Linus Pooh-Pooh's Real-Time Patch
An anonymous reader submits "Speaking with CNet via email, Linus Torvalds appears to be in no hurry to accept the latest real-time patches from embedded specialist MontaVista into the mainstream kernel, at least not "at this time." Nontheless, MontaVista's new open-source real-time Linux project could broadly expand commercial opportunities for the open source OS, especially in telecom initially, where real-time Linux will likely play on "both ends of the wire." For example, Linux is already making progress in smartphones."
Not exactly real time response here.
I guess Linus does not realize the full potential of what real time functionality can do to Linux.
Yes, I'm sure he has no idea...

Gen. Melchett: Is this true, Blackadder? Did Captain Darling pooh-pooh you?
... by pooh-pooh!
Cpt. Blackadder: Well, perhaps a little.
Gen. Melchett: Well then, damn it all, how much more evidence do you need? The pooh-poohing alone is a court-martial offence!
Cpt. Blackadder: I can assure you, sir, that the pooh-poohing was purely circumstantial.
Gen. Melchett: Well, I hope so, Blackadder. You know, if there's one thing I've learned from being in the army, it's never ignore a pooh-pooh. I knew a major: got pooh-poohed; made the mistake of ignoring the pooh-pooh -- he pooh-poohed it. Fatal error, because it turned out all along that the soldier who pooh-poohed him had been pooh-poohing a lot of other officers, who pooh-poohed their pooh-poohs. In the end, we had to disband the regiment -- morale totally destroyed
and that it will give high priority tasks all the time they need.
DOS did this back in the 80's....
First we had a post on Hibernate with no explanation. Then a post on OQO and now we have one on 'Linux'. When will the madness end?!?!? ;)
Sooo.. Linus is real-time, but Linux is not.

What kind of smooth-it-over headline is this? Poo Poo? If this were Bill Gates instead of Linus, we'd say he's "blatantly ignoring", "throwing aside", "totally dismissing". But Poo Poo??

Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress at this period in history.
I am almost sure that Linus stated policy on IP violations is to not give a flying fuck till someone bitches.
People throw around bloat with great abandon, and usually without any real rationale behind the term.
My OS is full-featured. Yours has feature creep. His is bloated.
