You know what's really hateful?
The fact that "uptime in months, downtimes are scheduled maintenance
windows" isn't what everyone just expects.
I think that what's really hateful is how "uptime" is measured. For
example, the krashing of Konsole doesn't affect uptime counts, even
though 75% of my apps were killed. When X crashes, it's not downtime,
either, even though 100% of my apps were killed.
:p :( 8P o_O;;;
(PS: the world NEEDS an emoticon-based programming language)
We could start by upgrading the Thunderbird emoticon parser. For
example, it only managed to convert :( to an icon with a yellow face. I
think it desperately needs to be able to recognize the other smilies.
Once a mature front-end is available, figuring out the semantics
shouldn't be very hard.
