  1. Not yet on the House floor on PROTECT-IP Makes Its Way To the Floors of Congress · · Score: 2

    To be fair, so far this bill has only been referred to the Judiciary Committee; it is not yet on the floor of the House of Representatives as a whole. The vast majority of bills die in committee, so let's hope this one does as well. You can track the progress of the bill at http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=h112-3261.

  2. Re:Obligatory "does it matter?" on Debian Maintainer Hints At September Release for Lenny · · Score: 5, Informative

    There's now a security repository for testing, just like there is for stable, and the repos are in a default sources.list if you install testing directly. http://secure-testing-master.debian.net/

  3. Re:'Tain't no fork, but a distro on Too Many Linux Distros Make For Open Source Mess · · Score: 1

    And even with Iceweasel and Icedove, those patches still go back upstream to Mozilla. As of the beginning of June, at least, Iceweasel used only a subset of the patches that Ubuntu puts on its Firefox, and those go back upstream...

  4. Re:So, Linux will be preinstalled on Dell computer on Linux Preinstalled Dell Available Soon · · Score: 2, Funny

    Cliche overload! My brain has been slashdotted...

  5. Now, if only... on Linux Preinstalled Dell Available Soon · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...they'd start making laptops with cases that don't threaten to break every 5 minutes, I'd consider buying another one after my current one. But if they don't, I'm still going to seriously consider buying a Thinkpad.

  6. Video Downloads Down? on Walmart Rejects Firefox and Safari · · Score: 1

    As of right now, the Walmart Video download service is "currently unavailable due to temporary site maintenance. We apologize for any inconvenience." Maybe they realized their mistake and are trying to fix it?
