Linus Says Pre-2.6 is Coming
gomoX writes "As seen on C|Net , Linus has announced that the pre-2.6 series will be starting in early July. Despite not having been able to meet the release goal for 2.6 in June 2003, the next stable version is not as far away as you may think. You can take your guess based on the fact there was a 9 month period between first test version of 2.4 and the official release of 2.4.0 on January 2001."

I don't think an OS X release equates to a Darwin release, and OS X of course doesn't run on Intel hardware.

I know this is kind of off the topic but could someone tell me if Slashdot has message boards, or just these comments. I'm trying to find some answer for some random question I have regarding a carreer in technology and some question on my network here at home. Maybe I'm blind but I can't seem to find any message boards on the site to ask my questions. If Slashdot doesn't have any message boards then could someone recommend some message boards where true techs hang out? Thanks
Matt on my sexuality.
I think of my sexuality as a continuum. Sometimes my sexual selves seem to break into disparate elements and they mill about in my brain. Mostly they are a friendly cooperative group, occasionally they get rambunctious and shove and pull each other trying to grab the focus of my inner eye shouting "Me! Me!"
They were damnably pushy during one of the times when my only sexual expression was masturbating. (Not an inglorious confession, most men and women have lived those days. Perhaps there are a few talented masturbators - geniuses of masturbation - who really do prefer solitary sex to the presence of a flesh and blood body. Vide the folks at Jackinworld.)
Masturbation ( - pity all the synonyms are so dorky or quaint: the sin of Onan, really? - ) for real pleasure requires a nicety and fixity of the imagination. I bet even monosexual people have trouble coming to grips with just the right person to fantasize about. Which woman with the right shape of breast and curve of hips? Which man with the right kind of cock? More humanely, which face? Given a bias towards minor specialties you may need a certain shape of leg.
And if you like all the genders (not just the big two), any act, any role including dominating and submitting, electing and abiding with the fantasy person of the moment isn't easy, the fantasy just won't cohere. (Not there aren't times when shifting through the possibilities ends in a happy orgasm.)
When I wrote earlier the birth of appreciation of Femdom I forgot a key element. Masturbating as a teen my fantasies included dates, getting to know the person - yeah, I was drippily romantic from the beginning. Many years later finding myself masturbating again I thought including romance creepy, pathetic. Sex as a power exchange was an escape from that. (Not that I don't know that BDSM and love don't preclude one another.
The quotation was all I had when I started this entry. Instead of writing about the joys of pansexuality I wound up with masturbation. Good, masturbation is one of the few topics I don't remember seeing much about it weblogs. Admitting to it probably seems admitting to weakness. How else are you going to have sex with your favorite Calvin Klein or Victoria's Secret model (rock star or whatever)? I'd invite you to share your masturbatory life with me but I wouldn't want to you blush with shame from the commonness of your fantasy or from your timidity.
When I started this entry I'd expected to write more in the vein of choosing your sexuality. More on masturbation: Wanking. Continued after a fashion in: Alien sex experiment.
and this should be modded down.
Can't believe I've been a windows user since year 3.1 and never even noticed that!!!
1998 called. They want their joke back.
FUCK. I figured that'd be modded down. Shoulda posted with my real account... Already have excellent karma, but I'd like to take credit for 5's when they're mine. Posting AC now because taking credit for AC's is so lame....
Could the parent be an automated reply from an MS or SCO spam bot?
I've seen most of this shit before just with different wording sounds like a clone of this www.alicebot.org/ oops!
Don't rock the boat............
OH THE SHAME I fell off the wagon and use sigs again!
I know this is off-topic, but bite me, I need to get this off my chest.
The frat boys are starting to piss me off. You know who I'm talking about. The "Linux sucks, MS is the way to go" frat boys. Typical frat boy mentality; anything with an alternative air is for losers and hippies; those that are with it run what everyone else runs.
Their arguments would have made sense, two or three years ago. But Linux and associated software has matured, and is ready for the desktop. But the frat boys whine, "oh, it's so hard to install a printer." "Oh, my modem wasn't recognized". "Oh, I've got work to do now, I can't wait for Linux to get there." "OS hippies." Bunch of closeted, repressed homos.
Yeah, Linux can be tough sometimes, but the payoff is great. No more viruses. No more MS. No more BSOD's. No more nancy boy OS. Actual security. A real OS. It's worth it, frat boys, but you won't know that until everyone else runs it, and then you'll get it. Until then, you'll run what everyone else in your idiotic, unthinking clique runs, get viruses and worms, re-install every 6 months, and cast scorn on the open source 'hippies'.
Fuckwits. They pissed me off when I was in school, and they piss me off now. Go back to your sales reports and your power ties, and let those who get it help change the computing world for the better without your infantile mockery.
Fact : SCO is growing
It is official; CNET News.com confirms: SCO is growing One more exciting bombshell hit the already jubilant SCO community when IDC confirmed that SCO market share has increased yet again, now up to more than 99 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of a recent CNET News.com survey which plainly states that SCO has gained more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. SCO is emerging as the most popular operating system in the world, as fittingly exemplified by coming in first in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Darl McBride to predict SCO's future. The hand writing is on the wall: SCO is looking at an exciting future. In fact there won't be any future at all for any other operating system because SCO is growing. Things are looking very good for SCO. As many of us are already aware, SCO continues to gain market share. Black ink flows like a river of valuable crude oil.
OpenServer is the most popular of them all, having gained 93% of the core Linux developers. The sudden and pleasant arrivals of long time Red Hat developers only serves to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: SCO is growing.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
The SCO developers state that there are 9.4 billion users of SCO. How many users of other operating systems are there? Let's see. The number of SCO versus all other posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 billion to 1. Therefore there are appears to be a small band of about 14 users of other operating systems anywhere. None of them posts on Usenet with any of the volume of SCO posts. Therefore they are only really equivalent to about 7 users of non-SCO operating systems anyway. On the other hand, a recent article put SCO at about 99.999996 percent of the worldwide computing market. Therefore there are no clueful users of any other operating system anyway. This is consistent with the expectations given in Darl McBride's Wet Dream For A New World of Stolen (But Ours) Technology, published in 2003.
Due to the rousing successes of SCO, frighteningly good sales and so on, SCO has decided to expand again and has sued to acquire Slashdot, who sell another insignificant OS. Now Slashdot has at least a little chance to survive, thanks to the generosity of SCO.
All major surveys show that SCO has steadily grown in market share. SCO is very healthy and its long term prospects for owning everything on the planet through legal action are excellent. If SCO is actually not used by any one group out there, it is likely not used among fat monkeys with BO. SCO continues to excel. Nothing short of an act of God (who stole SCO's technology anyway) could stop its meteoric rise at this point in time. For all practical purposes, SCO owns you, too.
