    Make less suck.

    How about built-in drivers for common hardware? Its bout time that there was some Nvidia support in the kernel [this of course, requires slapping nvidia upside the head and make their code fully GPL]

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.

    I looked at computers like that when I was 12. It was fun. Now that I'm a grownup with a life, and bills, and a family, I look at a computer and think, "What can this thing do to make my life easier?" Call me nuts.

    I donate too. I donate to MS as a heartfelt "thanks" for truly making my life easier... For not having to deal with kernels, hardware drivers, slow, buggy windowing environments, or installations that take a week and a half. I "donate" for making a product that really *does* make my life easier, without having to spend years studying esoteric computer crap that has no bearing on my actual life.

  11. still no stable VM by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    At this day and age, why are we wasting time writing a basic stable VM when it's already available in FreeBSD, Solaris, etc. Linux is a waste of time and has set back the computer industry by 10 years reimplementing what's already available.

  13. I Have Relenquished My Linux Duties by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Troll

    Hey gang, Alan Cox here again.

    I wanted to let everyone know that I am discontinuing my work on the Linux TCP/IP stack. After admitting to myself that it sux, I felt I was disservicing the community with my niggardly code.

    I recommend using FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, or even Darwin, which now compiles and runs under x86. The BSD family of OSes all have much better TCP/IP performance than Linux. Solaris is offered by Sun for cost of media for non-commercial uses, as is SCO's OpenServer and Compaq's Tru64 UNIX (formerly Digital Unix, descended from OSF). I'm not sure if these other Unices (Unixes? Unixen?) have better networking performance than Linux, but it'd be hard to imagine that they don't, e.g., I had nothing to do with creating them.

    As much as it pains me to say this, Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 (aka Windows NT 5.0) are great network OSes, with a built-in GUI no less. And as bad as the GUI is in WinNT4 and Win2K, it's a Hell of a lot better than the crusty, poorly-written crap like GNOME and KDE and the window managers avaiable for them.

    In fact, I think even the HURD is a better solution than Linux at this point. Even though it's only released at version .002++d11, its networking scheme blasts Linux's out of the toilet.

    I have to go now, as heavy as my heart is, as it's time for my monthly bath. I hope no one is uber-upset by this news; they shouldn't be, as this is a step forward for Linux. Perhaps without my substandard, slavish attempts at being L33T and defecating code, the kernel and its networking performance will benefit from a real programmer and not a DGH (Dirty GNU Hippy) like me.

    Thank you.
