I've been a linux user since '96 and have long-since given up on clicking on anything on CNN's site, because of all the times I've been burned by them "detecting" whether or not I can display something. Nine times out of ten, linux's video playing capabilities far outweigh those of other platforms, but like eight of those times, some helpful webmaster has decided that I probably can't and therefor I can't.

Thanks for visiting, Matthew. I've been lurking on your site since I discovered that Richard was reading mine (I love to explore new blogrolls, especially short ones, cos there are only two reasons for a short blogroll - either you don't have any good links or you're VERY selective).

I have an issue with the new time change...specifically that the time is going to "fall back" 2 weeks earlier too. That simply means that winter will start earlier (perception wise). I don't see the point. Think of all the energy wasted by everyone trying to prepare for the new DST! ie...all the computer IT people who had to deal with fixing all the servers, smart phones, computers, etc....what a waste & what a joke! Although...I do enjoy the fact that it's lighter longer now. I'm not a fan of DST in the first place...I think it should be done away with!

I don't know why its labelled as such. I see that in some Ubuntu builds, its got the same name.
