Well eventually Italy promulgated racial laws in 1938 that, while not encouraging physical elimination like the German ones, strongly discriminated against "inferior races" (mostly Jews), by forbidding interracial marriage and excluding from public office and higher education. Later, in 1943, with the creation of the Italian Social Republic in Northern Italy, actual deportation of Jews o German death camps started, but at that point it was Germany ruling over Italy.

As for the first act of aggression: Italy's colonial politics started before Fascism and were not much different from those of other colonial powers like France or the UK. Italy's colonial empire eventually comprised of Albania, Lybia, Somalia (in part), Erithrea and Ethiopia.
The first act of aggression of Italy as part of WW2 was against France.

Are you even aware of what we're talking about here? Do you really think Windows got so popular because its kernel development was kept "simple and explicit"?

Let me put it easier for you: it's a nickname to a kernel version that is aimed at all those who have a little interest in the Linux kernel development. No "Linux customer" is ever going to see it. If Android was to fork kernel 3.11 for its next version and consequently sell a billion devices with it, only a tiny percentage of the buyers would be aware of what Linux even is, and even less would be aware of this tiny joke. And if even one of them would interpret it as "Linux finally reached the level Windows was, 20 years ago", he would need his brain checked, by a good one.
