There is likely some degree of humor in your message but I'm not sure. Why are you interested in lower power consumption? To save money on the electricity bill? Or for environmental reasons? You mention you bought more expensive CPUs t

MacOS Mail has the worst autocomplete feature I've ever seen when it comes to the "To:" field. When I have to manually type a new e-mail address, it always selects some other e-mail address. I've just tried again: return

This looks pretty much like advertisement. From the title, I was more expecting/hoping some economic considerations regarding the increase of the economic inequalities.

I do the same and share the same pain about the bookmarks manager. One thing that irks me is that Firefox saves my bookmarks in "bookmarks menu" when I use ctrl-d. Then I get a monstrous "Bookmarks" menu and I have to mo

FWIW you can rename tags in Firefox: from Show all bookmarks, unroll the Tags menu in the left pane, click the bookmark you want to rename, fix the name in the right lower pane. It can take some time to update. Many things can be done from

I still use my Nokia E6 despite its huge software flaws. Small form factor, hardware keyboard, nice specs : it was bound to be good. Alas, Nokia fucked up the software part and the Nokia Belle update made things even worse. And I can see no

Just tried the "EPOC emulator" which simulates a Psion 5mx. It must have been such a nice device. Many people still speak about the 5mx keyboard. The form factor looked awesome.

This thread seems somehow off topic, but it's a topic by itself… I would recommend against images. They feel helpful at first but they tend to mislead by infusing the idea that they have something to do into the meditation. Moreover, a

Somehow, I agree with you on the idea that Girard may consider himself a prophet. But, it must have been depressing for him since (as far as I understood him) he only reframed and repeated what he seemed to read everywhere in literature. As

You noticed that "things hidden since the creation of the world" is a quote from the Gospel, right? (Matthew, chapter 13, verse 35.) And that Girard's point is to show that the Gospel tries its best to uncover the scapegoatin

This book is very short, up and to the point. Provided you don't stop at the symbolic language that is only clarified a bit late into the book.

I hoped Nokia E6 would come close to the Palm Treo. The shape is about the same but slimmed down and without the antenna. And hardware is good. But the software is somehow disappointing (I expected more from a descendant of Psion). If I re

Probably not the right place for suggestions. However... Developer or not, I have long waited for the possibility to: 1. Store bookmarks in "unsorted bookmarks" by default when I use ctrl-D. This option lacking, my bookmarks menu

For Sony : I always regret buying from them pretty soon. Even if the device looks good on paper, you soon discover that obvious functionalities are arbitrarily disabled. For instance, I quite liked the specs of VAIO TZ31 and bought one. But

This reminds me of Alexander Grothendieck (Fields Medal 1966), who resigned from one of the most prestigious French maths positions (IHES) on ethical grounds. He now lives on reclusion (or the exact opposite of it), as far as is known. htt
