Fuck in Linux Kernel

Is Sunday, is raining, my wife is reading some psychological shit and I’m bored. I knew from the morning I need to do something very very important today, so I start to count the “fuck” word in Linux Kernel.

This command is faster

find . -name *.[hcS] -not -regex ‘\./\.git.*’ | xargs cat | grep ” fuck” | wc -l

than this command:

egrep -ir “( fuck)” * | wc -l

Is dofollow with wordpress.com possible?

Is dofollow with wordpress.com possible on user comments? Sincerly I’m trying to find a way to let the user signature to be dofollow.  I think is is a reward for the users who really comment on my posts. If is somebody know how to do that please leave a meassege on this post.

Thanks

Ubuntu 9.04 supports Ext4

Ubuntu 9.04 Alpha 3 already supports Ext4. This version of Ubuntu will be released in 29 April but until then the Ubuntu developers invite us to test the alpha/beta versions.

The most important change (in Ubuntu of course) is the latest EXT4 filesystem what will be as default in Ubuntu. Ext4 was merge in mainline code of kernel 2.6.28. Testers was impressed about Ext4 speed (some systems gain +30% speed at boot). Also Ext4 supports better unlimited directories and manage data types better. Ext4 can handle data up to 16 Terabytes and filesystems up to an Exabyte, deletion seems to be 20 times faster than Ext3 and fsck faster.

Good news for all linux users.
