airbomb bike: hot deal? comments from owners? sizing?

My wife has a 14" Kona Hahana mountain bike and really likes the size (she's also 5'2") The kona bikes have an agressive top tube angle which gives quite a bit of cleanance for the short riders.

Starting to think twice about Linux

I fiddled around with php/mysql some years ago for a personal project and last year I was involved in a project which required MS stuff (ASP etc.) My previous experience was quite a boost to the project. It wasn't so much the programming language but the concepts that I'd learned. It really...

FreeBSD/Unix Command to edit tar'd file?

No, but if vim actually can edit it without decompressing it you can save yourself some time. I dont use vim though, I installed it only to try to do this. I use vi What's the difference between vim and vi? :P

FreeBSD/Unix Command to edit tar'd file?

It's not much hassle really to just uncompress it and recompress it... %gunzip filename.txt.gz edit with your favorite editor (e.g. %vim filename.txt) then recompress it %gzip filename.txt
