Although there's nothing fundamentally wrong with the Linux Monolithic Kernel (especially since it's behaving more and more like a microkernel these days)
Exporting the odd service or two (like FUSE) does not a microkernel make. And modern NT is not a microkernel by any stretch. Read what AST has to say. If anything, NT's gigantic Executive makes it even more monolithic than Linux. Anyway, the best solutions often borrow ideas from all over the shop.
Linus has admitted that were he to start from scratch, it wouldn't be monolithic.
No, let's hope not. Just release the specs for the benefit of the entire free software community, and let people who know what they're doing write the drivers.
the pre-existing propensity of geek guys to like the internet... yeah. I can see 'sex' being negatively correlated with 'internet'.
Geeks tend not to be stupid. Well, not that stupid at least (unless problems exist between keyboard and chair). We're not running out of mod-points any time soon, they can wait.
I can't see what's wrong with basic layout of the program. OK, more customisable palettes would be good so I didn't have to keep torn-off menus lying around, but other than that I've no problem getting it to do what I want.
HP does not at least for 2001-2006 models (both Intel and ALI chipsets)
My 2004 HP zx5000 does (but that's on an ATi chipset). I don't see any good reason for moving this into the OS, either, because my cheap-ass 2005 MiTAC notebook has firmware fan control as well.
Slashdot Mirror
You just did that to advertise Fedora 8, didn't you? Nice one, thanks for the reminder. Download your copy now from these fine mirrors.
Dunno about embarrassing messages, but I've run into a few Facebook walls adorned with Lemonparty...
The Law of Fives is never wrong.
You just don't get it, do you?
It's got an "i" in its name. That's right, not just any old copy of the ninth letter of the Roman alphabet, but a motherfucking lower-case "i".
Comprendez?
I hear it's a library that's used on those funny little operating systems Microsoft produces! *SNORT*
Ahh, straight from the lolCPU pages of "I CAN HAS TIMEZLICE?".
[Taps fingertips together.]
...And that there's a parallel universe in which you're the hot model you scored with.
No, let's hope not. Just release the specs for the benefit of the entire free software community, and let people who know what they're doing write the drivers.
...execute permissions and mandatory access control, yeah?
Now where have I seen this before...
Yeah, and a lot more complaining because they aren't fucking. Big deal.
Why are you here?
Damn, does that mean it has to be run in VM86 mode?
You need to install a bootloader as well. In fact, just a bootloader should do the trick.

No shit!
