Oh, it's not that the GST got 'rammed through' Parliament. That's what you get with a majority government. It's the fact that the Senate rejected the bill, and so Mulroney (sp?) appointed his friends to the Senate.
From what I know, the Alpha was planning on using the higher bus-speed for the EV6 bus, and the K7 decided to stay at a 'safer' 200 MHz. This, however, makes for some rather interesting overclocking opportunities..
Check out Anandtech's Celery Report, a report on the overclocking of Celerons. A cheap $CND 129 Celeron 300A can quite easily be brought up to 450, with performance at or above that of a Pentium II for many tasks. I've seriously been considering getting one...
Unfortunately with the greater influx of people into the Open Source/Free Software community, this is what we have to deal with. People in the community used to be very intelligent. I harken back to the earlier days of Slashdot - back about a year ago - when all we saw were intelligent posts, helpful posts, people willing to help no matter what. Now we get First Posts, and flamebait, and everything else. Bruce is right - we just have to develop a thick skin, I think. Ignore the morons and continue to fulfill our own goals - because that's what we're in it for.
I've got a Logitech MouseMan+, which has four buttons (the three on top and a thumb). In Windows the thumb button can be used to scroll - click it and move up and down, or hold it and move the mouse up and down. This is the one thing I miss when I use X - does anyone know of any software, etc, that can enable this type of behaviour?

Linus' 2.2 pre-patches are not cumulative, they're incremental, meaning you DO NOT remove pre4 to get pre5.
looks like I should have done a tad more research. It was public domain to begin with, so he's legally allowed to do with it what he wants.
As for putting it on the net, there's nothing stopping him or anyone else. It's under the GPL license now.

This looks like Alan Cox writing (the message to which I'm replying), but it's not identified as such - better restore your Slashdot cookie, Alan..
More of my thoughts are available on woot.net.
