Asus is still doing it wrong.

Despite stuck pixels, lack of Bluetooth, and a "void your warranty here" memory cover, I have not given up on the Asus Eee. I decided to poke around their downloadable "sources" .ZIP. I haven't even gotten into it yet. Inside the 1.7 GB zip file is another 1.7 GB zip file. Inside that is a third 1.7 GB zip file. Inside that are the sources in two folders: /dists and /pool. Inside those are .gz files of the actual source code.

Asus: You're doing it wrong. Three .zips and the actual sources, when extracted, total several gigabytes of annoyance.

Sounds almost as irritating as when people make ZIP files with no containing directory.

Yes, thanks... I just unpacked your source right OVER my home directory.
