I use a sheevaplug with a usb cd-rom drive to close the air hatch on my wood burning central heating system. Of course it also has some fishing line and duct tape. The idea is that i can close the hatch with a timer or remotely at will. I've built a website for this purpose. I have two raspberry pis working as cameras for the system. If I leave the hatch open the air getting through the system will cool down the system much faster. I just eject the empty drive and the fishing line gets "longer" and closes the hatch.
I can't understand how people count these numbers, there's people copying a DVD even if they wouldn't want the DVD in the first place, so these numbers aren't really near the truth. Actually copying can be a good thing for companies, I've bought a few dvd's just because I copied them from someone and they were so damn good so I wanted the real thing.
Well, actually, this deal will be the final hit for nokia, because nokia doesn't have a world dominance anymore, it's samsung who has all the nice and shiny features nowadays, and samsungs don't break up when you by mistake throw your phone out of the window from the third floor in a house (Tested), and it's samsung that doesn't break up when you throw it into a wall by mistake (tested). Nokia already has crappy hardware, so why not make it have crappy software too.
2.2.25 was released just to fix ptrace, and I don't know why 2.2.24 was released.
And yes, this what you're saying is totaly true, but things change, and I don't see a reason why I should stick back to 2.4 series after 2.6 is released even on production machines.
For me the "If it works, then don't touch it" doesn't supply. I've turned into a kernel addict. And I should think more about the machines.
Well, I think I'll learn when I'm running many many many production machines that well-tested-and-noticed-to-work is better than not-so-well-tested-but-working.
This is probably one of the last 2.4 releases, I bet no one develops on 2.4 when 2.6 is out, (Maybe still getting those whines about that red hat patched 2.4.20 has bugs!)
2.6 needs much testing, and I think somewhere at 2.6.{2,3,4} it's pretty stable, because users don't have the guts to upgrade to anything with {pre,rc,test} on it.
I myself have been involved with testing since 2.5.60 something, and I can just say that the kernel devel team is doing a great work.

Of course it has to cost so much! How in the world would RIAA bosses have the money for cuban cigars if they didn't?

Interereresting, Where can normal people get that?!
indeed, this is really cool though, I can now search for mp3's in html format! I wonder when the porn implemation for this kind of stuff will be made.
Well, who wouldn't want to be slashdotted every day?
a cool feature for our cats! I can't say to that I always remember to feed our cats... wait.. what's the smell here..

Thanks for your comment anyway.
