http://www.extremetech.com –
It's hard to pinpoint exactly when everyone and their mother got the urge for a home theater PC. It might very well have been when TiVo introduced TV recording and on-demand playback to a generation that is no longer impressed with the VCR, or maybe when Microsoft and OEMs started hawking PCs with Windows XP Media Center Edition to the mainstream.

Backups are essential, and so is the reducing the time needed to perform those backups. Many’s the time I have sat waiting for a backup to complete only to remember that I had a link to a large set of files, or a bunch of ISO files in the ./download directory, and had to migrate those over to somewhere else and restart the backup.

BulletProof-X: Windows Safe Mode Comes to Ubuntu
http://www.madpenguin.org –
I cannot tell you how many times I have found myself looking at that ugly and rather useless Xorg reconfigure screen that has never worked on Ubuntu for me. Generally, I would see something like this (not the exact image, but close) and then ask you to diagnose the problem from the x server output.
