You can also get at the menubar through the keyboard: alt-T W v which looks a little unwieldy, except you don't have to move from the home keys, and I find it much easier to type than hands up, look for fn, left middle to shift and left ind

No third party required. Avoid things like "Dearest Receiver, please view the transfer and customs documents at scam.ly/DEADBEEF to assist in transferring 3 gold bars from my late cousin's vault."

This seems like it could lead to (among other things) a non-third party scheme for link shortening.

"What every pilot should know" might be a better analogy. Pilots are more directly responsible for keeping their vehicle within safe conditions, and to do that they need to know more about their vehicles than car drivers. Programmers affect

Why not just use your email as the "me" part of the service?

"It might actually cause a political uprising." And the guns for the revolution would be sold, used, at garage sales.

Ha ha ha ha We have nukes, and short of that we'll suck our allies into any conflict we can. So unfortunately, our worthless politicians can affect your life too. Had your balls grabbed at an airport recently?

It's been years since I tried gentoo (and eventually decided it wasn't for me), so I had to look up USE flags. Great idea. I've never run Arch, my impressions are from what I've read. Coincidentally it was the python3 thing that helped me d

I think this is the recorded media industry using the scourge of fake drugs to rally the roused rabble behind the American occupation of New Zealand and New York.

Firefox makes the binary choice straightforward: accept the site's styling, or use no styling: "View/Page Style/No Style". I find myself going to no style much more frequently these days, as cool UIs become fashionable but are still hard to

Please say more about that. I'm trying to think how a blind user could effectively use a visual design program or its output. Do you output text representation of diagrams? Does a blind user put the product to some use and purpose that's di
