IMO this is not funny -- think of "God" surrounded by "Shit" and think again how many people would be irritated.

Sure, the author is free to put any text in the explanatory image. But I'd say his arrogance is going too far...

This is really a good idea, a new way to consume rotten bookmarks.

> In my opinion, most Debian's issues stem from a centralized imperative package manager where all packages need to be carefully kept in sync for things to work.

+1 again for Transmission. For Linux and *nix in general, it's the best IMO. Sadly there's no official release for Windows.

For downloading automation, I use FlexGet (http://flexget.com/).
