Linus Torvalds On Linux 2.6
ceebABC writes "Linus Torvalds talks about the upcoming Linux 2.6 kernel, in an interview with eWEEK. Linus discusses the scalability and memory management in the new kernel. They also have a story about what's supposed to be in Linux 3.0."
Soon as I saw the story on the front page I knew what awaited inside. Hundreds of posts from zitty geeks trying to be punker-than-thou by coming up with ever-more-obscure namedropping to make up for their lack of real style (or to pretend that they are actually old enough to have been involved). Drop the pretension kiddos. We all know that your Blink 182 CD is older than your copy of Bollocks.
I love how a whole new level of conformity has been created by the average bozo's efforts at individuality. It might almost work if your personal definition of individuality didn't depend so heavily on how you present yourself to others. I mean, what's the sense of being into bullshit like [insert pseudo-non-mainstream hobby here] if you can't talk about it to make yourself superior to your peers?
Kinda sounds like the Linux crowd, huh? "I'm so ALTERNATIVE by patching my kernel every day while you brainwashed Windows sheep meander in unenlightened tedium." Funny to think that if you had back all the time you spent tweaking and patching (for no good reason other than to say you have the latest version), you wouldn't know what to do with the workstation on your desk.
*sigh*
excuse the rant. caffiene has yet to be digested.
What do Linux hippies use for birth control?
A) Nothing, kleenex don't get pregnant
B) Their personalities
C) Whatever it is, their mom should have used it.
There's no wrong answer!!!
I guess we should all give a round of applause for Steve "WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!" Ballmer.
Somebody a little grouchy this morning? :)
pls reply to me. thx
AOL is on version 8, so it must be better than Linux version 3.
Because I'm good enough, I'm strong enough, and gosh darnit, people like me.
Oh, and I'm not such a wimp that I post as AC, I have the courage to post under an anonymous pseuodonym, thank you.
Best Windows Freeware
Ive hurd it has got support for partitions up to 1.5 gb now, and it supports 256 color vga displays, as well as beta support for the pci bus (only isa was supported up until now) ,
I don't have a reply to your comment, but I did notice something interesting. Compare his name with Linux:

Four out of five matches!!! Of course, I'm a pretty big word geek, nobody else probably noticed this little bit of trivia. Kind of makes you wonder if he was named after Linux.
Sex - Find It
Ahh, only if I had some mod points. Beutiful, brings a tear to my eye. You don't mind if I print it out and frame it do you?
Supporting World Peace Through Nuclear Pacification
I checked all available news sites and can't verify this. I'm no Stephen King fan but if you post stuff like this you better damn well be right.
More like the #4752899th post (or whatever #1 is called nowadays)

Wah!
Is version 2.6 as good as version 7.3 of Redhat Linux? How come Linus Linux is so many versions behind Redhat Linux?
Is that a real poncho? I mean, is that a Mexican poncho or is that a Sears poncho?
"WANT TO BUY ILLEGAL DRUGS ONLINE? - EDRUGTRADER.COM!"
Yeah, I know, "free speech," Slashdot's Revisionist reputation, what have you..
But it really pisses me off every time I see this sig. I read Slashdot almost exclusively at school (college, fortunately. Not a zero-tolerance high-school.) on the job as a student tutor. The last thing I need is for someone to see this sig over my shoulder and complain to my boss that one of his employees is viewing questionable material in public.
Add to that the fact that this is a Community (i.e. public school system) college, and you realize that many of the people around me have only recently been introduced to computers and the use of the Internet.
Yeah, I hate censorship. So I politely ask edrugtrader to change his sig, at least in a way that makes it less noticable (like removing the bold tag...italics is fine, IMHO). Otherwise, it's about as welcome as SPAM.
Serious.. like nobody falls for this one.
And you took it, hook line and sinker.
hehehe
Blessed are those who mouth off about a business model while remaining ignroant of the fact that service is a lucrative business model in many instances.
It's been a long time.
Actually, I really don't like porn at all. I spend on average 10 minutes a day doing maintenance on the site, and that's it. Trust me, you see 10,000 or so pairs of tits & asses, and after that, they're all the same. Same thing for software, as far as I'm concerned. Oooh, look, another program that boots my computer. Oooh, yet another word processor. Wow. Ooooh, another web browser. It just sounds like the original poster may have some unhealthy obsession or worship type of thing going on... kinda creepy.
If you get good enough karma, all posts start at 2 unless you specifically tell it not to include the +1 bonus, like this one.
Slashdot: Where people pretend to be twice as smart as they really are by behaving like children.
Yet you have no problem with the karma joke in your sig?
As it says in my sig, I really was the first to put my "obfuscated" karma in my sig. Initially I had it tracking my real karma (though it was pretty consistently "Excellent"), then for a short time I had a joke, and then when I noticed how popular Karma: sigs had become, I decided to claim my rightful place as the inventor.
Karma: Good (despite my invention of the Karma: sig)
