Yet another late Test Day announcement: today/tomorrow, 2011-09-26, is ABRT Test Day, particularly focusing on ABRT’s new libreport integration. As always, you can join #fedora-test-day on Freenode IRC to chat with developers and QA team members to get help with the testing and any issues you encounter, and if you’re not familiar with using IRC, [...]
From this story about the police arresting some kids with blacked-out pellet guns: “These toy guns look realistic to us as police officers, especially at night, and especially when the orange muzzles have been blackened out. We can’t tell the difference. And if we come across somebody who’s carrying a firearm like that, they are [...]
So, boy, was I right – Nokia just announced the N9 and the N950 (as a developer-only device). Holy crap, at last. I’ll take one of each! The processor isn’t anything special – the current crop of dual-cores from NVIDIA, Qualcomm and Samsung kick it into a cocked hat, really – but the rest of [...]
Last Thursday was the second GNOME 3 Test Day, and despite a rather smaller turnout than the first event, it went off very well, with a good pile of bugs being exposed. Vitezslav Humpa, who along with Radek Lat helped to organize this event, posted a recap to the mailing list with a good overview [...]

Slashdot comment threads can vary wildly in quality (thank you, I’ll accept my Understatement Of The Decade Award later), but just occasionally they’re brilliant. Here’s fuzzyfuzzyfungus rendering years, and billions of dollars, in free market rhetoric into a handy-dandy pocketable one-liner: “Any failure by the real world to precisely replicate the predictions of an Econ [...]
Yes, it’s not big, it’s clever, but it *is* very funny. From the Guardian’s comment section: MikeCawood wrote: ‘”Global warming” is simply a device used by Labour as a scam to screw more taxes out of the British population. Outside of that it doesn’t exist.’ lierbag: Ignore your detractors Mike. Unlike us, they just don’t [...]
