    Remember, any bug you find that you don't report is likely to not be fixed in the next release if you don't report it.

    Time for some homebrew babelfish

    Translation: Any bug you don't report (But hundreds of others will) might not be fixed, that is, if you don't report it!

    geeze :P slashdot is replacing fark for the laugh factor

  2. Payment? by alien_blueprint · · Score: 5, Funny

    Great!

    But before I download this, where do I pay my SCO licensing fee?

      It appears that any kernel version 2.6 is royalty free, since SCO has only claimed IP in 2.4 and 2.5. so go wild.

      No, I found sco in the changelog... so it's only a matter of time before payments are required. It's gonna cost big.

      Various schemes failed; immediately deregistering while in the diSCOnnect routine causes crashes because the videodev layer sets some ..
      stack, and which had gone out of SCOpe. ..

      Maybe this means they will reduce the price for licensing 2.4 kernels to $499, and charge the $699 for the 2.6 kernels, making 2.4 affordable to most people. I bet they are even nice enough to let you upgrade your 2.4 license to a 2.6 license for only $399. Thank god SCO has been so understanding during this time of potential IP infringement.

      Think I will go buy some of their stock now. Surely if they go with this type of licensing of Linux, it will generate lots of good will in the community.

    If found a bug, by you it is, report it you must, or fixed not it will be. This I sense in the Force. Chances you must take not, that reported by others it is, such a bug. Vigilant always, a kernel tester must be.

    (For those of you who report "Jedi" as your faith on the Census).
