Thank you. I filed an RFE on the Easterly and Westerly components to have them renamed to something more descriptive. I suggested FromTheEast and FromTheWest but I do not know how keen on CamelCase climatologists are. As for the fog, that was closed as WORKSFORME within seconds of being opened. I countered that the bug could not be reliably triaged at night, I was them promptly banned from climatezilla. As for burning the furniture, I suggest that we simply forego the restaurant and meet at Shlomi's place. Shomi, does the couch have enough wood to keep up warm the whole night w^w^w^w^w^w^w is the couch big enough for all of us? Is there adequate ventilation (Shlomi posts on /., so maybe not). -- Dotan Cohen http://gibberish.co.il http://what-is-what.com _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
