From what I heard, 7-zip is pretty awesome about handling almost every kind of archive.
re: laptop backpacks, Lifehacker has a nice post with a number of links on the subject here, [link]

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Hmph. I can't figure out why my new laptop Eowyn can't see Rosie, but Rosie can see Eowyn. Everything was working so smoothly with my setup that I am miffed that there is the slightest bit of trouble.
Also, it has occurred to me only now that if I am using Frodo's network card for Eowyn to get online, then I can't transfer files from Frodo to Eowyn. I have to transfer them from Frodo to Rosie and then from Rosie to Eowyn. Harumph.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
SA, yep.

Okay, there. Now Eowyn & Rosie can both see each other. We'll have to see what happens with Estel gets home.

In fact, if you have Ubuntu installed you can just do "apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" and now you have Kubuntu.

Does anybody have one of those wireless weather stations, where you stick a (set of) sensor(s) outside and it monitors indoor and outdoor temperature, rainfall, etc? Any brand or model recommendations? I want something midrange, not where the house looks like a total freak lives in it, but where I can gather some useful information, from the new land, etc. But not, like, crazy expensive.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I think my mom was shopping for one recently. Suspect dad and stepmom likely have one as well. Emails shall be shot now, when come back hope to bring recs.
