Comment 30 for bug 516834

Listen again very carefully. Not only is it a lot more difficult for me than for you to get the information, the fact that I have modified whichever config file it is I modified to get round the problem means that there is a possibility that I will make a mistake when I change it back and you will actually end up getting inaccurate information. You on the other hand presumably have a clean vanilla installation of Lucid in front of you. If you simply enter the command cat /proc/sys/vm/swappiness you will be presented with the information you want with 100% certainty of its correctness. You could even present it to MOTU under the pretence that I had given the information to you rather than that you found it for yourself, if that will prevent procedural embarrassment. They will never know.

Good grief! Why do I have to talk to you like you're a little child? Can't you at least use a little bit of common sense?
