Kernel prepatch 3.6-rc7
The 3.6-rc7 kernel prepatch is out; this
one includes a codename change to "Terrified Chipmunk." Linus says:
"So if everything works out well, and the upcoming week is calmer
still, I suspect I can avoid another -rc. Fingers crossed."

I can't -- g+ always tells me that I'm logged in as the wrong user and asks for username/password. Irritating.

Mozilla Firefox is for personal stuff and Google Chrome is for work. Google used to be smarter and allowed the personal login to coexist with the corporate one, but then they broke it.

I *hate* this behavior of Google websites. I log out of my profile often and any time I try to visit Groups or Docs (now Drive), even for publicly visible pages, it instead directs me to log in. I end up nuking all Google cookies instead and then the link works. Why do people who have no account with Google have an easier time accessing public Google pages than those who choose to log out do?[1]
[1]I know the (or rather, an) answer, but it's silly that it even has to be asked.

I don't, and I'd love to. Why does it make sense for Google to request a login when I visit (for instance) public Google Groups?

My interpretation is that "they" want users to think that Google == the web. Which isn't too ridiculous a target, given many already think that the web == the Internet.
As the saying goes, when Google splits from the rest of the Internet, which side of the split will be the Internet?

meanwhile.. canonical has decided on the side that contains amazon:

nothing wrong with linux-based making money on referrals, but they really ought to be upfront explicit about it. and an easy opt-out is always a nice feature, (which, for now, Ubuntu apparently has)

The best part is that, if you're logged into an apps account that isn't provisioned for the service, it tells you to log in to another account. Then you log into that account and it tells you again to log in to another account. etc.
I've told some Googler friends about this, and I think they're filed bug reports, but the new fancy multi-account sign-in thing remains terminally broken. It's been bad for at least a year, I think.
My (partial) solution: all of my cookies are wiped every time I restart my browser. It turns out they're not all that important.

I've filed bugs as well, but there's no indication of whether your request is ignored or on some TODO list somewhere. Of course, my feedback tends to be more on the "unlikely to fix" end of things[1], but at least a "CLOSED WONTFIX" message would be nice.

I have Chromium wipe cookies every time, but uzbl is my default browser and it keeps cookies around which causes the Google services to get confused like this.
[1]Some examples: "Where is the NNTP gateway to Google Groups to read lists properly threaded?", "Where can I find the email address for a Google Group so I can use a useful email client?", "On Android, Chrome sucks at searching history."[2], and "Why can't I set Chrome to use DuckDuckGo from the search bar (or at least SSL for Google)?"[3].

My problem is with friends who have a google mail account but not a plus account. I've got them set to be notified by email of my plus posts, but I can't see ANY details about them in my circle - not even who they are!
I happen to know, but that's just plain stoopid ...
Cheers,

rc7 is quite stable compiled using my automated php script
http://mapopa.blogspot.ro/2009/01/building-kernel-2.html I think the video playing on chrome is smoother with latest radeon open source driver , full screen works great on youtube in hd mode with no artifacts , also no crashes on webgl
i didn't tested yet heavy games , xonotic , doom3 ...

A kernel-compiling *PHP* script? The horror, the horror...
(yes, it may work perfectly well, but IMNSHO the right place for PHP is the bottom of the Marianas Trench... or on the Web, if absolutely necessary, a place sometimes hard to distinguish from the bottom of the Marianas Trench.)

Why inject language advocacy here? Looking to go wildly off topic?

I was just momentarily terrified by the thought of using PHP to drive a build system. It's not quite as bad as using DBase IV (something I saw long, long ago), but it's getting there.

Don't worry, it's just using a PHP script as if it were a shell script:

There was a time when people would be horrified to see JavaScript anywhere outside the browser. Now, with Node, it's becoming a fairly capable systems programming language.
I fully share your disdain for PHP but I think there's still a (slim) chance that a well written PHP script might pleasantly surprise me. And, happily, it's usually easy to rewrite a working script into a different language.

A lot of people are STILL horrified to see JS outside the browser. Hmm. A lot of people are horrified by it even INSIDE the browser.
