Posted by michael on from the suddenly-everything-clicks dept.

You will appreciate the trick that makes the icons load 5% faster in particular. Announcement is here. Please use mirrors for download, but original FTP is here. Note as well that maybe for the first time, there are _official_ RH packages for a _stable_ release (7.2)."

    No, actually you were not wrong; the AC was. According to the OED, the verb "to trade" has equally used interchangeable meanings of "to sell" or "to buy" in this context, and the preposition "for" also has no specific connotations of recievership or otherwise. Thus the phrase "it trades speed for stability" is in fact utterly ambiguous, but also not wrong. Take peoples' advice regarding grammar, but always make sure that you come to your own conclusions before apologising for nothing.


    Meanwhile, I will return to uploading my KDE 2.2.2 packages into Debian unstable. It should be apt-gettable within a couple of hours, as the KDE folks were good enough to allow time for packaging before announcing the release. We're not to be upstaged by these RedHat packages :-)
