You dont stick things that are custom to that machine in /srv, thats not what the article you linked to says. Its for serving using various services, so you would have /srv/http /srv/ftp and so on, you dont put packages/programs into /srv

"and a GUI is used to provide easy access to the application" How do you think the GUI finds the application? There is a PATH. Open up a cmd and type the name of any installed program. 1) Programs put themselves in various directories on m

Alot of graphing/plot libraries use the new canvas element, I think even jqplot does it that way these days. WIth Canvas and WebGL I wonder why we dont see more coolness.

Good read. What is your opinion, or how do you perceive open source software which comes at a price? ie office suite or game where the source is open but the producer requires monetary fee for it or support services for it?

Interesting fallacy. However, you seldom hear anyone criticize work today, all the theories and economieswant people to work more. Why not work less? Why not work at all? How come that all the effeciency and growth still make people work? I
