No 2.7 Linux Kernel Branch Due Soon
An anonymous reader writes "At the fourth annual Linux Kernel Developers Summit, it was decided that there won't be a 2.7 Linux kernel development branch any time soon. Instead, Linux creator Linus Torvalds and the official 2.6 maintainer Andrew Morton have decided to continue working as a team, further enhancing the 2.6 kernel. Up to this point, kernels ending in an odd number (2.1, 2.3, 2.5, etc) were considered development kernels, and kernels ending in an even number (2.2, 2.4, 2.6, etc) were considered stable kernels. However, according to this KernelTrap article, active development will now continue in the mainline 2.6 tree, and the final stabilization will be left up to the companies that provide Linux distributions."
This always confused me with the damn Star Wars films. For example, you could say, "we are going to the city of Camelot," and in formal English, this means you are going to a city, which is called Camelot.
But the moon they go to in Return of the Jedi is "the forest moon of Endor". You'd expect this to mean a forest moon, which is called Endor. But this isn't the case. The planet was Endor, and it had a forest moon. The moon itself didn't have a name.

Perhaps falling music sales have nothing to do with file sharing...
The RIAA, in its quest to rid the world of file sharers, p2p networks and MP3s are keen to blame as much as they can on "evil" file sharers and p2p networks, and sue companies and people left, right and center often citing falling music sales as "evidence" file sharing is damaging their industry.
But has it actually occurred to anyone that maybe the reason for falling music sales over the last few years is because most of the "artists" these record companies have signed are absolutely sh1t?
1. Use dd to make spare copies of the raw disk.
2. Try what you did, on one copy, for a day.
3. Buy support from the Reiserfs folks.
