In a message to the Linux Kernel Mailing List today regarding the shortened merge window for the Linux 2.6.40 kernel, Linus Torvalds brings up that there's already been many Linux 2.6 kernel releases and that he could end up tagging this as the Linux 2.8.0 kernel or perhaps even has 3.0.0.
So I'm toying with 3.0 (and in that case, it really would be "3.0", not "3.0.0" - the stable team would get the third digit rather than the fourth one.
But no, it wouldn't be for 42. Despite THHGTTG, I think "40" is a fairly nice round number.
There's also the timing issue - since we no longer do version numbers based on features, but based on time, just saying "we're about to start the third decade" works as well as any other excuse.
But we'll see.

a form of NVIDIA Optimus
Hey, this is actually pretty good.

Yes, I noticed that too. I've got one of those new ThinkPad T520s with an nVidia Quadro Optimus GPU. It works fine with Linux if I disable the Optimus functionality in the UEFI configuration and just force the Quadro GPU to be the primary adapter.
So getting Optimus working will do a lot to save on battery life. It sucks manually switching it over back to the Intel IGP to save power.
I would. I would spread Nvidia's thick, luscious ass cheeks wide open, let my spit dribble down into Nvidia's simpering, pert, pulsating steamy hot and wanting ANUS, make all of it wet with my fingers and the tip of my rock-hard cock, and TEAR THAT SHIT UP.
