From their website "we can insure that the most modern high-speed service is available to ALL residents of central Vermont towns." I wonder how much insurance like that costs? I'd like to get some for my Internet connection.:)
Yeah, I've seen how small the Wii is. My current (dying) dvd player is about as small as a Wii. In addition to the space the unit takes up I'm also out of video inputs, so even if I could cram the Wii in I'd still need to buy a bigger RCA switch box. For me it's just not worth the hassle of trying to get this to work. I'm happy waiting for DVD playback capabilities. If the Wii still can't play DVDs when the "Super Wii" comes out, then maybe I'll at casting off the rarely used VCR in favor of a Wii.
Actually I'm refusing to buy a Wii because it doesn't have DVD playback. I have a $30 DVD player that's dying that I'll need to replace soon. When it does die I'll get another disposable $30 player unless the Wii can play DVDs (in which case I'll buy a Wii). My entertainment center is already crammed full of equipment. I simply don't have room to add another device, so until the Wii can fill the role of my DVD player I've got no room for the Wii.
Granted most people aren't as short on space as I am, but I would think that the ability to simplify their AV setup buy combining these two devices into one would be something the majority of people would appreciate.
You're right, I just diffed my localtime and the zoneinfo files and they're identical. Your symlink solution does sound like a more flexible/elegant solution.
I ran into the same problem with FC2. I fixed it by using 'system-config-date' to change to a different timezone, exit, and then rerun 'system-config-date' to switch back to your correct timezone. I think that the same fix would work for old RH as well.
How is this (checking website URLs looking for email usernames) any different then a spammer simply testing gmail addresses directly. I.e. couldn't a spammer just send emails to random gmail addresses, see which ones bounce, then add the non-bounces to his good email list? Unless there's some way to prevent that, I don't see how having a URL with your username in it increases your spam risk.

That's pretty optimistic to think that DNF will be out before IPv6 is obsolete. My money's on a combined launch of DNF and IPv8.
