Agreed, except for HTTP when used in a web browser. I don't know how many times I've had large downloads fail in a browser (terminate too early, etc) and have had to fall back to running curl / wget manually instead.

Comment Bug tracker was useful... (Score 1) 164

by natex84 (#47031873) Attached to: 30-Day Status Update On LibreSSL

Bob reports that the bug-tracking system abandoned by OpenSSL has actually been very useful to the OpenBSD developers

If LibreSSL is managed anything like the OpenBSD project itself, it won't have a public bug tracking system, which I find quite annoying... Don't get me wrong, I like OpenBSD and have used it since 2.9, I just don't understand why they don't have a publicly available bug tracking system.

Submission + - Valve Releases Steam For Linux Client, Celebrates With Week-Long Sale

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes: Valve on Thursday announced the release of its Steam for Linux client. You can download the client now for free from the Ubuntu Software Center. In typical Steam fashion, the company is celebrating the big day with a sale: over 50 Linux titles are now 50 percent to 75 percent off until 10:00AM PST on Wednesday, February 21. This means you have just under a week to take advantage, and should be plenty of time for Valve to set a new record in Steam for Linux downloads.
