What the heck is that? A pig looking at the golden gate bridge? What does it mean?
I wonder how many people were still using the CD sized image. I'm guessing not very many, and with the size constraints, Canonical were probably itching to get rid of it.
Back when I did some small scale sysadmin work, I found that our CD/DVD burners were a lot more reliable as CD burners than as DVD burners. This seemed to be true both of the older Dell ones we had and the newer generic-brand ones. I had much better luck using CDs for basic installs and then fetching additional stuff from the net than trying to use DVDs.
- I also remember the CD burners to be more reliably, but that is my memory from maybe 5 years ago, I almost always use USB sticks these days.
- For local deployments (or even repeated installs due to tinkering-reasons), the best thing to have is a local http/ftp proxy (apt-get install squid).

I would rather not have to resort to that sort of stuff here on HN.

This is the best comment I have seen today. Thanks for making me smile :)

You have a funny take on it, but it's actually a guy flipping over a table.
I always thought it was a person who crashed their skateboard into a wall!
