You are assuming people are changing their mind and yelling first one thing, then the other. Perhaps it is just two separate groups with conflicting interests?
An assistant that always goes "Ook? Ook!" might not be very helpful to most users.
Slightly off-topic, but not entirely: Watch the japanese movie "Shall we dance". A great movie about dance, life and the joy of both.
Some people are waiting for their distros to ship 2.6, but I think 2.4 is works for most users, there is no urgent need to upgrade. This doesn't mean 2.6 won't be a success, I am sure it will be, but I think it means we have left the 'revolution' and joined the 'evolution'.
I feel old when you mention the Z80. 16 bit adressing was mostly done with the HL register, which was a kombination of two 8-bit registers (H and L).
This is slashdot, so we use american standards like "Library of Congress" and "Swimming Pool".
I misread that as "I'm NEVER buying a beer from DeBeers' ever again". Maybe I should stop drinking?
Never attribute to malevolence what you can explain by simple stupidity.
