The EditHtml extension fixes that: https://freeshell.de/~kaosmos/edithtml-en.html

No, it doesn't: Californians passed a proposition that violated people's rights. The courts, playing their proper role in our system, said, "Nope, you can't do that." That's what happened; that's reality.

No, rights are manifestly NOT subject to a vote. That is why they are called rights.

Frontier has been reborn. Dave Winer's outline editor is now GPLed and runs in a browser: http://scripting.com/2013/09/16/concordOurGplOutliner

There's a forked version that can save to the local filesystem here: https://github.com/interstar/OWL

TextSecure is a fantastic, free replacement for the built-in SMS app on Android, even if you don't use any of its encryption features.

At the risk of sounding like a grouchy old fart: I still mourn the loss of the old Electronic Arts -- the company that Trip Hawkins founded in order to let the imagination of artists run wild through the nascent world of personal computing. I grew up immersed in EA classics like Skyfox and Archon and Adventure Construction Set and [pause to genuflect] M.U.L.E. The brilliant men and women who crafted these games were actually celebrated in the packaging. You got the sense that the game you bought was truly a creative labor of love. At the time, EA's slogan was "We see farther." Today's EA is by comparison unrecognizable, a giant that has grown too big to care about anything that the original EA cared about, a company whose slogan might as well be "We see the bottom line."

Tiny Tiny RSS attempts something like newsreader-style scoring: http://tt-rss.org/redmine/projects/tt-rss/wiki/Scoring

The geographic group listings on groups.drupal.org can be a great resource for finding local Drupal talent.

Can you point to anything in Adobe's history that would indicate it is a company that has any clue how to "fuel the growth" of a "free open source project"?

> It doesn't matter if the developer uses polite wording, I'm still insulted.

The drama you generate inside your own head is not the developer's responsibility.

Closing a bug as "NOTABUG" is not an insult. Closing a bug as "NOTABUG" means the developer does not think there is a bug. If you take it as an insult, then take responsibility for your own feelings. Don't blame the developer.

I get the black bar on the secure version too. :(

Alameda is the city next door to Oakland. Aside from being reported in the Oakland Tribune, what does this story have to do with Oakland?

With technology from the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation! (Share and enjoy!)

> I expect better researched articles from ZDNet.

I cannot think of a single good reason why you would.

If you don't mind installing an extension, "Personal Menu" will let you add the View menu and its children to the upper-left menu.

Lemmini (http://lemmini.de/) is a fantastic way to play Lemmings on modern hardware. (The data files you'll need are easily torrentable.)

for those who ain't seen it, an obligatory link to Fallows on "Living With a Computer" from July 1982: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1982/07/living-w... (what fun he was having!)

I was just thinking the same thing. I love Boxee, but it's difficult to see where there will be room for them in this space once Apple and Google have carved it up between themselves.

Here is a long, recent article about introversion that helped me (a definite introvert) feel more at peace with my tendencies:

Bottom line: 50% of us are introverts, but in American society it's the extraverts that define the norms.

"By way of comparison, on my home PC I used a third-party command shell called 4DOS [...] It had a wonderful command line history mechanism: type part of a command, then press up-arrow."

Want in bash? Add to ~/.inputrc:

# up and down arrows do incremental history search

"\e[A": history-search-backward

"\e[B": history-search-forward

Towards what?
