Packages should not contain both tools and policies
If you install the Ubuntu mdadm package on a machine with nosoftware RAID arrays, it will 'helpfully' email you every dayto report:
checkarray: W: no active MD arrays found.
checkarray: W: (maybe uninstall the mdadm package?)
(The message comes from the /usr/share/mdadm/checkarray shell script.)
This is a terrible idea , forreasons beyond that it's not an error. (It might be an error if thescript bothered to check to see if
Minimalistic spam, another annoyance to worry about
I've started getting advance fee fraud spam which have as their entirecontents something like this:
You won Three Million Pounds.contact Anita Meyer :
At first I was amused by the minimalism and lack of effort on thespammer's part; it'd be hard to get an advance fee fraud attempt in lesswords. But the more I think about it, the more that I think this may bemore clever than it looks (whether or not it's deliberate).
迷幻蜜柑發爛渣
蜜柑經常抓癢, 抓到頸上結痂積厚. 例行公事帶他到獸醫診所篤一針(防疫針) 時, 診斷頸上的疤是皮膚發炎. 獸醫幫他剃毛清除傷口, 餵了藥. 藥力發作期間, 蜜柑整天陷入呆滯狀態,「口mak mak」, 貓鼻全日通紅. 蜜柑睡得不

Microsoft進軍大銀幕，「搞乜鬼奪命雜作」式大製作。
兩個月前，Microsoft先煞有介事地，在網上放了一條這樣的電影式Teaser影片。
今個月頭，Office 2010大電影正式大鑼大鼓，再來一條媲美荷里活大製作，類似「廿一世紀嚇人網絡之驚細陰謀是旦籌旗大雜作」的電影Trailer(即係Scary Movie系列果類
Why NFS filehandles fail as access capabilities
I think it's clear that Sun initially intended NFS filehandles to serve as capabilities , ieopaque tokens that could be used to grant access to useful thingslike your files.
