• What’s New in FreeBSD 7.0
  I wish I had extra time to tinker with it. Haven’t tried *BSD all my FOSS life. But in time, I sure will.

Digg’s comment service rocks. I haven’t tried to comment on a dugg article for a long time. Today when I dugg a great article about FreeBSD 7.0, I observed two cool things about the commenting stuff:

1. A spellchecker for one’s comment. Firefox already has spellcheck feature, which I don’t see in Flock, unfortunately. I’m not even sure if IE has that feature. In any case, Digg comes in for such valuable tool.
2. A chance to edit one’s comment in two minutes. So even if you already submitted your comment with relative confidence, Digg assumes that second thoughts may come about.

Digg takes things professionally. And I admire it for that.

Caught this video on inquirer.net:

The last words that Pres. Arroyo said in her March 4 speech in Malacanang are these:

In the Philippines, there is still due process, rule of law, and utmost respect of the Constitution. This is my pledge as President and Commander-in-Chief.

Indeed, this poses a great challenge to the nascent anti-Gloria movement on how to make her change her mind and leave her office with humility and honor.

  I can’t relate on some tips but they’re worth a try. I think I may need to write my own version of it ;P
