Patch notes: clause unnecessary. Refactored to cover the general case.

Yes, the US grid is that bad (especially the profoundly corrupt Texas utility).

But in Linus's case, it was just a big fucking tree that came down on his street. That tree looks like a scary mess to clear.

If you're going to go that far, it probably has to be an "active" HDMI cable.

Some women have four legs. It's a temporary condition, but I gander that it's common enough to offset the amputees.

I don't see how swap has much chance to fragment. A swapfile has to be fully allocated up front and cannot be CoW. If it's allocated well in the first place, it will stay that way.

The swap code doesn't really do I/O through the filesystem. AIUI, it locks the file, gets the disk block #s from the FS, and after that it accesses those blocks directly.

Son of a bitch. Instead of "turning shit the fuck off", is windows putting the wifi card into some sort of eternal WoL mode when it shuts down? And the wifi card isn't resetting at boot time (or honoring a reset command) to give the linux drivers a known starting state?

Thanks, but I only take advice from the Arch Wiki.
