Using Freenet
I've been following the Freenet project for many years, occasionally firing it up and seeing if I can do anything useful with it.

The Beauty of LaTeX (2011)
There are several reasons why one should prefer L A T E X to a WYSIWYG word processor like Microsoft Word: portability, lightness, security are just a few of them (not to mention that L A T E X is free ).
