Operational Testing of Linux Kernel 2.5.x

G3ckoG33k writes "The Open Source Development's Lab has begun operational testing of the 2.5.x Kernel: "The staff at OSDL has been involved with development and testing of 2.5 since the beginning and we've noticed that it seems to be very stable for a development tree. So good, in fact, that we think it is ready to be tested in a production environment. We have planned and begun execution of a project to test the 2.5 kernel in our data center using our production environment. The project includes lots of testing and lots of escape hatches so we don't run recklessly off the edge. We began with some of the simpler, less critical servers and, as we build confidence, are moving to the more complex servers. Today we have several servers running 2.5 and within a month we'll have most of the data center migrated to 2.5." Can anyone say Dare Devils?"

    I like to grab my balls until they turn blue. Then I swat them with a fly swatter. After that I put icy-hot on my balls and shaft and it gives them a hot burning sensation

    I just don't understand how people moderate the above post as "insightful"... it is "informative". Do you not know the meanings of the words?

    Moderators use Flamebait, Troll and Overrated as one big -1, and Insightul, Interesting and Informative as one big +1...

    Brillo Boy

    I am a 24/7 male sex slave for Mistress Linda. She does not allow me to have sex with her. My main duties are to allow her to inflict pain on me. She allows me to masturbate only when she is present and she is sitting on my face.

    About a month ago, Mistress Linda was very mad with me, as I did not finish washing the dishes. She tied me up and really slapped and whipped my penis. She then got a brillo pad, lubricated my ass well, and inserted this wire thing up my ass. It was very painful.

    Next, she got this injector thing and some Tabasco sauce. She sucked up some of it into this injector, and then proceeded to inject it into the tip of my penis. It was the most painful thing, I begged her to stop. She just laughed and then used a penis pump on me.

    She then tried to pull out the brillo pad. But it was stuck.

    Linda took me to the hospital, where they removed it. They called the police. I did not press any charges and told them it was mutual. The doctors told us to be careful.

    Flamebait and troll are identical moderations. There is actually no moderation for someone who starts spewing abuse at another user. It should be called "flame" not "flamebait". Flame is when you dish it out. Flamebait is when you are asking for it.

    Not quite correct. A "flamebait" is a subcategory of troll. A troll is any post that's attempting to provoke a predictable set of responses, but those responses need not be flames. If you post some types of misinformations (like a popular urban legend), for instance, you can predictably provoke calm, rational refutations. The easiest type of predictable response is a flame, though, so trolling for flames is the most commonly observed variety.

    That said, you're absolutely correct that the moderation should be "-1 Flame" rather than "-1 Flamebait". I suppose that most flames are also effectively trolls for counterflames, though.
