Linux Guru Alan Cox Takes A Year Off
An anonymous reader writes "Linux guru Alan Cox is taking a year off from RedHat and kernel development to get his MBA. For years, Alan Cox has maintained the extremely stable 2.2 Linux kernel, and more or less been Linux creator Linus Torvalds' right hand man. Now it sounds like the 2.2 kernel is up for grabs to someone who is 'good at refusing patches and being ignored'..."
Oh, I'm a Republican
I got a small schling
I like to bomb niggahs
and make a lot o' bling
I got a bunch o' friends
in high up places
They helps me get dem
government graces.
Don't need no history
Don't need no schoolin'
I got my ideology
To keep me a shootin'
I fancy myself
A brilliant tactician
But neither me nor m'buddies
Could even pass basic trainin'
See, I'm above all that
A fightin' and shootin'
I just say "Sic em!"
Then run the other direction
Liberals! Faggots!
Commies and queers!
Socialist hippies
Full o' pussy tears!
You think I'm smart
I just know who's who
I couldn't run a fruit stand
without the red white & blue
I'll drop some crap
about Jesus the Christ
You'll buy it all
and vote for me twice
'Fact, Jesus is comin'!
Real soon, now!
So we gotta prop up Israel
That ol' sacred cow
Propaganda's m'friend
But I calls it "fact"
Even though I don't read
'Cept for Chick tracts
Facts? No! Don't need em here!
We're conservatives! We work on FEAR!
Don't like what we say?
Well FUCK YOU, bud!
We'll shove it down yer throat
and tell ya it's good!
you are a troll
That's where to future of Linux seems to be -- a court room.
Its really not a big deal at all. He just basically has the final say on which bugfixes go into the "official" codebase.
If you ran 2.2, you'd know that there are dozens upon dozens of diffs that you have to manually apply and then rebuild the kernel. Cox basically hasn't been doing his "job" in a long time, but hey, you get what you pay for.
I hope that MBA gets him a nice sweet gig managing a 7-11 or something.
I don't need no instructions to know how to rock!!!!
Somebodies asking for trouble
Yea! Just look at how well all those MBA's are running the companies in America!!!
The parent was being sarcastic. How did you add to the discussion dickbreath? lol
