    Exactly. And that's good. Better than weeks of 24x7 reporting of several thousand casualties instead. Them Brittish folk are pretty good at hunting down them Quran Kevorkians. Even those Candian fellers spoiled their stuff your turbin parade a few weeks back. I can't recall too many such revelations here in the States since that scraggly looking Reid feller bent over to tie his Air Nike Napalms. To be honest, I really wish I heard more of these stories here in the States. I think no news is bad news.

    I believe Oliver Stone is currently in post production of "Biatch, I Shrunk my Cellmate", starring Josh with Rick Moranis as his prison poon. Josh slips through the bars and later blogs his video adventures of red and black ants fighting over dead camels in Iraq. I've seen the trailer, and the worst part is when a black ant straps some cream of wheat to his belly and charges a red mound yelling "lu lu lu lu lu lu"...

    Yeah, I dunno about that one. Have you ever smelled astroturf up close? It smells more like an athlete using a oak leaf for a washcloth. Slashdot smells more like a roomful of Europeans using the biday if you ask me.

    Is it true that one of your developers got fired for wearing a Trilby?
    Why, yes. Yes, I was! But the fact I wore a trilby and nothing else did not violate the "Casual Friday" section of the Employee Handbook. They used section 10 under "Sexual Harrasment" guidelines instead. A mere technicality if you ask me.

And of course, you the slashdot reader, for encouraging me to stand up for the little guy being oppressed. I will always remember and cherish this award. God Bless America. God Bless slashdot.

    Funny enough, but I'm working on a KDE/Qt frontend to dpkg for my kubuntu breezy box. It will more than likely be vaporware though, as that's my specialty! Those are nice features to have btw, especially the subscription interface and email notification. I know one genius (of Einsteinian proportions) named Cactus who runs Arch linux on his servers who did something similar for pacman, calling it _NUS. If I find these features in the current debian pm tool suite, I'll be sure to let you know.

    One way is to refer to the Ubuntu package database. Then, after selecting the appropriate release and package name, you can click on the "Changelog" link near the bottom for that particular package. For example, for libglitz1 in breezy.

    I do not believe dpkg provides an option for such a query based on a package not already installed. The only one I know that does is "apt-file", but it does not return changelog info, just file listings. I wish I had a better solution for you, as it would be nice to know as well.

    Go ahead. You know you want to. Take pleasure in your guilt my friend. Linux is for studs, and Gnome is like wet hair and a sweet sweet marlboro in the mouth. I'm currently puffing on a KDE swisher sweet though.
