This is incredible. I was particularly happy when I noticed Chrome filepaths for Mac, Linux, and Windows - some of the more powerful Sublime plugins (looking at you, LiveReload and that really powerful Markdown plugin) were developed by M

(Mildly OT) Well, that's interesting. The link has been changed since it was posted - it originally pointed directly at the demo which began to fill your disk. Is this a mod thing, or can the original submitter do it? Either way, it was a g
