Just a brief note, to let you all know why there's a lack of new posts.
Once again, I managed to kill my laptop. The machine died suddenly, with no warning. I'm currently waiting for a replacement, and once I get it, I'll need some time to set everything up to my liking. I also had three posts in progress on the machine; I'm not sure whether they were backed up or not, and won't be able to find out until I get a new machine.
Things will be back to normal as soon as possible, but don't expect much for the next couple of days.

Important Notice: I am not interested in what Cory Doctorow has termed "helpiness" (in analogy with Stephen Colbert's "truthiness") namely comments that have the general syntactical form of useful advice, without the content of useful advice. I don't want to hear about how I really should've bought…
Yep. It's it a wonderful feeling (not!) when we're grown to depend on something that drops the ball unexpectedly. For years I had no hardware problems, then a couple of years ago I completely lost my C: drive two times in a row. After the first time I figured I had probability on my side, so I didn't backup ...
Paul.
What, you mean Google doesn't have spare laptops at the ready?
Well, trust me, it's way better than having the computer seized by the police...
