"download in secure PDF format"
(from the ebooks.com page linked from feynmanlectures.info/docroot/buy)
Is this some sort of DRM'ed format that's not readable on non-Adobe supported systems?
And, if it is, is there a way to buy a non-DRM version?

Re:Rob Pike: the origin of dotfiles

I am using a manually created /data partition as my personal space. Many dotfiles and 'dotdirectories' are distro+release specific. With having all my personal data in a separate partition makes switching distros (or using multiple ones) a breeze as I start with all my data intact and a virgin /home which I can populate with my dotfiles as I see fit.

I wish it stated whether it's a US-centric initiative or not. And, if it's not, I wish it registered the country of the subscriber.

To filter the overwhelming amount of readable content on HN, I personally use the http://news.ycombinator.com/over?points=120 function. In fact, since the amount of voters have increased a lot, I think I'm going to increase the point cap to 200.

Note that it depends on a proprietary shareware called Prince XML for PDF publishing.
It can publish HTML without it though.
