    ..really any point upgrading? 2.6 should be out in a couple of weeks.

      Your assumptions here seem to be more like guesses, you obviously don't follow the kernel development particularly closely, nor test pre releases, 2.6.0-test10 fuctioned perfectly well for me in my test environment, but I haven't tried 2.6.0-test11 yet so you could have a point, but I don't think so. I don't think you're on top of your game.

  2. Decimal literals in the code? by Thinkit3 · · Score: -1, Troll

    I read around 1/5th of the literals are decimal. Decimal has no place in computer code (unless you're coding bowling scores). It should be nearly all hexadecimal. Have there ever been strictly cosmetic changes to the source (like renaming variables)? This would be a good one.

    In Soviet Russia, all your kernel update notices are belong to slashdot posters who complain about whether or not kernel update notices are front page worthy! Oh yeah, and HOT GRITS!

    Now, before you mod me down, ask yourself if anything more insightful than the above is going to get posted on this thread.

    Okay, now mod me down.

    Fascinating! A lot to learn there.

    Did you know 1009 was a prime number? I now have that privilege.

    The parent should be modded ... Insightful, I guess.

    This is a private web site, ASSWIPES. If the editors want to call Debian users up on their molasses-like development pace, then they have that right. If YOU cocksuckers don't like it, go post somewhere else. By the fact that you talk shit but you don't back it up by LEAVING, it appears that talking shit is all you're able to do.

  9. Re:2.6 was a great improvement for me by raynet · · Score: 0, Troll

    I've noticed that even with 2.6 kernel my Linux just dies when execute couple fork bombs. But Windows 2000 doesn't die on them. After 20-30 opened windows it says that there isn't any resources left and I can logout and then continue working. It seems that Win2k is great improvement for me..
