On your blog take one of the two opinions:
a.) You think the project is a good idea
b) You think it is a bad idea
I think this is a bad idea. There are so many more important areas to focus on that will be immediate. I want more focus on how we can get children to be more involved in community activities. $20 million to promote "green" environment for the earth. Sending something to space to see what happens is pointless. You spend all this money just to have something go wrong and then entire mission is scrapped. $20 million can provide thousands of laptops, school books, community programs. As this man said, there are only 2 kids interested in this plan. I bet we could get way more kids interested in how to save rain forests, help other students get healthy. The government run space program is a dud. Why throw more money into this!! I really think Google should invest $20 million into our children and not empty space. Earth is in serious need of help. We need to start fixing, not just put on a big ass band-aide!!!
Or they can give me some and I will start a sanctuary for little breed abused dogs!!

Blog 4
In your own words explain how Linux kernels are numbered.
Linux kernels are numbered as such:
Linux kernels have several releases and revisions. This is because it’s an open source, meaning free to read and study.
Back in 1991, Tovalds, started the numbering system with 0.01, 0.02 ect to represent month to month.
Starting in 1994, 1.0 started. Then in 1996, 2.0 started and stayed. Now the numbering system is in 4 sets of numbers.
The 1st set is the 2.0. The 2nd set is used for major revision. If the number is even, the software is stable and good to go. Odd numbers were not stable, meaning people need to look at the code and make fixes.
The 3rd set is used for minor revisions. Just little issues, new features and drivers.
The 4th set is for bugs and patches. There can be letters (rc) on the end of the set of numbers and they represent release candidate, which means it’s not official yet. Other letters can be the peoples initials that did the changes.
The most current stable version, as of 3/6/10, when I wrote this is 2.6.33. (http://www.kernel.org/) I don't know why there is not a 4th set of numbers. I’m thinking it’s because the last stable 4th set is 9, and that did not change.
