The cash register code isn't "in CVS", the cash register code is from a company named "CVS" and therefore there should be no problems with support (unless, of course, the "CVS" company goes out of business... something completely possible with a closed source proprietary solutions provider).
CVS could decide on a stable kernel version for a given release of their cash register software. And then a newer kernel version for subsequent releases of their register. CVS would still be able to provide support for earlier versions by doing this (and if not, if a serious bug came up, how hard would it be for a CVS-techie to drop a CVS-burnt/customized CD in and quickly upgrade to the latest Linux and CVS cash register versions?
There...I've said something (Score: +2, Insightful). Hopefully the moderators with their ever-annoying hate-on for the ever-lovable ``gnulix guy'' won't moderate this post down like all the others -- but don't bet on it, because moderators have historically proven themselves too stupid to realize that the ever-lovable ``gnulix guy'' is all about parody, not about politics.
It's the ever-lovable ``gnulix guy'' again, this time with a query for his beloved Slashdot fans: Would you vote for the ever-lovable ``gnulix guy'' if he ran for public office?
Vote with your minds. Vote with your hearts. Vote with your consciences. But not with your moderation tools (my karma is seriously in the hole!)
It's the ever-lovable ``gnulix guy'' again, this time with an observation: We could all benefit from faster chips.
(I'm trying to offer some insightful commentary so that the kindly moderators will help me bring my karma out of the double digit negatives. I have a responsibility to my beloved Slashdot fans to keep them entertained, and therefore it is imperative that this downward spiral be reverted.)
It's the ever-lovable ``gnulix guy'' again, this time offering a very (+3, Insightful) comment about moderation.
Clearly, the ever-lovable ``gnulix guy'' is extremely popular (and ever-loved) by his beloved Slashdot-reading fans. Yet, I am perplexed that, despite my always witty, often funny, and usually insightful commentary, my karma is in the negative double-digits!
Moderation is supposedly accomplished by one's fellow peers, and should represent the views of the readership at large. Obviously in my case, the moderators do not seem to represent the wishes of my beloved fans.
I am hoping the beloved fans of the ever-lovable ``gnulix guy'' can offer me some reasons as to this flagrant and blatant abuse of moderator privileges.
The ever-lovable ``gnulix guy'' has never been about politics, my beloved fan, but about parody. You may call Linux what you wish (I prefer ``Linux'', personally), but please don't confuse the ever-lovable ``gnulix guy'' with somebody offended by the actual name of our beloved operating system.

I'm very pleased to see my beloved fans at NASA are considering using gnulix on the space station! Now the ever-lovable ``gnulix guy'' won't be the only spaced-out gnulix user!
Yes, in case you missed the previous announcement by the ``gnulix guy'', I have returned from a long hiatus to share my daily witicisms and software insights with my beloved fans.
Greetings to all my beloved fans! The ``gnulix_guy'' is now back from a long hiatus (I'll not mention the details of it, except to say it involved frequent flyer miles and asian sex tours). Because I've not been able to access Slashdot from the jungles of Thailand, I'll be stepping up my efforts to keep my legion of Slashdot fans entertained with my daily witicisms.
I know you've all been dying for me to say my tag line, so without further ado:

Long time no see folks! Your favorite troll is back.
Okay, it's time to 'fess up. I am one of the two people behind the lawsuit. Did you guys miss me? :-)

Is it too late to get involved in the ``Great Trollout''? (Oh sorry, that's next week isn't it) I mean, have I already missed Tuesday's Trollday?
