When you travel towards a light source, the speed of the light doesn't increase above 330m/s, but time slows down. And you can go back in future, if you travel faster than light against it. - Do you believe in Science?

Linux can only go to 256 cores. Windows 2008 tops out at 64.
Linux supports more than 256 cores.
MAINLINE:
Maximum number of CPUs / CONFIG_NR_CPUS:
This allows you to specify the maximum number of CPUs which this kernel will support. The maximum supported value is 512 and the minimum value which makes sense is 2. This is purely to save memory - each supported CPU adds approximately eight kilobytes to the kernel image.
I know SGI has systems running 4096 CPUs with SUSE Linux.

"a new filesystem notification interface called fanotify"
This code was merged, but the interface to use it has been removed, as there were some concerns. So it cannot be used right now.

I am the center of the universe. I don't walk, but I roll the earth/universe.
By the way, if center of universe is something like centre of the circle, then we need to find the accurate boundaries first

Root Privileges Through Linux Kernel Bug 131
Lars T. writes "The H has a story about a Linux kernel bug that allows root level access. 'According to a report written by Rafal Wojtczuk (PDF), a conceptual problem in the memory management area of Linux allows local attackers to execute code at root level. The Linux issue is caused by potential overlaps between the memory areas of the stack and shared memory segments.' SUSE maintainer Andrea Arcangeli provided a fix for the problem in September 2004, but for unknown reasons this fix was not included in the Linux kernel. The bug is not related to the X Server bug found by Brad Spengler."
As the linked article notes: "SUSE itself has the fix and SUSE Linux Enterprise 9, 10 and 11 as well as openSUSE 11.1 through 11.3 do not exhibit this vulnerability."

Did they sort the best case input and claim record? Or is it the average or worst case? Or the algo's best case time == worst case time?

That's also going too far. It's one thing what an employee does on company time and with company's resources, but they do on their own time - as long as it's legal shouldn't be a company's business.
If it is public anyone can watch you. As long as they don't interfere on your free time activities, it should be fine.

Comment If Monologue == Dialogue ??? (Score 1) 344
In some conversations like between an employee and a manager, or a wife and husband, one half of the dialogue is the complete dialogue. IOW monologue == dialogue. So do they annoy less?
