Perhaps some clarification should have been made that the pages in question have changed several times during that year but that Google is still only indexing the page content in excess of a year old as evidenced by their search results.
I'd agree that would be an extraordinary stupid comment had it been meant like you read it.
WTF with Google anyway?

Don't get me wrong, they do a good job overall, but Yahoo! is making GREAT strides and slips under the radar for press coverage when every/.'er ooohs and aaaahs over every move Google makes.
Besides, Google is returning results for pages that are OVER A YEAR OLD when I Yahoo! regularly picking up changes no more than two weeks old.
"How is the Linux support for this M-Audio card? I know they do support some of their products to work with Linux."
Quite good actually. The last M-Audio Revolution 7.1 went into an Ubuntu (latest official "Hoary") SMP install on an IBM Intellistation M Pro. Very impressive sound quality!! The [Gnome] audio software controls all seem to be in place and work well, however, they are not properly labeled.
To work around the missing labels, simply go to M-Audio's site or another source of your choice and look at the XP or Mac help guide screenshots and you'll immediately know or have a great guess as to what each slider should do.
Also one minor annoyance that sometimes occurs at least on this Ubuntu install in one in about every 10 logins one channel will drop from producing sound. To work around, simply open audio controls then mute and unmute the offending channel. There is a good chance this is localized to either Gnome or Ubnuntu and this annoyance seems to be occurring much less frequently now.
Vote with your money and encourage everyone you know to do the same!
I generally dread every prodcut made by "Creative" Labs as well so I simply don't buy anything they make. Turtle Beach's Santa Cruz was the edge but now I use M-Audio's Revolution 7.1 in new box builds due to the Santa Cruz being out of production.
Then again, if audio isn't important the onboard sound isn't much worse than anything mady by CL IMHO!
As always, it depends on the work you do. For me, it's either Windows or Mac to get the hardware support for one of my machines (every other machine is a *nix) slide scanners and other 'strange' hardware I really need to use. OF COURSE I'd prefer the Mac over the Windows machine anyday! So then, if you take your hardware costs coupled WITH software costs the Mac breaks even to a dreadful Windows box when you account for ALL the requried software to be as productive. For example, a antivirus subscription, firewall, spyware removal, good defragger, good backup, and many others...
"Are they backporting from the 2.7 tree? I know that SE linux has been around for a while, but why the sudden interest by the kernel maintainers?"
Perhaps to further strengthen Linux as a viable alternative to Solaris 10, which now includes most of what used to be "Trused Solaris", their uber-secure version. Linux is great, but I still think anyone here would agree that Solars, for the moment, is still more secure than Linux at present.
Thanks. I've already been there and done that - a few times. I'm always having to make a custom kernel to support SMP and this wierd Alteon (IBM Netfinity) gigabit NIC. Portupgrading was always easy, I was always seeming to get tripped up with mergemaster and build world (after tripping up the kernel confing a time or two).
More time tinkering later and I'm sure I'll figure out where I went wrong.
BTW, has the Pango problems with 5.3 been fixed in 5.4RC?
Agreed. The ONLY reason I'm still using Linux as opposed to FreeBSD (only ditched Windows last August) is that I've had a hullava time upgrading FreeBSD WITHOUT destroying something that I don't know how to fix. Even the Debian apt-get (under Ubuntu) and synaptic are about the only reason holding be to Linux. However, I have every intention to continue to tinker with FreeBSD (like I've done with Linux for longer) and learn where I went wrong.
A simplified upgrade wizard, optionally, would be a great benefit to the new users that can't devote as much time anymore as were once were to mastering a new OS.
It sounds like you are also (former?) Abit Customer? Granted that Abit wasn't the only manufacturer plagued with the dreaded capacitor fluid fiasco, but they certainly seemed to have the motherboard market cornered with board failures for a while.
Perhaps those problems were not directly Abit's fault, howerver, dealing with the multitude of problems from that even left a very sour taste in my mouth. Abit still generally makes decent spec. products....but I'm no longer interested in giving any business to them since that period!

Hey Bill,

"As much as it may be the only practice most /.ers ever get, I hope to god they get rid of that stupid clitoris mouse."
You still haven't figured out how to work it yet???
"I wonder if this was a hw limit or a sw limit..."
I can assure you it was indeed a hardware or software limit.

He should fly to mars instead and give the rover a push.

What have you got against nipples???
I would expect that's about as close to a nipple as most of the Slashdot crowd gets to on a regular basis!
