This is great. Milestones and assignees are the only things I've found myself missing in Issues besides file attachments. Now I just wish there were a way to mass edit issues without checking each one individually. It's going to be a pain

Less Linux-savvy Ubuntu users are less likely to try out a non-mainstream distro/variant. It's hard to find the "best ones" without testing these new features on these users. Sometimes your users are your Guinea pigs. I think Ubuntu will

Mozilla had getfirefox.com but not firefox.com. Dropbox had getdropbox.com but not dropbox.com. Songbird still only has getsongbird.com I don't think this will be too big of a problem for them. Getyolk.com is shorter than all of those.

The hex clock seems to jump every once in a while, probably compensating for the large difference in the number of hexadecimal color values and seconds in a 24 hour day. How are the color values related to the seconds here?

DNS is really just a huge peer-to-peer network with a few central nodes, so this shouldn't be too difficult. You can already use an alternate primary nameserver, such as Google's 8.8.8.8. You'd just need your alternate nameserver to maint
