NO MORE BLOOD FOR OIL
Cmndrtacco reports that Linus Torvalds predicts 2.6 will be out by June next year in a brief snippet of HTML on his Geek Site. In a snide editorial soliloquoy, Tacco adds,
"Linus called the next release '2.6', but knowing him that may be just a working title;)"

No, You people disgust me. Why is Israel teetering on war? Democracy. Palestinians don't like Western influence in the middle east, but Westerners sure like to give all they can. You sir, are a moron.

why can't i make you on my foes list.
someday, when nerds rule the world and microsoft has fallen, You will be the idiot who can't install linux and will crawl to us. Even if the earth is one flat patch of dirt.
and for clarification, I don't play RPGs, I have a JOB. I don't watch anime, I have a LIFE. The souls of the victims are laughing their asses off because of how much you think your voice is better spent on flaming us who find it enjoyable to read these kind of news stories.

What's the point of using acronyms when you have to type out the whole phrase anyways?
Get it right...
What a bunch of fucking retards. Everyone gets trolled so easily nowadays.
but you bet 2.6 will only be stable in 2004 (maybe 2005), when Linux will be completely replaced by BSD's (including OSX) and Windows XX (where XX is an acronym microsoft will use in 2004).
Also, expect Debian to use it as the default kernel in 2012.
Does he actually take care of any real development? I thought he was only taking care of PR and concentrating the merits of several developers for his own use.
Oh, I forgot there are brownoses like rob who think Linus is the re-incarnation of God, who claims to be "the engineer", while "the philosopher" RMS has written at least one degree of magnitude more code than him...
Damn, I guess this whole "Open Source"/GPL stuff is getting more and more about egos. I guess I won't stay away from my OpenBSD box.
niggers using linux. oh just what they need.
