Quotes of the week

No need anymore to write some printk to debug, worrying, sweating, feeling guilty because we know we'll need yet another printk() after the reboot, and we even already know where while it is compiling.

We would build less kernels, then drink less coffee, becoming less nervous, more friendly. Everyone will offer flowers in the street, the icebergs will grow back and white bears will...

And eventually we'll be inspired enough to write perf love, the more than expected tool to post process ftrace "love" events.

-- Frederic Weisbecker

How can waiting for child1 to run a bit before forking off child2 _not_ hurt? The parent is the worker bee creator, the queen bee if you will. Seems to me that making the queen wait until one egg hatches and ages a bit before laying another egg is a very bad plan if the goal is to have a hive full of short lived worker bees.

And yes, but the engineering model of the kernel development cycle is that engineer hours are wasted and thrown away all the time. They are surplus, sorry. That's how life works here.
-- Greg Kroah-Hartman

One of my functions is pointlessly sending patches at maintainers so you don't have to.
-- Andrew Morton
