    It's a complete waste of precious time.

    Just building the major versions (6.X) is good enough.

    I recently helped with debugging the Intel wifi driver in
    a release candidate. Nobody was answering the request in
    the bug report to test a patch. I tested it, and the
    problem went away. That fix is now in 6.14.

    I most certainly am -- and a LOT more than you.

    It's just not with the kernel.

    Example:

    The next minor release of "bc," the arbitrary precision command-line calculator, will include some fixes in which I have collaborated.

    https://www.gnu.org/software/bc/

    If you actually build bc with optimized routines, which you don't,
    then you would have me to thank.

    But regardless, you are not welcome.

    Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

    I don't buy it.

    There are many ways to help. The best way for you would to help Linux
    would be by promoting Windows. If you are as helpless with Windows as
    you are with Linux, which I strongly believe, it would drive a lot of
    people from Windows to Linux.

    Example:

    The next minor release of "bc," the arbitrary precision command-line calculator, will include some fixes in which I have collaborated.

    I don't believe that.

    https://www.gnu.org/software/bc/

    It's a link directing to a well known tool, not a link directing to your contribution.

    If you actually build bc with optimized routines, which you don't,
    then you would have me to thank.

    If it was true, but I still don't believe that.

    Yes? So what? It's all you do with your spare time.

    Just building the major versions (6.X) is good enough.

    You are just one step to use the already build version. Be careful. If
    you can't waste your time anymore, what will you do with your computer?

    Go and fuck yourself, Carpenter.

    I dare you to compile the current version 1.08.1 using the
    optimizing options. You will be in for a BIG surprise.

    But the next version will be fixed thanks to *my* collaboration.

    You don't use bc because you are an innumerate idiot --
    and you could NEVER compile it regardless.

    But you should say "Thank you, sir" anyway.

    Are you gonna say "Thank you, sir" for my contribution?

    Huh?

    After all, your distro will certainly include it in their
    next release.

    Whatever, you are not welcome.

    Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
