telnet noway.ratry.ru 37331 for tourney games

On: 10th Year of the International Nethack Tournament

Unlike all-year public servers, the tournament ones aren't watchable by default. But a few of the contestants broadcast their own games anyway on telnet://noway.ratry.ru:37331 so that's always a nice watch too. This service doesn't get enough publicity, I wish the top players could show us their progress!

Even further, I've found that most articles (which take the #1 Google spot) are plagiarized from the articles at Google spots 3-7.

How do you make the difference between that and the opposite?

Re:Redhat != Ubuntu

On: PC World's 50 Best Tech Products of All Time

"While development of Red Hat was discontinued in 2003, it directly spawned successors like Ubuntu, which aim to make desktop use of Linux commonplace." Nice article but not always correct. Ubuntu is a decedent of Debian not Redhat.

Descendent and successor aren't the same thing.
