On the subject, Firefox 3.5 was out a week back, but I don't see it anywhere in the Ubuntu reps. Does anybody know why? and how long it'll take?

I'm running it now in Ubuntu. Just install Firefox-3.5 from universe.
After that I found the easiest way to make it default was to change the /usr/bin/firefox symlink to point to /usr/bin/firefox-3.5

In other (related) news, Slashdot today allowed me to disable all the ads on the site, simply for occasionally moderating an not posting stupid crap all the time. I was using adblock anyway but this removes the blank space and allows the content to expand into the areas the ads used to occupy.

Thank you Slashdot.

Hi Bruce,

Nice article. As I was reading it I was all ready to disagree and post here complaining that you didn't include the AGPL, but there it was on page 4. So thanks for introducing this license to so many that didn't know of it's reasons for existence.

90% of Gaming Addiction Patients Not Addicted 333

phorm writes "BBC is carrying an article which states that 90% of visitors to Europe's 'video game addiction clinic' are not, in fact, addicted. The problem is a social one rather than a psychological issue. In other words, the patients have turned to heavy gaming because they felt they didn't fit in elsewhere, or that they fit in better 'in the game' than elsewhere in 'the real world.' This has been discussed before, with arguments ranging from gaming being a good way to socialize, the clinical definition of gaming addiction, and claims than males are wired for video-game addiction."
