Srinivasan put him at the top of a list, created by LWN.net, of developers who made the most changes in the current development cycle for Linux 3.0. Along with a number of other 'change sets,' Microsoft provided a total of 361 changes, putting it in seventh place on the list of companies and groups that contributed code to the Linux kernel.

    While I agree with you, were you being deliberately ironic in using the word "irregardless" in a subthread introduced by a grammar nazi? "Regardless" or "irrespective" are the words to use, or Thou Shalt Be Disciplined(tm).

    Anyway, IRL, when people say "could care less," I often retort, with a wry smile on my face:

    "Well, I've had so much of the caring sucked out of me, there's no possibility of me caring any less at all."

    I think people get it then, but I'm not really sure.

    It gets a laugh, anyway.

    BTW, if you want to pet peeve over something try "talking out loud". You know, when someone means to say "thinking out loud".
