I work for a company that allows flex time up to 120 minutes. Meaning...regular buisness hours for our company are 8am-5pm, but most of our engineers, designers, shop workers and general production workers are allowed to show up 120 minutes past 8am (as long as they stay the same amount of time past 5pm). Only the front office workers who answer the phone and such have to be there to open. This works out very well for most people because life does not always happen on a set schedule. What if your kid gets sick or misses the bus? You WILL be late someday. A flex schedule let's employees know that the company trusts them to get their work done and feels that they are responsible enough to not have someone telling them where to be and when.
I completely agree with this Coward..To expect a new OS to hit the shelves 100% bug free is just stupid. It's impossible for any QA team to possibly test an OS against every possible situation. The glory of Open Source is that if I try something new and it p00ps then I can fix it myself and then let everyone else know about the problem. It seems to me that Open Source means that everyone who uses the product is part of the QA team...sorta...
