This seems to put more pressure on individual distro vendors to add features and test them, then discuss their inclusion in the upstream kernel. Seems pretty reasonable to me. This should definitely stabilize the kernel a lot.
Graphite suite isn't all that special. I was looking at it last night and was turned off by yet another white theme. Geez, how many different white themes do we need? Not only that, but it uses the Clearlooks engine, and although I like and use the Clearlooks engine myself, it certainly means that his theme isn't all that special. Thank the Clearlooks devs for the engine. And that wallpaper isn't his work either, it's Stanley 'artgerm' Lau's work. The icon theme looks like a modified default GNOME icon theme by the looks of the screenshots.
I'd say that the only thing that the Graphite Suite brings is a full desktop theme rather than just a GTK or Metacity theme. Other than that, it's over-hyped by the article.
"The stigma that was once attached to computer geeks and role-playing nerds is diminishing incredibly fast," said "digital gangster" Bryce Case Jr., aka ytcracker. "It has almost become trendy to have skills on a computer. Rather than guns and 'hos, I speak about DDOS attacks and camgirls."
The self-proclaimed "#1 greatest computer science gangsta rapper ever" is MC Plus+, a geeksta leading light whose moniker comes from the C++ programming language.
The Purdue University, Indiana, Ph.D. candidate and "CS pimp," whose album Algorhythms was recorded with pirated software, calls himself "the Tupac of the computer science world."
MC Plus+ rattles off lines like: "I'm encrypting shit like every single day; sending it across a network in a safe way; protecting messages to make my pay; if you hack me you're guilty under DMCA."
....
"I don't think this new subculture will really stick, though," Ryan added. "If the genre is to succeed, you're going to need some females."
....
"I think CS graduates have a better chance than most rappers at calculating and devising hitherto unheard rhyme pairings," he said. "50 Cent has dance clubs and oral sex, we have awesome video cards."
My God, they are sending sperm into space! What is wrong with these people, haven't they seen the fantastic four yet? Geez, do we really need sperm that has been mutated by high-radiation exposure to be brought down from space?
AMD claims that they have intentionally disallowed AMD chips to use the same optimizations as Intel uses. This would mean that Intel forced an artificial handicap on AMD chips.
So now I suppose there will be headlines on/. that read "Neanderthal Genome has been Sequenced" and "Neanderthal cloned" and "Neanderthal released into wild". Why didn't Slashdot wait until after the release before reporting on this?

Don't worry, nobody will be seeing it for the next day or so; it was posted on /.!
Thank God for less choice.

You mean to tell me that isn't entertaining?
That won't work without Start, Select.

Damn, your monkey is smart. All my monkey does is chew on the cable!
I think it's too early to be discussing stupid conspiracy theories that have little importance. Let's leave that for after lunch, hm?
I think you misunderstood what Gates said.
'The Chinese are going to wake up and say we [we, as in us, Americans] missed this opportunity'
Science is what happens when preconception meets verification.
Somehow this seems relevant to the article. Maybe we should start a discussion about when life truly starts?

No, probably not responding to Slashdot. Why, you ask?
Because in Soviet Russia, keyboards dynamically map YOU!
You forgot the third option: Link them on Slashdot.
Ya, that's awesome, except for that you need to fill it up with 12 pounds of fuel every 60 miles.
Perhaps they would, but why purposely exclude AMD chips from using your optimizations unless AMD chips would benefit from them?
Would this effect 3D graphics rendering or movie encoding/decoding benchmarks? It seems those are the two areas Intel chips still beat AMD chips.
AMD claims that they have intentionally disallowed AMD chips to use the same optimizations as Intel uses. This would mean that Intel forced an artificial handicap on AMD chips.
The Jews endured it over 500 years ago.
