LMAO Forbes was reporting yesterday on the whole Bitkeeper/kernel thingy. Somebody either just read some headlines and thought he'd write a story. (And, sadly, I guess with Linux being a buzzword nowadays, and the typical Forbes readership not knowing much about Linux and how it is developed, it will even make a splash.) <http://www.forbes.com/business/2005/05/25/cz_dl_0525linux.html> Anybody found the second part of that article yet?

BitKeeper has built-in IDS and whatnot. And a builtin coffee machine, too, and a Pizza delivery device. Pull the other one. greetings -- vbi -- Protect your privacy - encrypt your email: http://fortytwo.ch/gpg/intro
