Besides what people have already suggested, you can take Caltrain to downtown Mountain View and take a taxi to the party. (Usually there are taxis on the station) It's a 7 minute ride, so you'd probably pay around 7-12 bucks. The train ride

You know, I hate elitist and pretentious people as much as the next person, and I do believe in trying our best to help others. But in this particular case it's not difficult to google for "install debian with pxe". The second result on goo

Emacs probably doesn't have the best support out-of-the-box to navigate a project, but it can be done with speedbar and ECB [4]. Alternative ways to get around source code include using dired, the directory editor, the various grep commands

It just convert the chunks to an image (the final format is a PDF as well). The result is a little bit hacky, but it works. If your goal is to catch up with your reading pile, so it may work for you. On the other hand, if you need/want to g
