Re: ads... An adblocker makes his site so much more tolerable. I'm using the one built into Konqueror, with Fanboy's list. I never see an ad on Larabel's site.
Re: stories... he could stand to diversify his links somewhat. He'll write about J. Random Thing, and sprinkle his articles with links to other of his own articles, but rarely to the thing he's writing about. Grrr.
But yeah, I agree, he's on top of the news usually, so I keep going back. And back. LOL.

Now I understand.
I was concerned about the lack of attention given to the bug I reported recently.

Now I understand, they are busy with more important things.

The Conrad Centennial in Singapore, my home-away-from-home for a few years, raised its collective middle finger to the number 13. All 36 stories.

Since the number 13 has negative connotations in many countries, it was decided change the numbering of the versions.

I've been thinking about filing a bug report after reading comments about the clockwise / anti-clockwise icon "bug" that has been reported. The "bug" I have discovered is that Ubuntu does not identify itself as a "GNU/Linux" or simply "Linux" operating system.

No point in protesting (points for the effort, though), these are the "bogus" bug reports Canonical pulls of every cycle, when they have already decided to "fix" them.
Always moronic, incredibly late in the cycle and filed by someone working for Canonical.

Common practice in any organization. An employee identifies a problem, and already knows how to fix it, but first that employee reports the problem, often exaggerating the importance of it, then after a suitable delay suddenly "discovers" a solution so that the employee gets credit for fixing a problem. Some employees will even go so far as to cause the problem in the first place. Cases have occurred of firefighters starting a fire so that they can get recognition for putting it out.
