Were you aware of the flash attachment, that I could not kill? A warning might be appreciated, since on sight I lost whatever interest I might have had in reading the text.

gus3,

Have it, perhaps not the very latest but not missing by much.

This time blocked it, however, it was not as bad as the first that had flashing color and a bouncing object that also was askew within its box. That experience just made me want to escape, nausea was next on the docket.

@LKML.org

1. Right click on attachment and select "Rewind" makes flash attachment frozen 2. Disabling Javascript in Preferences->Content and browser restart removes flash attachment (firefox 3 b5 )

@marc.info

I have not noticed any problem.

@dba477: Back to the message that you posted. Why did you post it? I know that there have been some discussions about getting Xen in the kernel (LWN did a pretty good recap of the whole situation recently) but I am not sure what I should get from that message. I'm not that deeply in the Xen-KVM discussion.

Sander, There was some testing performed (and not only by myself) just before 2.6.30 merge window and results were actually positive. In particular, you approved :- http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/118112/index.html. Could you please provide link @LWN . I am not aware of this information.

It's out of my competency to give any comments to thread at LKML.

That's how things went in real world, not on LWN pages. William Pitcock seems to be pretty much upset with situation. But, he was the first person who straightly told what exactly was going on. It's already my personal opinion.
