"I got a piece of mail that was vague that the assertion is some marketing person did something that was not entirely straightforward," Ballmer said.

Wow, I find it fucking *HILARIOUS* that you modded my post, pointing out a well-known troll, was modded as a troll. You moderators are so fucking stupid.
All of the comments complaining about the version going to 3.0 and not 2.6 are really, really stupid. Who cares? It is all arbitrary anyway. Stop pretending that there are some rules set in stone for this kind of thing. The assigning of version numbers are *completely* arbitrary in every imaginable way.
Even the decision to stop accepting changes and release a new version number instead of waiting for a few more patches is completely arbitrary and depends on the project, the person/people developing the project, the needs of the project, the schedule of the project, the moods and quirks of the developers, etc. There are no universal rules for this sort of thing. By complaining about a version number being "wrong" somehow you are just showing your ignorance to how the development for the project works. Many times marketing plays a key role, but I really doubt that in this case. The number of improvements in the Linux kernel 2.5 series has been incredible. Performance will be amazing. Perhaps a bigger number is in order to signify the accomplishments.
It isn't like it is your decision anyway. Just be glad that the numbers aren't randomly picked, which could lead to a lower number being a later version. Just remember that bigger number=newer version and you will be all set.
Oh, and about those idiots that want to wait until 2.9 to get a 3.0 kernel. Really, that is just stupid. We aren't working with a system that works like that. An increment on 2.9 does not give us the equation "2.9 +.1 = 3.0". Let us assume that there is a 2.9 development kernel eventually. What would stop Linus from calling the next stable version 2.10 instead of 3.0? What if it just keeps going to 2.485? Then you would probably complain that the major number is now useless because it never goes up.
Which brings me back to the main point. It is arbitrary. If Linus wants to call it 3.0 and you complain, you are just being stupid and ignorant.
Employee: "Just give us the ashes and we will make a diamond!"
Customer: "OK, here you go."
Employee: Alright, now turn around.
Customer: What?
Employee: Turn around. (makes circular motion with finger)

Customer: Man, that's weak.
Stop intruders... HP has trained a robot to run around spraying people in the eyes with inkjet cartidges, who are not wearing their access badges.
It will then bill the intruder $100 for a replacement cartridge, $20 for the high quality photo paper used to print the bill, and $500 for the labor costs involved.
In a startling turn of events today, a previously little-known fact came into the public eye: "*BSD Sux0rs".
This came as a complete surprise to the BUWLA, or BSD Users With
Large Assholes, as they previously thought that *BSD 0wned.
"You see, even though I have never contributed code to any BSD
project, I thought it was my duty to be a big asshole to others
which don't use the OS I do, because it just 0wnz.", said one
FreeBSD user. "Now that I know it sux0rs, though, I have to go
find something else to be an asshole about."
One notorious OpenBSD fanatic, known as WideOpen, told reporters,
"I have to kill myself. This isn't how it was supposed to happen.
My BSD has always been the best, and shouting that opinion in other
people's faces at every chance I get has been my only hobby. It
was all I ever did. It was what got me out of bed in the morning.
Now I have to die. I will jam my bedpost up my ass until I hit my
brain. It is the only way to go; BSD style."
In the volatile world of operating systems anything can happen.
"At least we don't sux0r as much as Windows users", BigAzz, a
relatively well-known NetBSD user said. "Screaming things in people's
faces is my calling. Now I need to scream that BSD sux0rs. What
a sad world. At least I won't kill myself like those uber-asshole
OpenBSD guys. They are just way over the top. Or were, at least."
Nobody knows for sure what the future holds for the state of operating
systems, but with Netcraft confirming the sux0r status, *BSD users
all over the world will have to stick something else up their asses
from now on or risk looking even more gay than they used to.
The document Microsoft filed, encompassing its summary of both the facts and the law at issue, totaled 575 pages, while the non-settling states submitted findings of fact that filled 528 pages and separate conclusions of law that added 84 more pages.
Well duh, of course the judge ruled the states could sue Microsoft. Microsoft filed 37 less pages than the states! Their position must be very weak in comparison!
Being one of the estimated ten people to actually read an article posted on Slashdot, I see that the only thing actually said about battery life is this:
Battery life is also excellent due in part to the Pentium 4M Speedstep technology. We were actually able to watch 2 full DVD titles on this machine, before the battery alert came on.
I know this article was mainly to see the performance of a current laptop, but couldn't they have given us an exact time, at least, to show what you need to sacrifice for higher laptop performance? Plus how many batteries was that with? I know the unit can hold two batteries with the DVD-ROM. If both batteries were in the unit at the time that isn't very impressive, especially if they were short "DVD titles" (notice they didn't say movies). Sorry, but I am really annoyed by ambiguous statements.
None, because hackers don't tend to teach each other anything.
Huh? Part of the nature of a hacker is to ask questions. The hacker community as a whole does nothing but teach each other stuff. Perhaps you like to ignore the hacker publications like 2600 Magazine. I think you are thinking of some other people.
I don't think you can say that A+ certified techs know more than other techs. At least not in general. I know some pretty stupid A+ certified people. Plus, the A+ curriculum is pretty stupid in itself. It focuses way too much on stuff you will never, ever do.
If by "stealing" you mean "making an exact copy of and leaving the original with the owner", which of course you can't because that is not the accepted definition.

Whoops I meant weekday.
At least First Wave finished. It isn't like the last season was cancelled before the story ended or something like that. It was a great show though.
Besides, they still show it every day on Sci-Fi.
Sounds good to me! Any boobies is good. Boobies is boobies is boobies.

I hope you realize that most anime, due to Japan's much better laws, is completely free to copy and pass around.

Is it DCMA or DMCA? The article seems to be confused...
It is DMCA.
They are confused because they are retarded. The DMCA does that to people.
