  1. Re:IBM... on HP Announces Support For MySQL, JBoss · · Score: 1

    May I know little about the Linux kernel but some motherboard at work required a driver that comes with a newer kernel than we use. And I had recompiled other drivers so them works with our kernel. I'm talking just the standard Redhat 8.0 kernel.
    So to me looks that some drivers source come within the kernel or are in the source tree at least which doesn't make sense for a network card. And drivers who doesn't aren't even binary compatible between kernel versions. May be some Linux hacker could explain this to me very very slowly so I can understand this or what I'm doing wrong.

    The open source community generally doesn't like the idea of having to buy a new printer every time there's a new kernel update

    But having to upgrade the kernel to use a new driver is allright? Why should drivers come with the kernel anyway?

    This is the most extremely stupid comment I have read so far on this story.
    Do you really want those things running amok where you live? Have you ever used a computer? This is the same as the ed209 robot in Robotcop that kill the executive because it doesn't get he's not armed.
    What you are talking would lead exactly to The Second Variety, a short story by Philip K. Dick the same writer the original short story of Minority Report on which the movie is based. You better read it before dooming all.

    I don't know what corruption are you talking about, but Saddam was at last leting them get to things. Probably for fear of invasion, but the investigation was advancing anyway. That was not the point to force the war.
    What those "certain" soldiers say is that was the procedure they were told to follow. And the news are that Guantanamo may be even worst.
    After a war? I don't think the war is over right now. I think that whatever Iraq becomes (democracy paradise, religious dictatorship, etc) it will not be a friend of USA.
    Your sarcasm is welcome, but take note that the accused part are those that supposedly are given Iraq freedom, human rights and democracy.
