Seconded. I love playing a 44x22 grid of Range. Pearl is one of my favorites, but generation of solvable puzzles beyond a certain size takes a very long time, and they usually end up sharing a single common pattern. I've had games of Pearl take a day and a half to generate, and I've solved it in 10 minutes. Loopy (16x10, Kites, Hard) is my next favorite, but the yellow lines on grey background is difficult to focus on. I've tried tweaking the source and haven't found a colour that works well for me on that level.

I'm happy with my life now, I have a good career and a family that I love, but I still think that dropping out was the biggest mistake I ever made. If I had the money, I'd go back, but it wouldn't be the same experience now.

And thus is born the sport "Galactocaching".

We all know it anyways. Is it really that much work to type it out by hand? You could always just bookmark it and never have to worry about it again.

I'm not sure why you'd want the CERN-branded SL, as it's configured specifically for their network (their AFS, Kerberos, printers, etc). I used it because I wasn't aware of the more generic version:
