The worst game I have ever played was a footy game with Ryan Giggs' face plastered all over it called 'Ryan Giggs' Super Soccer' or some such shite. It was clearly coded by a bunch of drunken stoats and never even approached a state of completion.
The game was hideous graphically (they couldn't even get the Welsh flag correct), totally inaccurate, and incredibly easy. The worst bit was the AI though; the ball was just followed around the pitch by all 20 players, and at free kicks the defenders formed a wall ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE ATTACKING PLAYER including the goalkeeper.
The game was released for the Sega Megadrive in the mid 90s. I never saw a review of it, and can only assume that they expected to get all their income from clueless relatives buying the game as a gift (which is what happened in my case).
You'd think some companies would have more self respect...
I fail to see how 2.6.1-rc3 (rc == release candidate) is confusing. rc numbering is pretty standard, even Bill's boys do it (Windows 2003 rc-1 for example).
What I don't like is the information implicit in the odd/even number version number when it could be text. It's just another piece of trivia to remember. It could be 2.6-unstable-1-rc3 (or actually 2.3-unstable-1-rc3 as you'd go through numbers half as fast).
There's also the question of why exactly people new to Linux are compiling their own kernel rather than using that provided by their distro of course.
Why shouldn't they?
Anyway, the information is not just useful for installing kernels. What about just checking a system to see what kernel is currently installed? Currently you have to know about odd-even versions to know if you have a development kernel or not using uname -r , whereas if it was textual it would be obvious.
Why the existence of the current system? It's not very elegant. It's easy for people new to Linux to downoad the wrong version. Why not something like:
2.6.0-stable 2.6.1-unstable
(followed by 2.6.1-stable)
or something? I've never seen any advantage to the odd/even system.

Why would cars need to emit water vapour? If we were that concerned about it we could wait for a couple of grams to accumulate and then dribble it into the gutter or something. But I can't see it being a major problem given the amount of water vapour that gets exchanged between teh atmosphere and seas each day.

I suppose I should make some joke about overclocking but frankly it seems like too much work.
Anyone else have a thought of ants under a magnifying glass?

If you're working hard when having a crap try eating more fibre.
Why have all those [< >]'s dirtying up my code, only to enforce strong typing on my collections?
I was assuming that the < >s would remove the need for the much dirtier
fooCollection.add(new Double(fooPrimitive));
and
fooPrimitive = ((Double)(fooCollection.get(xxx))).doubleValue();
etc.
Or is this still required?
And throw in some extra stuff... not so much to make it profitable though.

I think you mean that it would have been more readable to Perl users if it had been written in punctuation and spaces.
If it's anything like Afghanistan, they've all been keeping C64s hidden under their chicken coops in preparation for their glorius liberation.
"Distintion"?
"Its a convention"?
All else being equal (which is the environment portrayed in most Sci-Fi novels) people do go as far as their desires and talents will take them.
Which is of course probability is well - in this case, the lottery of genetics supplying their desires and talents.
Yeah, right. So when you go outside you grab your ear-muffs in preference to your coat do you?
Perks? What sort of perks could you get in a job like that? Free cockroach meat?

It would be redundant only if you kept the odd/even versioning system. I am suggesting (starting from kernel 3 for simplicity):
3.0-unstable-0, 3.0-unstable-1 etc.
3.0-stable-0, 3.0-unstable-1 etc.
3.1-unstable-0 etc.
etc.
Using alternate numbers to indicate unstable kernels is a poor way of representing development versions IMO.

Ah good point. Supports my case, though - I've compiled a few kernels and still forget how it works. In that case, how about 2.6-stable-1 ?

Wrong! You are forgetting that spacetime is curved, and the shortest path would actually be through higher dimensions.

Are you going to sell spell checkers as point #2 then?
You can get apt for RPMs from freshrpms.net. Works very well as far as I can tell.
