There is however an entire market of users like me that publishers could get if they were charging less. Right now all my purchased books are used, the publisher and author get nothing for them and I buy them because they are 4-7 dollars (m

Well sure it could be bad if you are using 10 computers or you have 10 different servers to login to, but personally I have 2 computers that I use and only manage a few servers so it isn't all that bad, plus the config file is linked to dro

Slackware is a bit different now that you only need to download a DVD and then pretty much all the software you want is installed, and most of the time software that isn't installed has a slackbuild which is pretty easy to install with its

I think what you are asking for is a browser that also acts as a terminal. It would have to do both really well to fit into that niche, but I haven't looked too much into uzbl-browser but it may be able to perform such tasks through its ext

Valve did do this with cs 1.6, I don't know if it is still up or not, but they started off advertising the orange box and other things steam related (I believe they added the advertising spots to the maps after the fact however).

I've restored a couple times and done some tests, the transfer speed seemed a little slow but I don't know if it was on tarsnaps end or mine. The server that I've done and tested restores for is only about 1.5 gb of information/configs.

Not to take anything away from the problem but if your machine got so hot it melted because it was on that sounds more like a hardware problem.

Well apt has tools that help you install it through dpkg and manage it through apt, just not many use it. What I am wondering is how they solve the dependency problem, like say something depends on bash and you remove bash with rm do you ge
