Because you will reach their friends too? This is what I take from the article.

You might have something to gain by switching to Emacs. AFAIK of the 9 elements of your list at least 6 can be easily done inside emacs. I leave out web browsing (it can be done but yeah, leaves a lot to be desired imho), Android development (ADT is really really good) and maybe "document ordering", which, depending on what it exactly is, might be done with org-mode.

Yeah it's giving me 404 now...

When you select (copy) the URL it silently adds 'http:// to it. You will see only when you paste it. I'm not sure I really like the concept of silently putting stuff in my selection buffer. I'm going to disable this.

The point of this article is precisely that they know/have MORE than what you explicitly give them.

I see. I didn't know Windows didn't get that feature. I guess we still need pdfcreator and friends then!

Am I missing something? It's there in Firefox, at least on Linux - can't speak for Windows though.

Can I ask what problem your app solves? Why would I want to add my location to an sms? Good job anyway, sounds interesting.

Another alternative that, AFAICS, doesn't use anything external to emacs

    ;;; Full-screen mode
   (defun toggle-max-window ()
      (interactive)
      (set-frame-parameter nil 'fullscreen
                       (if (frame-parameter nil 'fullscreen)
                           nil
                         'fullboth)))
   (global-set-key (kbd "<C-M-return>") 'toggle-max-window)

Still, there might be considerable interest in at least some tutorial blog posts ;-) Consider this a subtle request :-) I've been toying with this idea for a while, but haven't really started looking into it seriously, mainly because, as you said, at least at a cursory glance there are not a lot of in-depth and accurate resources for setting up a mail server with security in mind.

I began working 2 years ago, landed a job where I almost only write C code (a huge codebase for scientific/high performance computing).

Mmh yeah, I should have specified that I specifically set ff up to not restore tabs on startup!

I do - kind of. Since I don't have Firefox set to reopen the last batch of tabs I had opened the last time I was using it, Panorama is kind of useless in my case, since I would mainly use it to keep tabs grouped by content, and it would be a chore to redo the grouping at each restart. Still, it comes in handy to keep reddit/hn on one group and work related stuff on another groups and quickly switch between the two by doing Ctrl - Shift - ~. A big optimization was to set browser.panorama.animate_zoom to false in about:config. That animation was killing the flow in my case.

Mmh, I noticed it works with my Skype client, on Fedora, while it doesn't work wth my buddy's client, on Windows.

Yeah, this is ok, but how does this iPhone behave differently than the usual here? Do the other phones (when acting as hotspot) keep broadcasting the WiFi signal when receiving data over the cellular network?

Could someone please explain how this hotspot feature usually works for smartphones? I'm having a discussion with a friend about this, but we're going nowhere since I don't own a smartphone and thus I'm not really sure what's the default here and how this iPhone does things differently.

[edit] what I expect is this: if I'm connected to a wifi hotspot to browse the Internet and I receive a telephone call, I should not drop the connection to the hotspot (am I wrong in understanding that this is NOT what this iPhone does?).

But emacs and vim don't.

My work pc is powered by Fedora (my boss is a huge fan). It is not what I would choose for my laptop/home desktop (I love to tinker and I find myself perfectly at home with Arch right now), but it's a pleasure to have this distro in a pc where you need the utmost stability and the distro choice must be as transparent as possible.

Not really, Arch's default python right now is python3.

Well, there's another reason for me to keep alive the interest in meditation!

Wow, this is weird. Yesterday, on my work - home commute, I was thinking exactly this. I realized that the massive usage of Internet has led me to have more difficulties in concentrating and studying, and in general keeping focus on a given task, while at the same time has given me an edge over less intensive web users I know when it comes to extrapolate a more or less superficial meaning from a resource like an article such as this, or a discussion, or even a picture. I wonder if these two aspects could somehow 'live together', that is, have the brain 'switch' to a certain mode when doing a certain task.

edit: and I'm kinda worried about this.

I'm guilty of using tmp quite a lot. On my defense though, it's usually just that, temporary: I end up refactoring it down the road (most of the times)!

If by reverse you mean going forward instead of backwards, that should be done with Ctrl-S; it does not work in Bash though, since Ctrl-S locks the scrolling of the terminal. I believe this behavior can be overridden, through some .xinputrc settings perhaps, but I haven't still found enough motivation to look it up!

edit: ok, I've found this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bash#History_search

Does anybody know if there is an Etherpad-like service that allows to draw charts/tables/`free style' stuff? I was thinking that that might be useful during brainstorming sessions to help crystallize ideas...

IIRC, PayPal takes a commission on the transaction, around 30 cents if I am not mistaken. I think this means that the developers actually lost money in your case. Correct me if I'm wrong!

I think it's Spanish.

Ok, I tried to upvote you once, it didn't stick on (a quick) reload but the arrow didn't go away. I tried to upvote and wait some 5, 10 seconds and it didn't stick and the arrow is gone!

Well, it is the same for me too. I noticed this behavior one or two days ago, but I dismissed it thinking that maybe someone downvoted the user I just upvoted more or less at the same time.
