 'development tree.' The theory behind the proposition is to keep "new" things from going into 2.6 once it is released, focusing instead only on making it stable. On the flip side of this argument is the possibility that with a 2.7 kernel in development, there will be too little focus on stabilizing the 2.6 kernel. The resulting debate makes for an interesting read."

    I once saw a mustard bottle that was shaped like a ketchup bottle.

    No, really!

    I'm burning karma pointlessly, and no one will read this anyway.

    I didn't mind having respectable karma when it was just a number (hell, I whored my little ass off to get there), but I refuse to be associated with the word "Good". I think it would feel much better to be "Bad".

    So, this is me, falling slowly (or not so slowly) back into the comfortable 0-5 karma range. I'll probably dip down into -1 for a while just for the hell of it. Back in the day, I was a pretty good troll.

    Oh, and by the way, fuck all this troll grouping shite. I'm sure it's nice to have something to mindlessly blather on about and poison your .sigs with, but it's getting stupid.

    Whatever happened to the art of trolling? The whole idea is to prove that your takers are fools, not to annoy them. Crapflooding, PWP, and all that were sometimes funny, oftentimes creative, but now it's all old hat, isn't it? Nobody even tries for a bite anymore.

    Trolling was once a noble, intellectual game. Now it's just a bunch of fuckwits copying and pasting.

    Lame.

    Is that trolls are really good at getting the first five to 10 posts all to themselves. But then karma whores swoop in pretty fast right after that. Where are all the follow up trolls?

      Us trolls are mostly either scripts that constantly reload the page and post when something new shows up, or we're lifeless wankers that sit here doing that ourselves.

      The karma whores are the ones that are out there driving expensive sports cars and having wild anal sex with beautiful women. These are the ones that wrapped your underwear around your head during gym class yesterday.

      Just a note, Windows 2000 GUI crashes an average of 6 times every 6 hours in my experience,

      Nice math their buddy, that is called once an hour....

      Granted I had Windows 2000 core dump on me ~10-12 times yesterday (w00t) and another good 3 or 4 unexplained crashes, but that is all because I have managed to fuck up the DirectX sub layer to hell and well, err, heh;

      when it IS running properly (which it will be as soon as I manage to find the install disks. ^_^ ) it has very long uptimes, though it is awfully dependent on what you are doing. After the first 3 or 4 hundred program installs/uninstalls things to tend to, err, get a bit cluttered, heh.

      Then again I would like to see you do that many program installs in as short a time on a *nix box. :-D

      Bah, what am I saying, dependencies suck period, no matter what OS you are on. :(

      Oh, and the *nixs DO have a shitty ass GUI system, seriously, there needs to be a BIG effort to ditch X and get a real system underneath that, technology has advanced a lot in the intervening years since X came out, hell, just the pure CS theory stuff has advanced a good deal, for crying out loud, come up with a better system. Or at least a more coherent one. It has taken MS how long and how many revisions/API changes to get even a /somewhat/ understandable API running underneath things? Hell, if even MS can admit that GUI APIs are a not going to be gotten right the first time, certainly the OpenSource community can admit to the same thing and do it again until it IS gotten right. Yes it would be a lot of work, but it would be worth it. (and had somebody started back in 1999 or so it might be nearly complete by now....)
