I've used it at work with the acts_as_solr plugin for Rails. Simply define in your models which fields in the database you'd like solr to index and it just does it, allowing you to build a nice, robust search capability into your website with not a lot of work. And I'm sure I'm only using about 10% of what Solr actually provides. Look forward to checking out this book and seeing what other tricks it's got.
Linux already has one - it's called Firestarter and it's great. Integrates with the gnome desktop and let's you specifiy a per-process inbound and outbound access policy. It's in the main ubuntu repos last time I checked, but that was Hoary... Check out it here.
And tell me again why we're molly-coddling this people? Folks see enough of their favorite parts of the internet go dark due to having legacy browsers that can't properly render the pages and they WILL upgrade, just like people upgraded from analog to digital over-the-air television. Good news is you don't even need a fourty-dollar mail-in coupon to get a new web browser.
Electricity for those analog towers isn't cheap...
Yeah, it's funny actually but it's the recent economic hiccup we've had that has the station I work for comitted to turning off analog in February. It's gonna save us about 20,000 bucks a month just in electricty.
Okay, the Internet-face-stab machine is quickly becoming a meme around here. Is there a Wikipedia page in place yet? Because if not, there should be. I look forward to tracking the spread of this meme, especially if it should become a reality:)
Yeah, the government program-approved DTV boxes are super bare-bones and not really something worth hacking on. The most featureful one available at this time is made by Scientific Atlantic. I saw a very nice feature comparison of all the available coupon-redeemable boxes on AVSForum not too long ago. Might wanna have a look over there.
Secondly, don't count on your coupons actually working. That program's outta money and the last couple of folks I've seen try to redeem their coupons at stores were SOL.
I hadn't played it at all until about 3 weeks ago.
Built a new computer for the express purpose of playing games, having confined done my gaming to consoles previously (and that not since the Dreamcast), and the first thing I checked out was the Orange Box.
Loved me some Portal and Team Fortess 2. Tried out HL2 and felt like I was missing the story, so got the original Half Life from Steam (paid USD9.99 tho. Shoulda waited a week). Playing through it now.
People that can't use grep properly:
cat'ing a file and piping it to grep is completely unnecessary. Ditto grep'ing a file for a particular string then piping that to wc for a line count. Grep does both, and can save you a ton of typing.

These are the two most important books to have on your reference shelf. I've been doing sysadmin for years and still have yet to outgrow these two.
If you're working with Centos then I recommend Red Hat's Deployment Guide as a fantastic resource for learning how to set up and configure a server "the Red Hat way".
I've had really good luck with the Phillips (formerly Zenith) log periodic antenna. You can usually pick one up online for less than 20 dollars.
Link: http://www.amazon.com/Philips-PHDTV1-Silver-Digital-Antenna/dp/B0007XDI54
I'm in a wooded, hilly area about 15 air miles from the transmitter nest, but this antenna provided a huge boost in the number of stations I was able to pick up reliably.
Ultimately, though, the biggest factor in reception is the sensitivity of your receiver.
So, I realize this article is getting a little long in the tooth, but I did just want to echo the sentiments of everyone who suggested the local library. This really is a great resource. When paired with John Udell's Library Bookmarklet http://weblog.infoworld.com/udell/stories/2002/12/11/librarylookup.html and the Interlibrary Loan program I've saved a ton of money over the past couple of years and read a lot of great books.
So install Gaim Extended Prefs (you old fogey:-) )and turn that behavior off. One shouldn't have to endure an antagonistic relationship with one's IM client. Mine is just a happy little icon on the task bar that blinks when I have a message and has been for a while.

Sounds like someone's been watching my screencasts.
Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
The entire idea of privacy on the fucking Internet is moronic - that's not what it was designed for.

Yeah, I gotta say Win2k8 is easily the best version of Windows I've seen in eight years for a workstation.

"Chyron" and "well made interface" should never appear in the same sentence.

Had the article summary been slightly clearer than mud I may have been able to deduce what the hell Shozu was on my own.
