The old conflict between China and Taiwan about flag and name of both countries is coming to your computer desktop now - or should we better say it's coming not: As Salon reports, a distributor of the alternative Operating System Linux, Red Hat, did remove the flag of Taiwan from the country settings of all their distributions (screenshot). They even commented the removing in the system files:

Mon Aug 5 2002 Than Ngo than@redhat.com 3.0.2-7.2
- add patch file to fix kicker segfault (bug #69688)
- get rid of Taiwanese Flag in KDE (bug #70235)

Hehe. A "bug" was that. Interesting. But people using computers sometimes take it very serious with configuring desktop and settings, even if there is no impact for the working of the computer, so soon there was big protest.
