While Linus notes that there have been no majorly exciting changes since the last release candidate, it&#8217;s worth taking a look at some of the things that have made their way into this release of the Linux kernel and what [...]]]></description> <wfw:commentRss>http://memeburn.com/2012/05/what-does-the-linux-3-4-kernel-have-to-offer/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Open source software: It&#8217;s more than just free stuff</title><link>http://memeburn.com/2012/05/open-source-software-its-more-than-just-free-stuff/</link> <comments>http://memeburn.com/2012/05/open-source-software-its-more-than-just-free-stuff/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Tue, 15 May 2012 04:45:50 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Muggie van Staden</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Open Source]]></category> <category><![CDATA[wikipedia]]></category><guid
isPermaLink="false">http://memeburn.com/?p=64314</guid> <description><![CDATA[Free software. In many ways it is an unfortunate term to describe what most people today know as open source software. Although the term is intended to convey the idea of freedom, it is often misunderstood as meaning &#8216;free of cost&#8217;.
