   I keep my ~/.bashrc in my Dropbox and symlink to it. You could do the same with ~/.bash_history.

   If I'm not mistaken, NaCl's integration with Chrome is actually implemented using Pepper. EDIT: I found something on this. "NaCl was integrated into Chrome 5 as an in-process Pepper plugin. The NaCl modules that it runs can utilize the Pepp

   I guess it's in Facebook's interest to get users to share without the fear of a future employer looking into it.

    There are some references in the Google+ app for Android to an unpublished app named "com.google.android.apps.oneup" that seems to be related to gaming. I'm really interested to see where Google is heading with their gaming strategy.

    Fedora? That would be pretty weird for a distribution mostly shipping with cutting-edge software. As far as I can see, they're shipping both 2.7.2 and 3.2.2: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=python.git

    That's certainly true for the code, but Github is more than just that. Think of the commit-comments, issues, pull requests, private messages and wiki pages. I guess you could create backups of most of these things with the API, but who does

    This looks great. Could you give some build/install instructions? 'build.sh' tries to cd to the non-existent "firebreath-1.6/build" directory.

    Back when I had a look at box.net, they provided a WebDAV interface to the storage, so it should be easily to integrate with most devices and configurations.

    There are a lot of end-users willing to test the builds and provide feedback to the developers. So there's definitely a benefit for both sides. And yes, there are builds for every handset. You can have a look at them at github[0]. [0] http

    This is why I think Chrome for Android is a big deal. The browser will always be one of the easiest ways run an exploit. With the browser tightly coupled with the OS, many old phones will never receive an update for it. The WebView as attac

    I have the same problem with Chrome on Ubuntu from time to time. Reloading the page usually fixes it. It's annoying, though.

    Isn't Eclim the other way around? I thought it would include features from Eclipse in Vim rather than bringing key Vim keybindings to Eclipse. There are several plugins for the latter though, like Vrapper[0] or ViPlugin[1]. There were also
