“Boston was one of 10 cities around the nation where the guerilla ads appeared, but nowhere else did they cause security concerns and set a city on edge.” – really don’t get what happened here, how the city overreacted so badly

buy the Boston Mooninites; if you’ve never seen it, BTW, one of the Mooninites sounds just like Will Ferrell – so much so that i had to look it up (it’s not him)
-
a lot of obvious turn-off-unneeded-applications type advice, but some interesting metrics on the respective memory footprints for GNOME, KDE, and XFCE – i may yet run Xubuntu on my old Dell

“Amazon does need to get better about communicating with their customers. They need to have a page which shows the health of their systems, and pro-active notification of major issues, a 24/7 contact method, etc.” – all services need this
