Fresh off the cob!

[Limburgher]

Of course, I've still got bits stuck between my teeth from the last release. Should have remembered to type 'make toothpick'.

Isn't that just an alias for "make clean"?

Re:Fresh off the cob!

[Limburgher]

No! Common error, though. 'make toothpick' satisfies a dependency for 'make clean'. You can't 'make clean' until you 'make toothpick'. It's just too difficult. :)

Re:Fresh off the cob!

[yroJJory]

Sorry. I guess I ran "make mistake".

Re:Fresh off the cob!

[Limburgher]

That's one way, but I chose to seperate those two targets for code portability. For example, in another app, I 'make toothpick' and 'make moistened_peas' as preparation for 'make little_model_bridge'.

Re:Fresh off the cob!

[gantrep]

Haha, you guys are so funny.
Don't forget the classic:

make love
make: *** No rule to make target `love'. Stop.

Making 'make...' jokes is a sign that you haven't 'make whoopee''d in a long time...

IP Violation

[Anonymous Coward]

But is it SCO free?

Re:IP Violation

[NanoGator]

"But is it SCO free? "

Sign this NDA and I'll tell you.

Re:IP Violation

[Anonymous Coward]

YES!
Old McBride he had some IP
IBIBM
And that IP it was not free
IBIBM

With some SCO code here; Some SCO code there
Here a SCO, there a SCO; Everywhere a SCO SCO

The linux kernel had SMP
IBIBM
And that code was from Project Monterey
IBIBM

The linux kernel had NUMA
IBIBM
Then someone spread rumours
IBIBM

The linux kernel had JFS
IBIBM
And Christoph Hellwig did his best
IBIBM

Old McBride owns none of that
IBIBM
How we'd love to see THAT contract
IBIBM

With a lawsuit here; A counter-suit there
Sue a SCO, sue a SCO; Everybody sue a SCO SCO

Look right here for a link.

What is ESR? It's a company, Environmental Science and Research Ltd

Coincidence?

[Anonymous Coward]

This is announced at the same time we have a poll asking the number of times the OS on your main computer crashes. If this IS "from the crashy-crashy" dept. then I'd have to say this is an interesting coincidence. Or is it?

More hot news!!!

[InfiniteWisdom]

Somebody just submitted a patch!!!! Go download it from the bitkeeper NOW!!!!

We suck.

[caluml]

Current bandwidth utilization 67.69 Mbit/s

Is this all we can do? Is this Slashdot, or what...

Re:Excellent! Time to upgrade..

[caluml]

PHP 5 is being integrated into the 2.6 kernels - should provide a noticable boost for web servers.

Question

[tomstdenis]

I have 2.4.21 installed right now, what branch is 2.6.0 based on?

I'll wait for 2.4.22 :-)

You forgot...

"Remove support for The SCO Group lawsuit"

"Emit mocking laughter when incoming TCP profile matches SCO UNIX"

"Increment World Domination progress meter when incoming TCP profile matches Linux"

This is me while i fight the Linux kernel.

Stereotypical chinese grammar mistakes? Check.

Silly questions meant to start a flame war? Check.

A subtle comment about the great firewall of China, to which most people are against? Check.

Moderators who obviously didn't realized the give-away name "Fu Ling-Yu"? Check, Check.

2.6 is now available in Debian Stable!

[Anonymous Coward]

[This post was made at 13 May 2006]

You know that you're a nerd when....

[sonicattack]

..you actually let out an a reverbing "Aaaah" when you read this kind of headline.

I didn't.

So OK, I did. But I was already running 2.6.0-test1-mm2 with the O9 scheduler patches.

Grrr damned Linus and his timing

[DamnedMouse]

I just finished compiling and rebooted into 2.6.0-test1-bk3 and then went to check kernel.org to see if the 2.4.xx tree had changed to 22 stable and voila there it is -test2 and I was REALLY mad!
But I've compiled -test2 now and I hope it works -test1 did :)

Exactly. This is Slashdot.

[JeanPaulBob]

Meaning only 5% of us actually use Linux.

...Linux Trace Trollkit...

Hmmm, sounds like something that'll be useful around here.

Re:PowerPC?

[Zork the Almighty]

Fly By Night by Rush is terrible.

So what's that got to do with ALSA ?

easter egg from long ago

[devphil]

Some versions would print:

$ make war
make: *** make love, not war

changelog typo

[Tokerat]

• use enun instead of tons of #defines

Does the eNun have to take a vow or is it just pretend like Sister Act? ;-)
(Score: -1, Poster is a Dumbass)

Re:PowerPC?

[G3ckoG33k]

I think that was meant as a general warning - never play anything with Rush. At least I haven't done it, as far as I now. And even if it shouldn't affect ALSA at all, one may better be on the safe side.

Re:I just installed FreeBSD

[rowanxmas]

25MB...the gnu tools

and if you don't install emacs its like 5MB.

Re:2.6.0-test1 was really boring

[isorox]

obviously you never did an "apt-get remove libc6" when you came home drunk one night.

Making 'make...' jokes is a sign that you haven't 'make whoopee''d in a long time...

And using the term "whoopee" is a sign you are 40+ years old.
