Linux Kernel 2.6.35 Released
eldavojohn writes "Linus has announced the release of 2.6.35 for people to download and test after he found not a lot of changes between this week and last. The big features to look out for include: 'Transparent spreading of incoming network traffic load across CPUs, Btrfs improvements, KDB kernel debugger frontend, Memory compaction and Support for multiple multicast route tables' as well as various performance and graphics improvements. Linus also praised the community saying that 'regression changes only' after rc1 improved this time around and gave numbers to back it up saying 'in the 2.6.34 release, there were 3800 commits after -rc1, but in the current 35 release cycle we had less than 2000.' Good to see the process is becoming more refined and controlled after the first release candidate — hopefully there's no impending burnout."
2010 will be the year of Linux on the desktop. Eat that M$ and Crapple.
Wow. The future has arrived.
Way to double-check your article, Timothy.
Pick a language and dive right in. If you are proficient in as many languages as you state, then learning "modern" languages will be no problem. Especially if you are familiar with Pascal, which structurally is very similar to the languages you want to learn.
C++, PHP, Java, C# and Javascript are all related structured programming languages, and primarily differ in minor syntax, class definition, data types and strictness.
For example, the C code:
if (++i > 10) {
j+=5;
i=0;
}
will execute as-is in all 5 of the languages I mentioned (PHP would have $ signs in front of variable names). So if you are familiar with C, or even Pascal, then you already understand a good portion of modern languages.
"HTML5" - HTML, CSS and Javascript (and throw in PHP for server-side), would represent the largest departure from what you have done in the past, due to the tremendous amount of segregation between what runs on the server versus what happens in the browser. To some extent the entire thing will seem like a big hack, and to a large extent that's what it is.
Still, my point is that if you were able to become proficient over such a wide variety of languages in the past, then you will not have any problem today, especially since many of the modern languages are quite similar.
I believe you forgot to wave your hand before your post. *Waves hand* "This is not the droid...err...thread you're looking for" Sorry, couldn't resist ;)

There's champagne that's drinkable after 200 years. Until the troll passes the century mark, I'm not going to consider it as even coming close to having been aged.

"Christian or Buddhist"? Kind of sounds like an odd dichotomy...

Support contracts for *ANYTHING* cost money...
I even mentioned that you can buy commercially supported versions of open source software, i suggest you read the post again. Hint: it's the second paragraph.
The difference is that open source gives you the choice, you can get the software free and self support, you can pay for support, you can even pay for the software if you choose, and there are often multiple sources you can buy support from. Proprietary software takes away these choices, you have to pay for the software, in most cases you then have to pay *AGAIN* for support, and only the original supplier has the source code so only they can provide an adequate level of support.
Use of the term "open sores" is laughable, and no better than those who refer to Microsoft as M$.
Also, your use of "you're" makes no sense, did you mean to write "your" instead? As it stands, what you wrote reads as "You are stuff is no longer really free....", print yourself a t-shirt and you can earn a place on engrish.com.
The word "cost" is spelled "c o s t", the "$" symbol is not a letter, it represents a form of currency, or denotes variables in some kinds of programming. And i can see that your "s" key is not broken because you've used the letter "s" in other places.
Over all, a very poor troll. I feel insulted to be trolled by you.
