Why is the PS3 OS so bad? First, when I load Netflix from the Channels page, it makes me download an 18MB update, and THEN tells me “This version is not needed; a newer one is already installed.” So then I load it directly from the TV/Video Services column, and it makes me download an update. (This time it is needed. Lul.)

The work’s possibilities excited them; the field’s complexities fired their imaginations. The caring suggested the tasks; the tasks suggested the schedules. They learned their fields and then loved them. They worked, respectfully, out of their love and knowledge, and they produced complex bodies of work that endure.

advice you’re unlikely to need
If you happen to want to install Firefox on Amazon Linux, say, so you can set up a continuous integration server that needs to run Selenium tests:
- Grab the binary package from Mozilla. Don’t try to be clever and use the one in the CentOS repositories; it segfaults.
- yum install dejavu-sans-fonts dejavu-serif-fonts, or you will get little boxes instead of letters when starting up.
