That's just my point. They keep releasing new versions of the Linux 
kernel, but as far as I can tell, none of them *do* anything new. So... 
why... are they... releasing it?

It probably doesn't come across in text, but at the point when I wrote 
this, I basically felt like throwing myself off a bridge. (And I *mean* 
IRL!) I am utterly ****ed off with the entire universe repeatedly 
reminding me that everything I hold dear is in fact pointless, 
worthless, empty, and that I am a stupid retarded idiot for even caring 
about such things. Face it, *nobody* enjoys being repeatedly told 
they're stupid...
