And chattr allows finer security tuning, perhaps with much more headache afterwards.

"chattr" is good for protecting yourself against yourself when you're root.

No, no, no.

Not "We don't care".

It means : "We care. We love you all. We want you to visit. We want you to have fun and we don't care if your kids trash the place. Because -- We care."

Could the unusually high temperature in the Mid West have anything to do with the pleasant attitude! :-)

@fettoosh --

It doesn't hurt.

We were scraping 70 today. Chicago. December.

(No, no, no! Not Mark Shuttleworth -- he's not nearly that bad. We're talking about a different beast, entirely.))

Not at all and I love it although it only reached 61 in Ann Arbor. Still, it is far better than 20s or 30s.

@fettoosh --

Ann Arbor is its own reward -- 61 in December is just icing on the cake.

80 in Dallas today. Almost too warm ! I've been singing "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" for days now.
