I really think this is discriminatory towards all other countries in America, since it makes them look "less important". Which is of course not the case.
And lots of countries have their names shortened like this - Britain, Iran, North Korea, China, etc. all have much longer names that no one uses.Last edited by smitty3268; 05 July 2009, 01:40 PM.

I do understand what mcgreg is saying though; it seems like everyone is a lot more touchy about imagined offences these days. Maybe that means there has been progress in solving the real problems and now people are looking at the little stuff, but it seems to me that there are enough big problems in the world we should be trying to resolve first.
So, how's that new kernel working for everyone ?Last edited by bridgman; 05 July 2009, 01:56 PM.Test signature

The graphics part of 2.6.31-rc2 is working fine (as well as xf86-video-ati git normally works, anyway), but I have been having issues with ejecting DVDs from my optical drive for a few days now (git copies of Linus' linux-2.6 tree)
In gnome (ubuntu 9.04), either right click + eject, or pressing the eject button on the drive leads to the following:
Code:Cannot eject volume There was an error ejecting the volume or drive. org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.UnknownFailure: eject: unable to eject, last error: inappropriate ioctl for device.

I am testing that kernel now too, it has a major problem, device-mapper is broken. I found a working patch here:
Also for older gcc you need one additional patch:
