Holy crap.
Holy crap.
HOLY FUCKING CRAP.

http://www.wikibooks.org

Go there.

NOW.

RIGHT NOW.

Free books. Open-content books. Anyone can read, download, edit, write, etc.

So...freakin'...awesome...*twitch*

In other news, I'm putting some Kaizers Orchestra up on the webserver. Interesting band, and I can't really classify them any more than I can E.S. Posthumus. They remind me of Blur's quirky days when they'd have odd beats that were discordant, yet strangely compelling. Definitely worth a listen at the very least.

Winslows

Can someone explain to me why a simple low-end graphics package takes 10 minutes to install on LoseXP?

Seriously. This shit's pre-compiled. There are no computations or function calls or architecture parameters or anything involved. It's just copying files from a CD. On a 52x drive, no less.

Oh, right, it's a Dell PC running Windows XP. I guess I should be thankful it didn't take an hour.

*grumbles, goes back to using installpkg*
