Pretty much. And GP didn't post a citation of Clinton doing anything of the sort. I'd be personally surprised if he did, though; surely there'd have been a scandal, since Congress was owned by the GOP through most of his term.
I've argued with people who blew smoke and pretended ignorance about the difference between Clinton firing political appointees and what Bush does with careerists. I have a hard time deciding if they're trolling or they're truly that half-witted.
What if you don't understand that you don't understand? There's plenty of fuckwits who don't grok the depths of their fuckwittery. I imagine this would be worse when you're a powerful senator surrounded by political flunkies.
Waste the time of large numbers of people who have nothing to do with making decisions for Apple, and also the time of those people who actually need help with their Apple equipment.
I used to use Unstable years back, but thought better of it when a nasty lilo bug rendered my hard drive non-bootable. This would have been in the period between 2.2 and 3.0.
If you update files in a package managed by the package manager, but don't tell the package manager about it, you most likely will have problems down the road, with versioning or with a file no longer being there that the package manager expects, or a file having incorrect permissions.
So go into Synaptic and tell it to use the backports repository. FF3 might be there, if it's too big a deal to just do an upgrade.
It's not like you're having to/pay/ for the upgrade; it's not unlike installing a service pack.
Why doesn't the FF upgrade feature "just work?"
Because Ubuntu Firefox isn't precisely the same as Official Firefox, and the user updating the browser themselves can break things; also, how does Firefox invoke gksu to get root privs to update the relevant files? You can always d/l Firefox manually and install it in ~/bin; that'd let the autoupdate work without needing root privs.
Another fun fact about the HP Color Laserjet 28xx series (their MFC color laser): if you change the SNMP values away from the default, you cannot scan over the network. Our site requires SNMP be set to a certain value, and when it was set so, any program trying to scan from that printer complained that the scanner was in use. The only solution was to switch back to default and not worry about monitoring those printers.
HP's finally put something up on their webshite about that, but it took many months of beating my head against the wall--mainly because the first printer we got with that problem, the scanner component was merely nice-to-have for that user.
the fact that you don't let being wrong about basic facts get in the way of your marijuana advocacy, i.e. what linen is and what the Constitution is written on (parchment).
I'm in favor of relaxing the War on Some Drugs, but your ignorance isn't doing yourself any favors.
Honestly the reason people think twice about hemp for industrial use is that the people advocating its use are always in favor of smoking marijuana as well, so to put it mildly, there's questions about their impartiality and motivations.

I suspect that a number of Bush loyalists truly believe that he's a great president and that what he's doing to our rights &c is /right/.
I can't get into the headspace of that sort of person, but I can easily see people who "think" like that.
More than that: bleeding.
Kallisti.
But after the effort we all went to on FISA, I know better.

"Peekaboo". Would you have guessed it?
Why not? NASA killed JFK so they could get funding for the fake lunar movie sets.
Funnily enough, the Vietnam War drained enough money that we couldn't afford to keep sending up Apollo or work on lunar colonies.

That'll win hearts and minds for sure.
At least you didn't say Florida. That would have called for pistols at dawn.
I rather doubt apt-listbugs existed in 2001. I'd certainly never heard of it back then.
I might think "Have a good time in Valhalla" or something similar, though.

After that I switched to Testing.
Is this to do with LSB requiring that RPM be available?
Cool. What's he look like?
Only if I can put on my robe and wizard hat.

You need to update your distro to Hardy, or perhaps add in the backports repository.
Would that be the Universal Postscript driver?
I wish HP (and other mfgrs) would pull their heads out and make, if not PS, at least PCL5 or 6 universally supported by printers.

Wrong. Linen is made from flax.

It'd be really helpful if more distros complied with the FHS and LSB out of the box.
