I wanted to try some different game than the FPS where you go and chomp, shoot or saw the baddies, terrorists or aliens. While these games are fun and great for getting rid of the stress of dealing with "ID ten T" or "PEBKAC" errors all day. To satisfy this need for fantasy, control and strategy while still killing things I started browsing through the games section of the Debian repository.

"When Mozilla developers decided to incorporate the Cairo subsystem and build a new graphics layer from scratch, they also decided to completely rework the system that renders text in the browser."

After many years of hard work, the old FSF order form has been retired and replaced with a brand new web store, based on code from the Satchmo project. You can now show your support for freedom in software and computing by buying some cool t-shirts, books, stickers, reference cards and other FSF/GNU gear.

I thought it would be fun to look at Chris Sontag's testimony as a whole, instead of just covering the SCO v. Novell trial according to the particular day. Sontag was called by Novell on the first day, April 29, 2008.

"As per title: OCaml 3.10.2 (... and friends of course) today has entered testing, as such it will be released with Debian Lenny. Yay..."

"GCC 4.3.1 has been released. GCC 4.3.1 is a bug-fix release, containing fixes for regressions in GCC 4.3.0 relative to previous GCC releases..."

Independent tests show that Red Hat Linux pulls as much as 12% less power than Windows 2008 on identical hardware
