2009 was only 6 years ago, so I'm not sure what 1999 has to do with it :P
No joke -- Debian is a treasure trove of archival releases. Ask any other distro if they still have stable tarballs from kernel v2, and the answer will simply be "no".

In the days of Woody (3.0), we started producing DVDs reliably for every release from r5 onwards. Later releases included both CDs and DVDs as a matter of course.
Starting with Etch (4.0), we started making multi-architecture CDs/DVDs which would boot and allow for installation on more than one type of computer.
Starting with Lenny (5.0), we added Blu-ray (BD) images, downloadable only in jigdo format for the sake of mirror space and bandwidth. We also regularly produced live images - bootable images that run completely from the CD/DVD/USB stick and do not need to be installed to your hard disk. (More details...)
Starting with Squeeze (6.0), we started building CDs and DVDs for kfreebsd-amd64 and kfreebsd-i386, marking the first released non-Linux port of Debian.
Ah okay -- as in, he seemed to like it(?) but he was also way too young for it to have been having it
Apologies - it was not my intention to paint those who have difficulty communicating as non-teachers. I myself am not a great verbal communicator, and construct thoughts far better in text than on-demand with sound.
"Verbal" was a poor choice of words in my original comment. I only meant that if you are asked to explain a task you do often through whatever means are available to you, and you are unable to in your own mind create an analog of it to something else, then that is a sign of overtraining
“My momma cleaned hunter’s cabins and those hunters were real nice men if you know what I mean.”
I'm a bit dense. They were "nice" to each other, or "nice" to him, or they were actually nice looking, or...?
I feel like it's more than that though. Some researchers go too deep into their field that an adjacent one tied to the same goal becomes alien to them (e.g. developmental biology vs pharmacology)
Techies are very good because they own a thorough understanding of the low-level implementation of a tasks requirements, they can tell you exactly how they converted an input to an output down the finest T. But they do not necessarily know how to generalise, they've overtrained and specialised on that specific task that taking it into another context is foreign to them -- i.e., they've learned a task within a specific environment but do not know what the task means outside of it, and in a way... haven't actually learned what the task means.
Project managers (and, in theory, CTO's...) have a high level overview of the task. They might not know how to implement it directly, but they know enough from a conceptual standpoint to extrapolate the task and apply it to different situations and understand the bigger picture that the task takes place in.
My whole argument is that neither the Techie nor the Project manager are masters of the task, because they see the task in different isolated scopes; one from a high level overview and one from a low level implementation.
A Teacher understands both -- what the task is, how to extrapolate it to different situations, and how to implement it
oh right true, that's the issue -- stock android

oh nice -- this is mod action right, a user can't lock their own comment for further reply.. or?
The donkey pulling that cart could not be reached for further comment
"tetris, can you come over? it will just take 10 minutes because I cant shift because of my back, and you were the one that put the bed there if you remember, and your aunt is coming on the third..."
vs.
"tetris, can you move the bed if you've got 10 minutes? My back hurts and your aunt will be visiting."
