I think it would be fitting to have in a repository of algorithms; you don't? Maybe I didn't understand the purpose of the website from its frontpage. (Which is a failure, either mine or the frontpages.)

So basically the one person that knows the most about the subject at hand can not be trusted to edit wikipedia directly, but must go a longer roundabout way?

Yeah, I do the downvoting thing from time to time. [...] Anyway, I hate to "game" sites like StackOverflow, but there is no incentive not to. So why do you do it? Your "hate" doesn't overshadow the good feeling of getting a lot of point

My perspective is: I do not have Windows on any of my computers (yes, that was, of course, my choice.) So your solution doesn't work. My solution is to not upgrade the OS on my generation 1 iPod Touch and use gtkpod. Not very sustainable in

Building a mail system into a single-threaded text editor seems a bit silly to me... I have never encountered a system that could replace Gnus, though. What do you use to read nntp, email and rss in a coherent interface?

The idea is that spammers don't use real mail queues and thus, if you send a temporary error, genuine clients will requeue the message, whereas spammers will just drop it. Over time, this assertion has become false and now it's just anno

That being said, I think you are onto to something around the user experience. Perhaps an option shouldn't be shown to someone if they cannot perform it. That would be really annoying, because you wouldn't know that these options exist, u

I really like the simplicity and chosen featureset of Hatta - it is version control based (Mercurial) and works really well. The author is very responsive. http://hatta.sheep.art.pl/ "Snazzy" is quite subjective - I like the default desig

I was very uplifted by the Rauschenberg name-dropping. Until I saw the design. ;-) Naw, they will hopefully get better in the next couple of iterations.

I'm using curl to get the page, piping it into a simple one-off Perl-script that produces a comma-separated file, which in turn is read by a tiny R script, which then produces the graph.

The Gimp ( http://gimp.org/ ) can load _and_ save PSD-files with layers, so you could probably find most of the reverse engineering already done in the code there. While you are at it, why not just save the file in Gimp format and be done w

I've found the Subversion interface for Emacs (psvn - http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/?SvnStatusMode ) very useful for this kind of overview, inspection and "selective" commits.

darcs has a very nice interface, but it does not handle binary files (many/large) well.

I think you are not alone. But then again, there are also many people who look forward to get to use Perl6 for real. It has been underway for a long time, since 2000. Do notice though, that Perl6 isn't just a revision up for Perl5, it is a

I think the Danish oil production in the North Sea at least covers our own consumption, so the 0% probably isn't far off. Not that the oil in the North Sea will last, of course. Norway has larger oil-fields in the North Sea and export quite
