Chimerians going it alone

David Hyatt: Confessions of a Mozillian

I filed a bug, asked for help in downloading the source code (the CVS server wasn't sending .nib files properly), but it took days and days to finally get a response. The information on the chimera website was out of date and I was downloading from the wrong repository.

The releases are coming fast and furious, and that's great, but as someone who can't run Chimera (I think it's because it's being built on 10.1.4 and there's an incompatibility somewhere with 10.1.3), it's frustrating to offer help testing and fixing bugs and not being able to.

Americans seeking refugee status in Canada

CNEWS: Dozens of Yanks seek refuge here

A reader commenting on the CANOE site said Americans shouldn't be offered refugee status because their government doesn't torture or harass their population.

Well, first of all, I think it's offensively discriminatory to not offer Americans refugee status, and secondly, the government does harass and torture their and other people. There are many people being held by the US government without charges or legal representation, and there are reports that these people are being treated inhumanely.
