@Rick Moen rick@linuxmafia.com Thanks for posting the original thread.
You're very welcome.
Since I posted that thread-opener, Vice.com/Motherboard have replaced the contents at their curated archive of csail-related conversations. The URL I gave still works, but now offers you a choice of PDF or plaintext, and in consequence IMO is now much more legible.
