Range inputs are one of those things that seem obvious but in practice aren't that useful, in the grand scheme of things.

Can I suggest changing the CSS units for fonts from points to pixels? That way HN will look the same on both Chrome and Firefox for me :) On Chrome 10pt HN type is 12px on Firefox it's 13.3333px (Mac OS X).

It has a measure with ~10 words per line, which helps make reading easier.

If you're the UX designer who came up with the human hand, by all means, patent away.

If I were making changes to HN it would be to add a "Nuke From Orbit" button to posts.

"However much UX folks like to deny it, most products that users use again and again have a certain amount of complexity and a learning curve" Huh? Who denies this??

You are correct, so have an upvote. && in OS X seems to put the left side into history and works as I described, but it didn't work when I tried it in Ubuntu 10. $_ works in both.

I have tried both, the difference is only that !$ echos the expanded command, while $_ simply runs the expanded command; both create a directory and cd into it. (I'm running OS X, FWIW)

As an aside, I strongly dislike the term UX/User eXperience, it makes no sense to me. I could substitute 'UX' for 'design' above and all would be well in my world. I might say that the operators of the 3 Mile Island nuclear reactor where ha
