I *might* have one. I'll have to look to see if I still have it or if I recycled it last purge.

Dammit. As a flash refusenick for years I've gotten used to the quietness of the modern flash-free web. Now I have to investigate ad-block technology again.

That's DD-WRT. OpenWRT is a fork (I forget which came first).
Different projects.

Yeah, Ted Unangst (OpenBSD) looked into it.

Basically: someone took advantage of the OpenSSL Malloc allowing use-after-free. What is this, SimCity for Windows?

And actually, F-Droid *works* for that scenario. You can run your own repo, so you can back up your .APKs to that.

All the other comments really just sort of become unnecessary when you consider the capability of F-Droid.
You can run your own repos with it, it's not just a gateway to the website.

It's not an "appstore" unless by "store" you mean "repository" instead of "shop" - F-Droid is more accurately a repository client, that ships with the F-Droid FLOSS Repository pre-configured.
You can run your OWN repository; some people use this to back up purchased .APKs, as F-Droid supports versioning.

The media never gets it right. The only rifle that uses a "clip" is the M1 Garand. Count the times people say "clip". The AR-15 isn't an assault rifle, it's semi-auto.

Sony attempted to do this with their Playstation 2 (and the Playstation 3) in order to work around taxes, not because they actually wanted it general purpose.

Short line, less than 15 minutes and only one dude holding a sign outside my polling place. Voted around 20:00, I guess.
Was able to laugh and happily ignore the last 5 days of attack ads, mailings, people begging on social media to vote one way or the other...it was nice. Very nice. I'd do it again.

Wavpack (.wv) is fully supported on the Fuze (with Rockbox obviously), I figure I would also be useful on the Clip. It's a royalty-free lossless compression format, and beats the shit out of .WAV

Attached to: Humble Indie Bundle V Released
Things that worked for me, on either Ubuntu 10.10 or Debian 6.0.5. I have an R300 card, and use the free drivers.
Worked: World of Goo, Lugaru HD, Aquaria (both builds), Osmos (music stutters), Revenge of the Titans, Cortex Command, Frozen Synapse, VVVVVV, Steel Storm, Dungeons of Dredmor (after much patching!), Gish (both builds), Penumbra: Overture, Machinarium (wrapped Flash), SpaceChem (.NET), Trauma (wrapped Flash), Hammerfight (really shitty with a trackball; had to use bluetooth mouse), Night Sky, And Yet It Moves, Frozen Synapse, Defcon, Jamestown, Voxatron, Atom Zombie Smasher (.NET), Binding of Isaac (wrapped Flash), Blocks That Matter, Chocolate Castle, Zen Puzzle Gardens, Jasper's Journeys.
Didn't work well: Braid, Darwinia, Crayon Physics Deluxe (bad fonts on Ubuntu, didn't try Debian)
Never tried: Uplink, Multiwinia
Never could run: Samorost 2, Trine, Shadowgrounds, Shadowgrounds Survivor, Jack Claw, Crayon Physics Deluxe, Cogs, CaveStory+, Shank, Super Meat Boy (buggy as sin)
I guess I got my money's worth?

And Samarost & Machinarium were wrapped flash. I have never actually played Samarost.

None of those bundles even care about Linux support.
HIB at least does, even if sometimes it's WINE bottles or Adobe AIR. (And they are getting a considerable amount of flak for that too, because that shit is not acceptable.)
