So Aaron downloading JSTOR files is very similar to a murder?

I would prefer it to be modelled after Kaiser(non-profit) and add no exclusions for preexisting conditions.

How Emacs changed my life by "matz"

On a similar note, few months ago I posted https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3827675 (Indian Man Single-Handedly Plants a 1,360 Acre Forest)

2011?

At least for 2nd problem mentioned wouldn't

make sense?

>> And secrecy is a patent that potentially never expires.

Do you seriously believe, no one else can come up same/similar functionality/product? I would like a system where they keep the patent secret(nothing is published) for 5 years, and if in 5 years no one comes up with same/similar idea, patent is granted for next 10 years (rather than current 20 years from filing), otherwise patent is not granted. My guess is 99% of software patents will go away.

"No copy line command in Emacs" Did you try "Alt/Meta-w" ?

Easier said than done. You know it is more complicated than that. India is a namesake democracy, same families get elected all the time. With about 30% illiteracy rate, people don't even know they have a choice, thousands of years of oppression of majority of the population, ... so on.

I keep reading, there is no tablet market except for ipad. Why is that not considered monopoly?

If don't want/unable to get, Tangled Web, similar useful information by same author at "Browser Security Handbook" http://code.google.com/p/browsersec/wiki/Main

From: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CScopeAndEmacs

ascope is an improvement over xcscope that runs all queries through a single cscope process, instead of starting a new process and reloading the database for each query. It was made by Staton Sun as a merge between xscope and another single-process interface, bscope

I agree. For static callgraphs I use doxygen, for dynamic I use "m-x gdb" :-)

"cscope + ascope" is the best thing ever I found for groking the code(in emacs). It is great for getting your way around huge code base. I find myself using "ascope-find-this-symbol" all the time, which gives me all occurrences/usages of that symbol.

True, I upvoted that and wanted wider exposure for this article. So I thought resubmission at different time would work, but apparently not.

For me the best Git guide is John Wiegley's "Git from the bottom up" @ http://newartisans.com/2008/04/git-from-the-bottom-up/

- ido mode with ido-enable-flex-matching set. - recentf-mode integrated with ido. Too many to list.

Exactly, Steve wouldn't be back at Apple if he(Next) didn't sell out. No Apple A4/A5 if PASemi didn't sell out. No Siri either if Siri didn't sell out.

How many people support(ed) the freedom of artists to draw Allah? It is just non-sense that you'll be offended by someone unless you allow yourself to be offended. You don't like the comment, you ignore.

>> they are designers who considered the programming

I got the impression that they are bankers from the post, where do they say they are designers?

Firefox moved to new release cycle. The current nightly build of Firefox is Firefox 8 @ http://nightly.mozilla.org/

Your tutorial works for some one already familiar with programming but not with Python. It may work for the originator of that thread.

But LPTHW is more along the lines of Joe's advice: >> Then buy a decent book and type in the programs by hand. >> One at a time thinking as you go.

LPTHW does exactly that. Actually typing the programs has magic to it.

That's the approach Zed's LPTHW (http://learnpythonthehardway.org/) takes.
