Gmail is not in that list, because they have IMAP access (http://www.dataliberation.org/google/gmail).

You can just setup your account in for example OSX Mail, after synchronizing your messages will be in ~/Library/Mail (albeit not in a really nice folder structure like pure mbox or maildir, but you should be able to convert them without much hassle). Or you could use offlineimap (http://www.offlineimap.org), which gives you an IMAP dump/backup of your messages (in maildir format if I'm not mistaken). That said, the possibilities of getting your mail from IMAP are almost endless, just choose whatever suits you.

Btw, keeping 20000 mails just about anywhere might be convenient, but I really wonder what for (to clarify, I have maybe 300 mails right now on my own server and I regularly dump old stuff, while dumping for example registration mails right away due to security reasons)?

From the article: ...you can leave the password blank (if you secure your laptop with encryption, a locking screensaver, and a strong password, your SSH key doesn’t require a password)..., but what if that is still not enough security for you or your policy prohibits you from using key pairs for authentication, or maybe you are not using a server that often and just don't want to set up key pairs.

Enter the ControlMaster mechanism (see man ssh_config):

  Host *
  ControlMaster auto
  ControlPersist yes
  ControlPath /tmp/ssh-%r@%h:%p
  ServerAliveInterval 600

So now you type in your password for your first session only, and every other session will be slaved to it (this includes directory/file auto completion over ssh in zsh and other nice nibbles like it does with public/private key pairs).

At my university everybody can just walk into the library during normal hours. After that, you need a (photo id) library card (which you can get right there in the library for 10 euros). This card not only allows you 24 hour access to the building itself, but to also loan books, get access to journals and newspapers, etc... I certainly can't speak for every university library here in germany, but I have so far seen quite a few (visiting friends all over germany), where this is common practice (I do not know about getting a library card there, though).

Hate to spoil your excitement, but 'discounted'??? It merely states that certain percentages (half/quarter of all available tickets) will be sold at certain dates. Maybe the title should be corrected to reflect that...

I would very much like to know this, too. As much as I see the value of being able to ask wolfram alpha stuff, my first thought when I saw the Siri presentation was, if "Turn Airplane/Silent Mode (Wifi,3G,...) on/off!" works. That would add a lot of value to it, as that would make the phone really "hands free". Furthermore I would not have to remember the insane amount of dialogs one sometimes has to go through, just to reach a certain setting (which is probably why there are so many apps that do nothing but turn features/settings on and off).

Hmm, I am from Germany, too. I don't have a Kindle, but I use the Android and other Kindle Apps and I have purchased several books and even a magazine subscription using my german credit card (and never gave them an additional address in the states). Also, I can sign into Amazon.com using my german Amazon account, I don't remember when they changed this, but at some point it just worked. I am not going to move to the German Amazon Kindle Store, as for example that magazine subscription is not available in the German Kindle store. To me, that is the real problem at hand (besides the fact that they shouldn't expect you to pay the same amount of money for a digitally distributed version as you would have to pay for the dead tree version, but that's a totally different issue, which has already been discussed a lot).

if you know anybody, who already has google+, point him to this: http://eu.techcrunch.com/2011/06/30/how-to-hack-google-to-se... the last described method works just fine.

or in short: add people you want to invite to a circle, klick the share "button" on the upper right hand, share to cirlce, make sure to check "Also email XX people not yet using Google+"

Thanks for the reminder, I totally forgot I have his book Infinite Intensity lying around, been wanting to look into that for quite some time now.

just in case somebody is searching for it on youtu.be, it is scooby1961.

i discovered scooby through a friend of mine a long time ago and his tips really helped getting me started with weight lifting. i have lost all my back problems since then. just remember, as long as an exercise feels good, it is unlikely to hurt you. i had to learn this the hard way, i pushed too hard on an exercise, ignored the pain and was left with a typewriters cramp, not so great if you are in front of a computer typing all day long. so start small and build your way up.

any chance of integrating the search box into the top bar? i use some auto pagerize plugins that sort of get in the way. i know i could just turn it off, but that would brake its purpose. also, i suppose this would help with general visibility of the search box, as most sites have theirs on top of their pages!

but it's definitely great to see search build into the site! will make finding stuff on hn a lot more convenient.

i just love the fact that with all the really expensive (so i believe) hardware and software he used, this really stood out to me:

"GIMP: final assembly, curve & saturation tweaks" (from his website skysurvey.org)
