Youve Slashdotted Kernel.org!

There is only one reason for this: to make it like the metric prefixes.
Recalleth this olde giokke:
An amateur thinks one kilobyte is 1000 bytes. A computer scientist thinks one kilometre is 1024 metres.
So, the standards bodies are trying to change it to be in line with their prefixes. However, trying to change existing terms to mean something else is not a good idea.
[PATCH] USB: usbcore blinkenlights
The per-port LEDs on the most USB 2.0 hubs are programmable. And the USB spec describes some ways to use them, blinking to alert users about hardware (amber) or software (green) problems.
This patch is the infrastructure for that blinking. And if you should happen to "modprobe usbcore blinkenlights", the LEDs will cycle through all the ports ... which is not a USB-standard mode, but it can certainly handy be handy as a system heartbeat visible across the room.

There will never be a kernel 3. They will start development on the 2.7 branch, and then get stuck trying to reach patchlevel 2.7.182818284590452353602874713527...
Damn straight! Nothing's truly accepted until Sports Illustrated says it is.
