Secure apt updates:
I sent off the patch that walters and I have been working on. It implements secure updates for apt. It was only 2000 lines of unified diff, (but it had to be the right 2000 lines). I promised myself that I'd wait until this was done before buying a laptop. Now I should be able to get one soon :) See my home page for slightly more information and a link to the patch. I sent it out this morning and we're waiting for some feedback. I'm sure there will be more to do.

I'm in somewhat agreement with robocoder about april 1st. The above joke was really pretty funny as an inside joke (I actually don't know who pulled it off) but I had to wonder for a short period whether or not the server had been hacked. I actually had hoped for a little while that this was some sort of "agressive Linux marketing" thing we were planning.
bgeiger good to see you're learning Go! I don't know much about my rating yet, but I have been playing for about a year and recently started going to a club.
At OSU, it was previously believed that the best thing to yell out the window of a car was "Woooooooh!", but further research shows that its actually "MUTEX!".
I'd like to come up with a rule that tells me when its better to use which of the following two types in Haskell. I typically use the later:
type Foo = (A, B, C)
data Foo = Foo A B C
