  1. 1. What should happen after 1 million is reached?

    • Start over at 1
      30
    • Keep counting to infinity (count to the next million(s))
      107
    • Count back down to 1 (then back up)
      52
    • Other (pm or mention if you'd like)
      15

I would like to take a moment to point out how big 1 million truly is, and how this thread is an excellent demonstration of that fact. This thread was posted on August 13th, 2013. Today being September 5th, 2018, this thread has been going on with (likely at least somewhat consistent levels of baseline activity) for over 5 years. I've posted in this thread many times over the years, including back close to when it was first started. This thread now has over 17,800 pages. Despite that fact -- we are not even half-way toward counting to 1 million. 

Still, with every post we get closer to that goal. And, roughly speaking, if we maintain a relatively steady baseline of activity in this thread - hopefully we will reach 1 million in just another 5-6 years from now or so. 

See you all at 1 million, and many times along the way!

(And, on the note of 1 million being huge -- we are talking about just one million. Not ten million, a hundred million, a billion, a trillion, a quadrillion... a centillion, a googol, a googolplex, or even Graham's number which becomes so large we cannot even write it down with ink and paper in normal ways.)

For a moment I thought that was gonna be

I'd just like to interject for a moment.  What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it.  Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use.  Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system.  Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux.  All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux
