It's a headache. The last kernel that flawlessly worked for me was 2.6.4, the rest had very annoying cd/rw problems and kept filling up my syslog, or SELinux giving me segfaults every other hour. The only thing that would force me to upgrade would be a security vulnerability.
gcc 3.4 is notoriously buggy. The maintainers have advised to upgrade to 3.4.1, I think. Of course, by the 2nd release candidate, they won't be using 3.4 anymore, but why use it at all here?
but, we don't want to bring pc mentatlity to consoles. If they had advertised this "upgrade" as a cheat code, woul we have cared? Is that even possible?
If you hang out on the Cooker mailing list, you'll see that these guys favor the Debian way of doing things. You can see that with their new release model
If you're frustrated and angry, do something else. Your pranks will probably not amuse anyone but yourself. Or just focus on one person to play the prank on. I think it's rude to subject everybody to it.
""$12 mil bone" is surely a positive thing for them."
That sure remains to be seen. Embrace, extend, and exterminate is the MS way. This is just a variation on the theme.
The money is nice, but I don't see MS apologizing for damages. I'm not even sure if the made the page compliant. It just looks like MS wants Opera to shut up, so they tell them: "go fetch this $12 mil bone".
" followed by well-propagated news on the reasons for this punishment"
Neither is willing to confirm or deny the claims. The way it looks to me is that MS is paying Opera to shut up about it. Opera is getting money, but that's all they're gettting.
Same thing for me. I found that the most interesting stuff being done was by the math department at my university. The math department has classes in computer algebra, numerical analysis, numerical linear algebra, and data mining which I think should be part of the cs curiculum.
Embedding text inside a picture and encrypting is pretty useless and dangerous anyway. If the text is encrypted, it is more easily detectable. The reason: most encryption algorithms begin with a characteristic block, like "BEGIN SHA 1 " (hence, all one has to do is scan the picture for the string containing "BEGIN SHA 1") which indicates 2 things: there is a hidden text, and it is encrypted, and the algorithm used is SHA. One could run a dictionary attack on the text, and decrypt it.

Line wraps are a no-no for us. The 80-col limit is respected because it makes everyone's life easier.
You make it sound like it's a bad thing to use OO.
More like Duke Nukem Forever.
How is your opinion of U2 insightful in any way?

That's a lie, mandrake never charges for downloading updates. The installation only requires 3 cds, not 4.
Hopefully people switching to FF will mean that more bugs will be squatched from it. Perfect timing for that 1.0 release.

Same as pr0n
generated words from a dictionary too, sort of like computer-fenerated poetry.

Dude, Opera accepted the money, they're as responsible as MS
Firefox does have a google tool bar
WTF is Arch and why should I care?
The preview-latex mode is god send too.

Sure, it is undecipherable. But one misses the point of steganography. That was my point.

Doesn't make either one less wrong.
CITI Bank uses it for it's credit cards(CITI cards, http://www.citicards.com). I wouldn't use that for banking.
