Some of the mirrors had it , then (pulled it?). Here's a US mirror that has the Final isos now : http://mirror.yellowfiber.net/linuxmint/stable/12/ For the rest of the countries, try tweaking the URLs similar to the above and you may get

I'm Indian and the first thing i did was look at that bar chart about people's attitudes towards 'fate'. No surprise to me, India ranks highest on the fatalism curve - 80% of us believe we are helpless to choose our path to success. ...whic

RMS would still piss certain people off, if he'd instead said : "I am not the least bit upset SJ is gone. I've always fundamentally disagreed with the movements he spearheaded, to take away the user's freedom." RMS is supposedly autistic, a

I've been sticking to 10.04 LTS for quite some time. I'm finally starting to appreciate the old adage 'If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it'. LTS works ultra-reliably.

Now every Indian adolescent boy can watch 1080p porn in private. Seriously, I hope this gets put to good use by schools for textbooks too. Boys will be boys.

Reminds me of the last Github post I'd read about their load-balancer setup from their server guy(2009): http://www.anchor.com.au/blog/2009/10/load-balancing-at-gith... Willy Tarreau (author of HAproxy) had sparked a nice discussion in th

My condolences. May you find comfort in the good memories. Last year, I lost my dad. He was 57; He died on his birthday. I miss his quirky sense of humor.
