"When I first envisioned RadicalCodex… it was only for Linux.
Having the best eBook and eComic reader only for Linux… well I just like the sound of that.
Once the Beta testing started I began receiving emails, from Linux users, asking if a Windows version was in the works. This surprised me at first, but it made some sense. Most people can’t run 100% Linux on every computer they use. And, of course, it’s nice to be able to bring your favorite applications with you between computers.
Plus having great software available for both Windows and Linux helps to lower the barrier for many people switching platforms."
and this is what I posted to him in response:
"Once the Beta testing started I began receiving emails, from Linux users, asking if a Windows version was in the works. "
LOL you have to be kidding me, what about the Linux users that asked you to put it under a Free Software license?
You are a bigger tool than I thought you were. What happened to showing the non-free companies that the "the Linux water was fine, jump on in"? What happened to your crusade? Are you going to admit that you went into this on a lie? Are you at least gonna give us the source code? Come on Benedict Arnold.
I don't think I need to say more about that, but this may (99.9999% sure) that this will be on ep 2009.7 of Linuxcranks. Listen Live Sat/Sunday at Midnight Eastern (http://live.linuxcranks.info [you will need a talkshoe.com account to listen as we are an 18+ podcast])

Printing in Crunchbang
I just got me a new HP DeskJet 6940 for my birthday. Its networked so I just stuck it on my network and started configuring boxen. My girlfriend's Vista laptop was bloody simple to set up (weird yeah I know). Then I got started on my computers (my desktop and my eee) which was where the problem started. Now mind you I had been drinking (me and the captain made it happen [mom bought the booze]). On said desktop and eee I am running CrunchBang Linux and cruncheee respectively (this will be important later).
On CrunchBang
If you right click and go to "Printer Configuration" it opens and a whole bunch of it is greyed out (wtf) but there is a fix:
step 1: sudo su
this will make you proper root, this is just to save time sudo-ing over and over again is a pain in the ass
step 2: cd into /etc/cups/ssl/
step 2.5: if you ls you will see server.crt and server.key, believe it or not just rm both of them
step 3: then run sudo /etc/init.d/cups start (i think you might not need this dont remember)
step 4: open "Printer Configuration" again and
step 5: POW that MF is working so set your stuff up
on CrunchEEE
This is not a problem some how it works in crunchbang for the eee [facepalm] wtf
thanks to the lovely gents in irc.freenode.net #linuxcranks for the help specificity Mole_

My Free Software Resolution
*The Resolution*
/I, threethirty, do resolve to use free software more in 2009 than in
any year before and if possible, to implement new systems, features, and
capabilities with 100% free software./
That means if you're looking for a new web browser, you'll consider Firefox.
If you need to open one of those weird .docx Word Documents, you're going to
use Open Office. And finally, you're going to try GNU/Linux. There are so
many ways to try it that one of these has got to be for you.
*Start 2009 out right*
1. Order a free Ubuntu Live CD from http://shipit.ubuntu.com [1] and boot up
your computer with it. Voila! You're trying GNU/Linux.
2. Ask your nearest techie to download and burn Ubuntu or Fedora to a CD for
you. Pop it in your CD drive and reboot. Some would call that trying
GNU/Linux.
3. Ask your nearest techie to install GNU/Linux for you and see the world of
computers with fresh eyes as you try GNU/Linux.
4. Download the source code to Azureus, configure and build the package, then
use it to download Arch, CrunchBang, or SlackWare and run that baby in a
virtual machine using VirtualBox OSE.
5. Finally, if you need help with any of the above submit a support request
at http://trygnulinux.com/getsupport.php [2] and we'll do our best to help
you with the next step.
With this New Year's resolution, 2009 can be a spectacular year for free
software so try to stick with it. Next New Year, we're hoping to find a
fitter, healthier, more-free-software-using you. Happy New Year from everyone
at TryGNULinux.com.

12 Steps to a GNU life
12 Steps to a GNU Life v0.1
1. We admitted we were powerless over Propreitary Software - that our lives had become unmanageable.
2. Came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.
3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of the GNU as we understood Him.
4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.
5. Admitted to the GNU, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.
6. Were entirely ready to have the GNU remove all these defects of character.
7. Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.
8. Made a list of all users we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.
9. Made direct amends to such users wherever possible, except when to do so would enslave them or others.
10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.
11. Sought through code and meditation to improve our conscious contact with the GNU as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to users and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
