I'm not sure he's trolling. For the sake of discussion, are the features you mentioned actually "hard technical work" or is it just work that can be done by anyone with some experience in that field? I'm not sure ho

The more I learn C++, the more I can't stand it. Its ever-increasing complexity keeps being a distraction from the actual problem you're trying to solve.

After years in the C++ swamp, programming Lua feels like being a world-class sprinter. Sure, there are places where it could be less verbose (the 'function' keyword, if-then-end), but overall it's liberating to have so much p

In my opinion it's easier to put Opera (12) on Windows than wget; also, it doubles as a torrent client. Older Opera versions (that still have this feature) had versions for a large number of OS-es.

A cross-platform solution would be using Opera 12's sidebar, going to links, selecting all 'view' links and downloading all at once. Or use Opera to download the torrent.
