again, as others have said - you don't like it, you feel free to hack
it out of the sources before compiling a brand-new, politically
correct (spit spit) kernel for yourself. like i hack "lp0 on fire"
right back _in_ every so often.
Courtesy is not ``political correctness.'' Asking for one has nothing
to do with asking for the other.
and FWIW, i think "fucking Sun blows me" actually says something
worthwhile about endianity mismatch errors. check the code to find
out.
No, it doesn't. It may be a message that is caused by an endianity
mismatch error, but it doesn't say anything about it at all. And
notice that having content is neither ``political correctness'' nor
courtesy -- and this message has no significant content at all.
