Linux 2.6 Kernel Pool Results

Posted by michael on from the lowered-expectations dept.

jafo writes "Steve Ratcliffe, Master Software Project Estimator, has most correctly estimated the release of the Linux version 2.6 kernel. On January 6, 2001 (within 4 hours of when the 2.6 kernel pool was opened), he entered a guess which was accurate within 15 hours. Check the results for some interesting statistics and submit your guess for the 2.8 pool." See the original story if you like.

      er... if he put in a guess in the last week then pr0p5 to the b17ch, otherwise STFU, 2.6.x doesn't matter when people use:

      1. the windows.NT.6.x kernal for desktop use

      2. the BSD basis for server use

      Linux was a nice idea, but it is too flawed for desktop or server usage.

    I know this is completely offtopic, but there's a bug in the new OSDN toolbar adorning Slashdot's pages: the X to close it doesn't work (a bad bit of code; 404s).

    Probably not the right place to mention it, but there you go.

    IN your bra? WTF do you not understand that we're all geeks here? We can download countless media with girls OUT of their bras, in a variety of formats, hell we can choose ethnicity, age, hair colour, eye colour, USE YOUR HEAD.

    I just saw an add for 'Slashdot Personals' ( http://www.osdn.com/personals ). It must be a unique business idea to have a huge database specialized on fat men with suspenders and beard.
