Lynx is the good old text-only Web browser for use on terminals. Compile, make, and install Lynx with SSL support as follows:
$ curl -O http://lynx.isc.org/lynx2.8.7/lynx2.8.7.tar.bz2
$ tar xjvf lynx2.8.7.tar.bz2
$ cd lynx2-8-7
$ ./configure --with-ssl &#38;&#38; make
$ sudo make install
On Mac OS X, Lynx will then be installed at /usr/local/bin/lynx

		<description><![CDATA[Why is it that certain songs are very pleasant to the human ear? Is there a silver bullet to compose a hit wonder? I remember the first time I heard that famous guitar intermezzo in Mike Oldfield&#8217;s &#8220;Moon Light Shadow&#8221;; it was plain bliss. The human brain must have a fascination for certain patterns that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Dutch theoretical physicist Erik Verlinde will soon publish an article about his new interpretation of gravity. He conjectures that the gravitational force that we experience is the consequence of the amount of energy it costs to move information around: gravity is an entropic force.

In the science section of the Dutch newspaper Volkskrant of December [...]]]></description>

We share coffee machines, have the habit of shaking hands with strangers, and many people greet vague acquaintances with our famous three kisses [...]]]></description>

At the end of this year, it&#8217;s not the time to look back, but to look forward! I&#8217;d even like to fast-forward, to skip 2009, and hereby present my technology predictions for 2010.

		<description><![CDATA[Tournedos with mushrooms, baked patatoes and broccoli sounds pretty basic. However, I can be picky about my steak. As you probably know, a steak&#8217;s degree of cooking usually is rare, medium, or well-done. In France they serve an additional option called &#8220;blue&#8221; (or very rare): quickly flip over your steak twice; only for people who [...]]]></description>

The bad &#8220;signal&#8221; to &#8220;noise&#8221; ratio, i.e. rubbish versus useful postings, led to predictions of the imminent collapse of the net.
