It's actually not emulation, but transport.
ATAPI is actually SCSI, implemented on top of IDE. Remember those parallel port zip drives? They are SCSI over parallel port. SCSI "emulation" simply lets userspace apps talk to the devices in their "native" tounge.
In the case of the Linux kernel we have maintaince and development.
Major changes in structure and systems are made in development, with drivers added as well.
Maintaince is bugfixes and drivers.
That's it.
The reason that 2.5 didn't open sooner is that the 2.4 series was not stable enough for the maintainer's taste. Now that it is, active development (rather than maintaince) will continue.
The preempt patch for pre9 applies cleanly to greased-turkey. I'm running it right now.

I have a tendancy to sit in #debian and try to help people out.
Usually there is someone in the channel that can lend a hand, and as long as you're willing to rtfm you can usually acomplish what you're trying to do.
It's nice to have a network like this where you can safely idle in the channel at work without having to worry about getting an invite to #goatse.cx just as your boss wanders by.
Here's a quote from one of Andera's (author of the new VM) posts on LKML that may interest you:
indeed, the only thing that PE can really change is the mean latency but everbody only cares about worst case latency and nominal performance, possibly except realtime signal processing (not multimedia playback like listening mp3).
You obviously didn't read his website the day the question page was posted.
He claimed right on the front page that he got a kick out of his post being modded down, and had a link. Jeez people, try to do some reading here.
Apple can't stop you from doing anything, so long as you don't give it away.
Steven Poldge (spelled wrong? if so, sorry Steve.) of Epic Games programmed the original Quake bot, the reaper bot. It was a closed source project, and expressly forbid the redistribution of his bot or source code.
This didn't stop people from hacking and re-releasing, especially to fix the infamous QC1.01 "disapearing weapon" bug, but technically, Steven could have sued - and he would have won.
This doesn't mean that in the privacy of your own home you couldn't hack the reaper - or anything else for that matter - yourself and use it for your own personal use, but that dosn't give you the right to distribute it. The same applies to intellectual property.
Yeah, you watched BEFORE you posted so that way you wouldn't have to watch the skipping low bandwith version.
Yay slashdot effect!

bzzzzt... WRONG
Prior to the release of Potato, (the current stable) Potato was testing, Slink was stable, and Sid was unstable - woody hadn't been assigned yet.
you say Using woody in a mission critical server environment would be bad.
Where are you getting this from? Woody testing is usually VERY stable, as all packages that are in woody have been in sid for several weeks prior to their introduction into woody! Also, anyone running Debian in a "mission critical server environment" - Or ANY OTHER operating system - should be subscribed to the appropriate mailing lists. Problems in testing are usually found immediately, and patches released - upgrading involves ONE command as root - Compare that to the fiasco that was Redhat 6.0
There has been discussion of this within the debian developers.
It was pointed out that this is actually unnecessary, as most people will only need CD1 and/or CD2 when woody is finally released.
My primary workstation is running woody, and required a TOTAL of 500mb in the way of packages from debian.org - The extras on the other discs are things like alternate daemons (eg, you have your choice of 3+ sendmail replacements, 2 versions of telnetd, etc.) and are not needed for the typical home user.
Encoding my discs with lame 3.89, vbr (quality set to 1) and joint stereo gives me sound that I can not distinguish from the original - the reason I can't distinguish the joint stereo from real is because I have a subwoofer + satellite setup. JS encodes the bass region as mono. Controlled lab tests show that lame 3.8x+ encodings in this manner are so close to original quality that it requires an ear better than the average sound technician to tell the difference.
Also, just for reference, my VBRs hit 320 when they have to. Weezer's 'Island in the Sun' has an average bitrate of 196kbps on my system.

Drywall has a one-hour burn-through rate for each 1/2 inch, so yes, it would qualify as a fire-wall. The effect is reduced by having things like plastic-coated wires passing through the drywall though. Also, it would need to be properly mudded. ---
