CBS relented and renewed Jericho. Yay! This is a good show that, like other serials, was hurt by a mid-season hiatus. I don't understand why 24 seems to be the only prime-time show whose producers get this: run your show straight through if it's a continuing story

A school refused to give diplomas to students for whom people cheered at graduation.

Are they STILL pulling that kind of bunk? When I graduated from high school, they told us that if we threw our caps, we would not get our diplomas. This had us all in a tizzy -- until we started saying, "What are they gonna do? Hold the entire student body back a year?!?" And when our class president stood on the stage and took off his cap, we all followed suit and threw 'em up in the air. We did, of course, receive our diplomas. :)

I've tried several times to configure Debian; I just can't!

I haven't tried Debian. After failing with Red Hat, I kind of lost interest. (So I haven't tried Ubuntu, even though it is reputed to be much easier.) Someday I will be able to buy a machine pre-configured with Linux. Actually, I can now; it's just called OS X.
