Default General ramblings (with some Linux flavouring). (Was: Linux founder tells Intel to stop inventing 'magic instructions' and 'start fixing real problems')

I know "could care less" is the US version of this expression, but it's
inaccurate. Think about it: if you could care less, that implies that
you do care a little - which is not what you mean; you actually mean
"couldn't care less".


Please don't attribute that mangled expression to all of us over here.

Very sorry! Glad it's not universal in US. But I haven't seen it at all
used in UK.
