WOW

This is earth shattering news! I think I need a beer to calm down.

damn... did anyone else mis-read this?

Since then i've had to renew my drivers license three times.

for about three minutes i sat wondering: who the fuck do you buy your hardware from that actually *license* their drivers, and requires you to *renew* them? I didn't know Microsoft started manufacturing important PC components...

then it hit me.

sigh... goes to show that friday evenings are best spent away from the computer for best results.

Re:If possible?

[tunah]

Oh yeah, great. Why don't I just go and have a clove of garlic for breakfast while i'm at it? You want a silver stake? 'Cause I've got one right here that you can have. Honestly, you are a load of insensitive bastards.

No pun intended...

I had the exact same reaction, but I didn't even realize he was talking about cars until I read your message.

Yeah, yeah, I need to get out more.

Re:ChangeLog summary anywhere?

[Pretzalzz]

There is a summary at the very end of the Changelog, or are you like me and the summary wasn't very explanatory? Then, uhhh, I don't know what to say. Though the summary was understandable enough that I know that more explanation probably wouldn't help my understanding much...

Re:If possible?

[Bryan Ischo]

Didn't you just contradict yourself? You have admitted that there are times when it is not possible to use the main site (it is Slashdotted). In which case, the phrase "if possible use a mirror" makes perfect sense. By your own admission.

[PATCH] PATCH: personality clashes

If only they were all that easy to fix ...

Re:2.4.19 for Debian Woody?

[Sivar]

No, you've gotta wait until 2.4.19's been tested for a few years.

Sweet, now my system will scream "FIRST BOOT!!!!" at me when I turn it on. :)

Re:On a more serious note...

pipe.c: ++i; changed to i++;
panic.c: printf("shit!\n"); changed to puts("shit!");

what's a car?

Re:damn... did anyone else mis-read this?

[Thyrsus]

A car returns the first element of a list. A cdr returns the remaining elements.

EULA

[Anonymous Coward]

Where is the new EULA that states that you allow Linus to collect information about the hardware and software installed on your system, and to install new versions without your prior consent?

Re:Meanwhile...

[Alioth]

What do you expect?

Slashdot isn't about Windows. If Slashdot was a Windows-centric (not UNIX centric) site, it would be \. and not /.

And you need a license for this? Now I know why LISP is out fashion.
