...as few others as possible. 1-2-3-4-5-6 is, in fact, the worst possible choice...
That's why I always play 6-5-4-3-2-1, instead.

Running xbmc (openelec) on a total of 31, so far. I use 7 here at home, and the rest I've acquired for friends and relatives. I've totally cut the cable, I have moderately high-speed internet and I get a 10 or so tv channels ota. Basically, $70/mo for internet, and all my television (including all live sports (I *do* pay $150/yr for nhl gamecenter, archived games, etc)), music, movies, looked after. Most of the others who have acquired the pis from me have cut the cable, too...

Ah yes, but then will need an archive to archive all the archives that are not archived in the archive. Are you starting to see the problem?
That should work, as long as there is a standard.

I'm in a similar situation as the submitter, but I mostly just tell people how to lie to their wives (partners, etc)
I often get emails from Princes, Damsels-in-distress, penis pill pushers, and a plethora of other fake and scammy looking stuff.
I'm pretty sure it's my wife, because she can't spell worth a shit.
Is the submitter *spoken-for* ? It could just be the partner, messin' with him. I believe I can be of help.

How To Turn Your Pile of Code Into an Open Source Project 176
Esther Schindler writes "You've written some code, you think it would be useful to the world, and you'd like to give back to the open source world. But how do you do it? Andy Lester provides a checksheet for developers for how to release an open source project and get it noticed. For instance: Before you release the project to the wild, write some documentation, create a mailing list, create an issue tracker, and so on. 'Users require releases of your software. It’s a disservice to your users to point at the Git repo and say “Just pull from the master branch and install it.” Users don’t want to have to use version control just to get a release of the code. Create a proper tarball (.tar.gz) that is easily downloadable by anyone. Announce each release. Your announcements should not assume that the reader is familiar with your project.' You think he's missing anything?"
