Would you repost the MP3. The file that I get from libsyn is only 3.5MB, and it cuts of very suddenly at 10 minutes.

What they never realized is 42 isn't the answer, it's the error code for 'Universe not found' Tongue
7th Son is a great audio... podiobook?

42 its the answer for which we have no question. Although Arthur Dent is probably fine with that because it means that the mice didnt actually get to carve his brain out if his skull.

i may just have to recite "Ode to a Small Lump of Green Putty I Found in My Armpit One Midsummer Morning" but i dont want anyone to die of internal hemorrhaging or to gnaw one of their own legs off. Wink

Glad to see I wasn't the only one with this problem! Thought maybe my iPod had barfed while playing the track.

"42" is the answer to the question, how many minutes would it take travelling to any point on earth using a gravity train.   However, this does not explain Douglas Adams' choice

Also, instead of complaining about your wife's 4 yr old (older?) mac not connecting with your Linksys, just buy her a modern Mac!  I love linux (since RH6, currently Ubuntu and FC) but I could never get reliable waking from sleep on a notebook (though a friend with a newer thinkpad does on Ubuntu).  I got a MacBook and love it - instant wake and all the unix underpinnings (ssh and rsync backup to the linux box works great).   It connects very stabily with my Linksys through many sleep cycles - reconnecting very quickly. 

Thanks for  the show!

Chess you got me addicted to 7th Son!  I just got caught up to Book 2 Chapter 17 (the latest episode).  Then I realized that I had 2 unhear LinuxRealitys, 2 unheard LinuxActionShows, and one unheard LottaLinuxLinks in the hopper.  What the heck is going on?  I used to get frustrated when I ran out of Linux Podcasts to listen to.  I'm all messed up.

Update, I created a support group.
