A team of scientists has submitted a formal request to test the remains of William Shakespeare for drugs. Notably, for marijuana, since remains of clay pipes found in his garden have been tested positive for four-twenty. If they get permission, we may have to adjust our view on his world famous plays quite substantially.

After over 150 entries in a bugzilla bug over Adobes' broken 64 bit flash player, there still is nobody that is fixing the problem. Even Linus Torvalds himself has given his comment that no matter who broke it, Fedora should just fix it, since the end users don't care. Fedora developers so far refuse to revert a change to glibc that triggers the bug in Adobes's software, "because the bug is in Adobes' software and Adobe knows it's in there".
In the mean time, end users are left with glitches and broken sound in their 64 bit OS experience, and only a few found the cause and remedy for this in the bug description. Right now there is even a plea to stop submitting comments to the bug, in the hope that the developer might want to revisit it and read what should have been done weeks ago. Is it really so that developers, in this time and age, can dictate what gets commented to a bug and what gets fixed in such a big community project, just because they are the ones with write access to a repository?
