daflip··on Ubuntu - Getting physical
I find it's actually quicker and easier to move a window this way, compared to the regular "locate right hand corner, drag and release". Although the combo I use is a little easier than yours (I have resizes mapped to super key+left mouse button).

I was a solid windows user for many many years and now find myself getting frustrated using it when I have to hunt for the edge of a window. Maybe it's just me ...

daflip··on Ask HN: Suggestions for mastering vim?
I found this video useful - "Seven Habits of Effective Text Editing" by Bram Moolenaar (the author of VIM): http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2538831956647446078#

I often find that studying other people's vimrc's can be enlightening http://dotfiles.org/.vimrc

And as mentioned above, vimcasts.org is very useful too.

daflip··on Does an iPod Help You Concentrate? (And Other Questions About Attention)
I find it difficult to code without some sort of music playing in my ears, normally because it helps block out any distractions around me.

For the past few months I've been listening to SomaFM ( http://soma.fm/ ) almost non-stop. It's listener supported commercial free radio so there's no annoying ads to interrupt you, just a constant stream of the genre of your choice. Works for me anyway!

daflip··on Call to action: Deceptive marketing of Safari 4
Speaking of Safari, it really annoys me that the Apple software updater always wants to "update" my Safari install (even thou Safari is not installed.)

Am I the only one who finds this incredibly irritating?
