Put your time where your theories and go start companies based on those theories and show up with all sorts of new things that you've built for pennies on the dollar compared to the commercial companies. I've suggested this before and I get "well, I don't want to run a company, I have no experience doing that, but you should run your company based on my untested theories". I'll start listening when you start doing. Until then, you are just flapping your gums. Flap away if it makes you feel good. -- --- Larry McVoy lm at bitmover.com http://www.bitmover.com/lm - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
