    I'm always hopeful, but there was another state/city in Germany (Munich I think?) that tried to do this a long time ago, then after 10 years of not being able to move entirely over, they moved back to MS, then I think they tried again. Really flip-flopped a lot. I think stuff like this needs to be more organic in its movement rather than big bangs and milestones. Just let it creep in and take over.

    First UNIX was QNX, random free CD on a magazine.

    First Linux was Mandrake 7.0, then moved to RedHat, then distro hopped for about...20-25 years so far I guess :-p

    Exactly. I keep hearing this "they're taking our jobs" argument, and it's been going on for a long time. The people saying this are not lookng at the stats of how many people are now employed compared to 10, 100 years ago. From the industrial revolution onwards, it's been generally an upward trend.

    It's the best characteristic of English, I think. It's alive, it changes and we do very little to prevent that from happening (unlike French or German).

    Pro tip: -z, -j are not needed by tar anymore since many years, tar will autodetect what compression was used if your distro is anything remotely modern.

    It's not a million miles away from the truth. The UK and France were the main advocates behind the ITU, so they got +33 and +44. Which is...fine...but I've not come across why NA got +1, etc. or even why those numbers were chosen at all.

    I'm not Canadian, but as a Brit I also say Zed instead of Zee but I've never heard someone say Zed instead of Zero. WTF.

    Sorry if this isn't the correct place to ask, but I've noticed on my homepage (correct term?) the feed updates top down (I'm using Active mode) and it sometimes does it in bursts (so new posts come through at once), this causes my place in the scroll to be moved, so I lose my place. Is there a way to stop the feed? Then I can just refresh manually once I've reached the bottom for example? Many thanks!
