For Mercurial, there's this "extension": http://mercurial.selenic.com/wiki/RecordExtension "Extension" in quotes, because it comes with the Hg installation -- it's just one of those advanc

I started with Feedly then switched to Ino. One interesting (paid) feature of Ino is essentially a "killfile" -- just like in the good old Usenet days -- for RSS feeds. E.g. say you want to read the newest Penny Arcade comic, but

Hover Zoom had a similar problem recently, but still exists on the Chrome store. Up until a certain version, their data collection did nothing much (perhaps save non-existing domain hits). Then they partnered with someone and started sendin

How did you resolve your WiFi issues? Quite often I've found the laptop unable to connect to random hotel WiFi (with no useful indication of why in logs/dmesg) and I have to connect via my S3 and share the connection via USB.

They're matching the pricing of the Kickstarter -- pledging more got you early access, so they didn't want people to get the same early access for less just because the game is on Steam now. Once the game is actually ready, and n

For #1, I think the Mylyn plugin for Eclipse does something vaguely similar: "Task context management in Mylyn is based on the idea that your interaction with a system can be transformed into a degree-of-interest model, where each elem

Generally if you are suspected of comitting a sufficiently serious crime -- where the prison term would be 18 months and above -- you can be remanded if there's a suspicion you are going to interfere with the investigation or flee. The

This is standard procedure. The alleged criminal is remanded typically up to 4 weeks at a time, and optionally isolated. This can go on for a bit if the alleged criminal is expected to flee, destroy evidence and that type of thing. The head

They seem to be happy to let you pay $30 for the Alpha version though, despite it being in Alpha since at least 2009 (based on the date on the FAQ). I'm surprised PayPal will let you pre-order something that has been more than 4 years

I use timers, saving the results in memory and dumping them occasionally then aggregating. Each timer has a category name (like sql query, or one of the many higher-level tasks in the app) plus optional argument (so the actual SQL query, or

Well, it's supposedly the most influential person, and not necessarily an honor -- it's not the Nobel Peace prize. Hitler was it in 1938. Surprisingly Giuliani was chosen over OBL in 2001. Then we have Khomeini in 1979. Stalin won

The BIOS in old Sun machined used to run some kind of Forth interpreter which would run code from your expansion cards to initialize them (not sure if that was meant to make this cross-platform/cross-architecture). I vaguely recall try

Don't get fries. Don't get a drink with sugar added. Definitely don't get a milkshake or cookies. The burger itself is fine. You wouldn't go to Subway for a nice sandwich and drink a liter of Coke afterwards and a bag of
