Just two nitpicks: You can sign email with GPG even if others aren’t using it (of course it will be of little value to them until they, possibly at a later date, verified your key), and it is supported on Android by K-9, I believe.

If it’s outside the EU, you would need permission to send the address there, and after PRISM, German data protection agencies decided to block all further requests based on the safe harbour agreements with the US.

But in the phone’s lockscreen, you are usually not bound by the 4-digit requirement of SIM card PINs, hence can use an arbitrary alphanumeric password (though likely rather short, as you have to enter it often on a small keyboard). 36^5 &gt

This would be really nice if it had more room for coins. But then I guess it wouldn’t be particularly slim anymore :\

What other applications are there on a system but Bash and Emacs? :P Besides, you can tell GTK to use Emacs-y keybindings rather than the ‘standard’ C-v, C-x, C-c.

An alternative would be to drop login requirements completely – Debian mailing lists work just fine, and on a large percentage of them, anybody can post without any password whatsoever. But email spamfiltering is likely more advanced than s

Must have been fun to implement 418 =) It could help to link to some explanation/section in the RFC from the front page error code. Apart from that, this is very nice and potentially useful, thank you very much.

.profile works nicer if you run another Shell, I presume, so can be added to every users home directory upon creation and not just to those of Bash users. What I don’t get is why RVM adds a .bash_profile, when there is, for example, &#x2F

While it is of course perfectly fine to hate read receipts, I don’t see how this is a problem created by read receipts. Before you had little green/yellow/red icons next to your emails and text messages, you were just as sure that

I have a slight problem with the ‘facts’ in the HN title, as it’s more of a conglomeration of speculation and make-believe, giving a decently-understood part of physics a near-mystic appearance. Apart from that, the first few lines are like
