I was dismayed when I got the news that Debian-based Maemo was being dumped, but I talked myself in to believing Nokia+IBM might be able to turn out something good with MeeGo
The value of TZ can be one of three formats. The first format is used
when there is no daylight saving time in the local timezone:
std offset
The std string specifies the name of the timezone and must be three or
more alphabetic characters. The offset string immediately follows std
and specifies the time value to be added to the local time to get Coorâ
dinated Universal Time (UTC). The offset is positive if the local
timezone is west of the Prime Meridian and negative if it is east.
Debian fans don't really care. They want a nice, predictable, stable server. This goal is antagonistic to having an exciting new dev box, which is what Ubuntu is for.
Rubbish. What dev would want a system as out-of-date as Ubuntu? Devs use Debian Unstable.
It's already bad enough to think that a new Linux user would want a browser called "IceWeasel" or would understand that it's really just Firefox renamed because of some silly branding/icon tiff with the mozilla folks.
I see many people have already given the utilitarian reason for the whole Firefox/Iceweasel thing, but we should not forget the matter of principle.
If Debian included Firefox not only would Debian not be able to distribute modified versions but Debian users would not be able to distribute modified versions. Debian refuses to remove freedom from its users. (This is why the suggestion that Debian get a special authorisation from Mozilla fell through - even if Debian was allowed to call their modified version Firefox Debian users wouldn't be able to modify it further and distribute in their turn).
Anyway, Squeeze includes Chromium so who gives a damn about Iceweasel anyway!
Looks like the time I got hacked (my fault, had a crappy password).
Idiot was so dumb he didn't zap the bash history file.
Spent a lot of time downloading and failing to install rootkits and other hacking tools, not having noticed that it was a UnixWare machine and not Linux.
The London Stock Exchange’s new open source trading system may have been hacked last year, according to a report.

As the concern and speculation deepens around the LSE outages, the exchange is due to switch on the new Linux systems on its main exchange in two weeks’ time,
they were reserved for multicast, back when everyone thought TV/movies would be distributed through the web. Multicast (1 server stream sending to lots of clients) never really took off though....

Nah, you should get rid of sleepycat 'cos its a fucking disaster.
Oh, Nokia fucked it up. Drat.
(Yay for N900 comunity release!)
Extremely surprising. Are you sure? About the graphics drivers?
Uh, if your prompt ends with a "#"...

Nokia + who?
ITYM Intel, not IBM.
Bizarre. Mine is still working.
Also has the advantage of being open. You don't need Nokia to release software for it. Anyone can.
Yeah, he's got an iPhone.
The PHP bug was reported on Dec. 30 and fixed I think on Jan. 3, which is 5 days.
Yow! 5 days.
I wonder what happened between Dec 30 and Jan 3? Anything that might of distracted the developers?
All of them.
Blame AT&T.
man TZ on linux:
Parents don't "own" children. They have a duty of care towards the children they care for.

Hey, thanks for the reminder, haven't checked my articles recently.
So, nobody wants to sleep with you?

So, did you get a boner?
You can tell us.
You could RTFA... :)
Huh? I thought I was reading slashdot.
It's not illegal to possess cell phones or bring them into California prisons, although it is illegal for federal prisons.
Then how is giving a phone to a prisoner "smuggling"?

I run ICL George 3 (on as emulated ICL 1900) as a hobby.
The OS, last modified in early 1980, has no Y2K bugs.
One utility program has a Y2K bug.
