In 97, I was working on my home PC, formatting a bunch of floppy disks in DOS... I had been typing Format a:/u... my roommate walked by and said dont format c:, and i'm like haha, that would be great... After a couple of minutes I realized that it was taking a bit longer than normal, and I freaked. I had typed Format c:/u and I could not find my Norton unformat disk for the life of me... 4 hours, and an install of 95 later, I was mostly back to normal...
You apparently don't remember ripping out the old VM system and replacing it with another one in the middle of 2.4. Also, ReiserFS support was added in 2.4.1, I believe.
My point exactly. If it was in Release 2.4.0, then it would have been in 2.3.x development. They wouldnt have a blanket statement for ALL OF 2.4... It had to sprout in a specific revision, so if it wasnt in the 2.3 tree, it started in 2.4.5 or something like that... If we had a specific revision number we'd know exactly what was inserted, and we could go about removing it.
Well I've been thinking alot about this, and I think it's funny that they give a blanket statement about it being in the 2.4 - 2.5 (now 2.6). If its in every 2.4 kernel, then it would had to have shown up in the 2.3 development cycle. Parts of the kernel dont magically appear at the beginning of a new production/stable cycle. But telling us the exact release number would infringe on their IP, and we couldnt have that.
Darl, you need to put up, and then shut up when we've removed it from the kernel.
THe majority of articles/posts/blogs re IPv6 say that it will change the world and solve all our problems, but everyone cites the chicken/egg example as to why it doesnt happen.
We know that we have a limited IP space. We know that IPv6 has better security features. We know that the US is very stingy on everything it does. Articles telling us all this wont change anything.
Not trying to diminish the fact that it needs to be fixed, but SOMEONE NEEDS TO START THE PROCESS AND FIX IT!
It will take big corporations and ISP's to finally say, You cant do business with us unless you move. We need a big change to happen like this or IPv6 will take 20 yrs to become a reality... and you think we have IP problems now?
As more and more ISP's subscribe to the theory that a consumer does need as much upload bandwidth as download(as seen in the current cable modem/DSL industry), how will Bittorrent scale to meet the problems it was set out to correct? It seems to me that it would severly limit the benefits of having an application of this nature.
Not to long ago, Slashdot has an article regarding ISP bandwidth usage of WindowsUpdate at 45%! P2P at 60% and WU at 45% = 5% overutilization and nothing left for email or web surfing in general... Im thinking that no one know the true utilization. Its either that or the answer to all of our bandwidth problems is death to p2p and death to Microsoft.

You sir, obviously know nothing about X. But when does that stop a person from posting on slashdot.
We all know that it's Odor though..... right?
