also, how does this compare to Mediatomb or Fuppes?

@goodywitch: + 1 for this. It looks a lot like this app, and for the same great price (free)

Wow, I'll be shocked if that pricing sticks. Still, it might not be a bad strategy to float an inflated price early, then revising it lower later so that it doesn't appear quite as bad. Personally, upgrades from previous versions (I'd say XP and Vista both qualify) have to start at $99 in order to get any traction.

@bachya: +1 for slicehost

it looks like enabling experimental searches no longer removes the wiki features...

@MarthaHorn: Agreed, there was an important category of not-typo, not-regular, occasional contributor of substance. "Other" isn't satisfying enough.

It needs flickr and google apps support for it to be useful enough to me.

i think the tag should be "how-to", not "how, to,"

@Coyote: thanks for the link, but unfortunately the JotSpot PM (product manager?) has stated that "we are not going to be able to migrate Family Site."

I, personally, will not miss Lively.

Nice to have a zero install option to Gobby or Moon Edit.

hmmm, wish I had 15 mins to edit my comment... I actually do have my RAW files backed up to a 2nd drive, and try to keep an offsite backup of those as well, just not in the cloud.

I take issue with the premise of Perlow's link-baity article. The Flickr sky is not falling; it's one of the jewels in the Yahoo portfolio. There have to be well capitalized companies that would swoop in to pluck it up.

strern -> stern

@ShyamaLabdacus: GeeXBox does sound eerily close to what I'm looking for... I'll have to give it a spin, thanks (and thanks to the other votes of confidence that followed).

Why isn't there a lightweight distro dedicated to playing a DVD? (or is there?)

I used GreatNews for a while before switching to Google Reader, and liked it very much then. Sync with Bloglines was a killer feature, and Jack, the developer, was looking into adding support for syncing with Google Reader, but in never happened AFAIK. Development seems to have stopped, as the last major update was…

Just to be clear, they pulled out because of the antitrust concerns of the Justice Department.

Shrinking the image softens the details, so it's often a good idea to sharpen after shrinking.
