Stable Linux Kernel 2.6.10 Released
An anonymous reader writes "Offering it as 'something to play with over the holidays,' Linus Torvalds released the official 2.6.10 Linux kernel, which he named the 'Woozy Numbat.' KernelTrap offers the full details, noting that there have been minimal changes since the last release candidate, 2.6.10-rc3. Linus commented that with 2.6.10 released, now he could 'get into the
Glögg for real' (a hot mulled wine with spices, red wine, port and brandy). As always, the latest Linux kernel can be downloaded from a kernel.org mirror." (Here are some recipes, too.)
JESUS WAS BORN IN MARCH! CHRISTMAS IS A PAGAN HOLIDAY!
It wouldn't shock me if Jesus was born in March. I believe I spoke of that when in Catholic School. I got hit by a ruler. Not only are dates near the winter solstice common among many cultures, I believe it was an excellent political move to celebrate the birth of Jesus on a holiday that was already in practice.
One of the benefits of the commercialization of Christmas is the fact that one of the important sermons of Jesus can be observed by all, "All men are brothers, love thy neighbor". You don't have to believe in Jesus or even Santa Claus to respect that one time a year many people wish the best for each other regardless. Truth is truth whether it's wrapped in dogma or a white fluffy beard. And perhaps if one day people can set aside their differences we will remember it's actually very nice.
And fuck, someone remind me of this tomorrow.
There is no sanctuary. There is no sanctuary. SHUT UP! There is no shut up. There is no shut up.
