On proggit, we just found that even techical, internet savvy users can be suckered in by this. http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/bpy7h/think_you... 1 in 5 attempted to sign in. The results are hardly scientific, but the comment

Earlier this afternoon, MSNBC aired a 10 minute segment on the video. It seems unlikely this was intentionally censored. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31510813/#36182090

I posted this last week: http://m5.posterous.com/slime-like-communication-from-vim-to... It lets you open a vim session from ipython, and send lines, selections, or the whole file back to the shell. If you'd like to do some hacking, it do

I've been using zsh with my old 300 line bashrc for several months now. If you haven't already, try copying your .profile to .zshrc (just to see if it works); only your login shell reads your .profile.

Has anything like this been done for other site graphics? It would be great to be able to customize fg/bg colors of rounded border images or background gradients without firing up photoshop. It would be even nicer if it could scrape the col
