Quotes of the week

And along the 802.11n front, I'm _this_ close to getting a major chipset's specs, so hopefully we might have some more work for you to do soon. Now of only the lawyers would hurry up...
-- Greg Kroah-Hartman builds the suspense

I always considered HIGHMEM to just be unusable. It's ok for extending to 2-4GB (ie HIGHMEM4G, not 64G), and it's probably borderline usable for 4-8G if you are careful.

But quite frankly, I refuse to even care about anything past that. If you have 12G (or heaven forbid, even more) in your machine, and you can't be bothered to just upgrade to a 64-bit CPU, then quite frankly, *I* personally can't be bothered to care.

-- Linus Torvalds
