Novell (SuSE) just annouced SuSE 9.1 Novell Releases First Commercial Linux Featuring 2.6 Kernel.
Only, it’s not available until May 6th. ??.
Ahh semantics. Maybe this is the subtle difference between “for immediate release” and “for release”: “for immediate release” means “it’s important! now!” and “for release” means…”we can say whatever we like to bring attention to ourselves and not really say anything too specific”.
Only 59 days to go. How many more “releases” will there be about SuSE 9.1 before May 6th? - I put a list on my side bar.
It wouldn’t be too hard to whip up all my financial stats from the number of credit-card offers, bank statements, and birthday cards I empty into the recycling bin. Just Google “jane doe” - you can figure out their hobbies, graduation date, employer, marriage date, wife’s name, etc. etc. etc.
“Security breach lets criminals view Canadians’ credit reports”
I saw this episode in Spanish and it’s STILL funny…
| One agent suggests a new identity for Homer. | |
| Agent: | Tell you what, sir. From now on, you’ll be, uh, Homer Thompson at Terror Lake. Let’s just practise a bit, hmm? When I say, “Hello, Mr. Thompson,” you’ll say, “Hi.” |
| Homer: | Check. |
| Agent: | Hello, Mr. Thompson. |
| Homer: | [stares blankly] |
| Agent: | Remember now, your name is Homer Thompson. |
| Homer: | I gotcha. |
| Agent: | Hello, Mr. Thompson. |
| Homer: | [stares blankly] [A long time later] |
| Agent: | [sighs in frustration] Now, when I say, “Hello, Mr. Thompson,” and press down on your foot, you smile and nod. |
| Homer: | No problem. |
| Agent: | Hello, Mr. Thompson! [stomps on Homer’s foot a few times] |
| Homer: | [stares blankly] [to other agent] I think he’s talking to _you_. |

So many things mark the beginning of spring: vernal equinox, cherry blossoms, and wearing shorts (with a toque). I discovered another one this morning as I started my bike ride with the sweet smell of freshly cut grass!
Mmmmm…Can you smell it!?
