I was very surprised how smoothly the upgrade process went. All I had to do after the upgrades were to fix DVD udev rules and reconfigure the 5.1 audio. Nothing got majorly broken.
That said, I'm having some LiveTV stability issues with 0.23, which nobody else seems to be experiencing. I also had an issue with DVD mount crashing the mythtv frontend but that has now been fixed in the daily auto-builds.

Next time you buy groceries why don't you glance at all the mags at the checkout. Count how many have something about "Lose weight in 2 weeks" or "See how J-Lo dropped the pounds" or similar. Then come back and tell me again, sincerely, that women don't want to hear dieting tips.
There's time, place and a good way of bringing up potentially unpleasant issues, telling your spouse that "you look fat in those jeans" is not going to net you any karma points.

If we start marketing CS degree as a stepping stone to interesting careers and not just as a quick route to a cubicle farm somewhere, women will be interested. We need project managers with people skills who understand programming, we need UI designers who are familiar with the underlying technology, we need architects who know how to get management support for good quality initiatives etc.
I do have a CS degree but have always found programming mostly boring. I know how to do it and after graduating have taught myself a couple of new languages, but I'm not a programmer at heart. Thus I don't usually do coding, I do computer and network security.
