If you haven't heard of it, there's another cool tracker making great strides right now, Furnace:

https://github.com/tildearrow/furnace

Allows you to compose tunes on several chips / platforms in the one song.

From the "What is PGP?" section:

> If you want exchange encrypted e-mails with someone, you should first share your private key with them.

Should probably fix that.

Need to add to the Amiga love anecdotes.

- My first Amiga was an A500, eventually ended up with a chip RAM upgrade, an A520 20MB hard disk and some extra Fast RAM.

- I owned several Amigas in the early 90s, but I actually cried when I sold my A1200 to buy a 486 DX2 66! Why you may ask? Doom. It changed everything.

It's probably not rated as one of their best, but I've always loved "fr025 - The Popular Demo".

Beautifully done, search it on Youtube.

Exactly what I did.

I mean, damn people who use a free thing that then get screwed, through no fault of their own, not wanting to be charged $25 for a part of the service that they would never need to use otherwise.

You're either free, or you're not -- StartSSL is a mish-mash of "free" and opportunistic costs.

Thanks for this, I just updated the Arch AUR build to include them.

FYI - the man pages still say version 1.3.0 :)

Not my experience at all.

To quote them:

"Class 1 certificates aren't revoked free because we receive too many requests daily (specially for the Class 1 free certs) and would we have revoked them all, our certificate revocation list (CRL) would have been blown out of every proportion."

In a further back-and-forth, the admin proceeded to tell me how much bandwidth I would cause them (I don't even care about being added to a CRL for a personal domain).

Edit: Sorry, you did say a wildcard cert, which sounds like a paid cert, so would offer more "service" I'm guessing.

As an individual, can I just say -- don't ever mess up, lose your key or need to regenerate your certificate before the expiry date.

Live within their means, or it will cost you $25 (because of "revocation costs").

StartCom are pretty awesome, but be aware of potential pitfalls.

Steam on Arch Linux here, old Core 2 Duo 3 GHz, but I added a nVidia GTX550Ti (2GB) card a few months ago and HL2 is running amazingly.

Playing it on a 46" TV at 1080p. Smooth as hell and looks fantastic.

* Most of your life is not fun

* The good times are real easy to remember

* Your loved ones don't want every piece of your daily minutiae, really, they don't

* Pointless debates are some of the most hilarious conversations you can have

* Technology will get better

* You never forget the best times, the rest is unimportant

Don't agree with those either, but when given the choice to object, I'll object.

Just like I will when some stranger is pointing a mobile phone at me.

Just because it's Glass, assuming I even notice it, I won't clam up and simply think "oh well, because it's ubiquitous and cool, I'll ignore it".

If you can't see the difference between someone holding a largish device (say, a phone), point it at you and record a video (hence, obviously snooping) versus same said person closing their eyes, pretending they're sleeping, having their head tilted in your direction and recording a video...

Then yeah, I guess you're the kind of creep this product might appeal to.

Disclaimer: I haven't seen the movie yet, in any format.

But I did see the clip of the Bilbo and Gollum scene played on Colbert the other week. Martin Freeman (who I've loved in other stuff, like Sherlock) was fucking terrible.

If the calibre of delivery is like that, I'm expecting unexpected rubbish. Even one of the scenes from McKellen Colbert played was pretty shit. Maybe I'm expecting too much from what is meant to be a kids book.

My point is, forget FPS -- if the acting is shit, nothing will help.

So how do we curb this voracious appetite of needing to get into every bit (data, apps, ads, other value adds) of being a telco?

I agree with what you're saying, but how do we get to a state where we can have "dumb pipes", yet have an open, privacy driven and easily user controllable OS on a device?

Is there an alternative to always needing to "add value"? Isn't earning our coin off carrier charges, data etc enough?

Yep - make your box do what you want.

Nothing stops you from changing fstab to make any mount tmpfs or disk.
