It would be nice if some of these distributions that are basically identical would merge together. Linux would likely be less confusing to Windows users if they didn't look and see 50 different versions of it.
Could http://xkcd.com/927/ apply to this as well?

The occasion that I comment about missing something due to being several hours ahead is one of the few occasions where it does not matter.

Being UTC+10 means that I read this story and get excited about watching the leap second, only to discover it happened last night.
I guess because I didn't notice means that I was ready.

MrSeb writes "No one can accuse Canonical of sitting around during the first quarter of 2012. With no less than six different release announcements since January, it seems that everything that Mark Shuttleworth’s company has been working on for the past few years is crystallizing all at once. With the release of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS today, Canonical is looking to end the quarter on a high note by providing a stable release that is aimed directly at enterprise deployments. Precise Pangolin doesn’t offer any new functionality that fans of the Ubuntu platform haven’t already seen — but it will be the first time that enterprise users get to use the controversial Unity UI..."

Comment: Allows mulitple monitors with rotation (Score 5, Interesting) 231
One thing which you cannot do with the official NVIDIA driver for GNU/Linux is have mixed rotation monitors. (I would like to be proven wrong - have even tried to prove myself wrong, but given up).
I currently have one monitor in portrait and one monitor in landscape and one monitor in landscape, with the ability to drag windows from one to the other. I have some acceleration, which allows me to see through terminal windows.
Nouveau works, official one does not work. Simple choice.

Offtopic: Why is there no way to 'fix' moderations. I have several times modded someone 'offtopic' or 'overrated' when I meant to put 'insightful', 'funny' or 'interesting. I then have to post and I then cannot moderate an article as I cannot delete a comment.

Apple has made it increasingly hard to charge one of their devices without an Apple charger (see http://www.ladyada.net/make/mintyboost/icharge.html).
Once they get a hold of this it will mean that all iDevices will only chage with authenticated Apple chargers.

Also, with a DD-WRT (or Openwrt) you can easily* enable internet access only on Sunday.

As mentioned, you divide by 0, since step 5 "Remove cancelling values (a - b)" means "Divide both sides by (a - b)"
a = b therefore a-b = 0
The step now becomes "Divide both sides by 0"
a = b therefore a-b = 0
The step now becomes "Divide both sides by 0"
