   It's not very fair, I feel, to drag browser binary size into it. Those hundreds of megabytes give you a UI. If you have a QT or GTK app then the dependency you will drag in will not be small (and heaven forbid you depend on some Gnome

   I also use Awesome WM, which is ... awesome. :-) I think I see what you mean - is it the crazy flickering when you drag the newly created window around? I was able to get rid of that if I set the parent Chromium window status to "float

   Same here. A friend switched me to Debian in 2002 and I haven't looked back since. These days interacting with Windows (even 7 which is similar to what I remember) feels unpleasant. I use a tiling window manager and again I would never

   I once went through something similar years ago in London when I was looking for my very first IT job. Although I was already quite technical (already running Debian as my OS of choice, back when it was not as frendly as it is now) I had a

   I was also sorry to see Mozilla give up on Persona - I believe the web needs something like this. I happen to be quite good with Node / JavaScript and I will happily help out.

   You were lucky! ;-) I think ours was ~36sqm if I remember correctly (it's been a long time...). http://www.kvmeter.ru/information/homes_series/1_468/ (in Russian but there are pictures).

   At least in Firefox, clearing cookies (not an unreasonable thing for users to do once in a while) will also clear localStorage.

    Thanks for the link - it was long but very readable. Here is the summary of why the courts decided against the government: ---- a) [s1 of DRIPA] does not lay down clear and precise rules providing for access to and use of communications dat

    Firefox also has the very useful "Restore Previous Session" option under the "History" menu - perfect for when you close your browser by accident (in case of a crash Firefox reopens last tabs by default anyway). The tabs

    I haven't seen this before and it's awesome - thank you for sharing! :-) It's completely accurate, from my experience. One thing I could add though (not really related to creativity as such): when he talks about the time at t

    Thank you for sharing your understanding - personally I found this much more useful than the parent article. It is certainly true that discipline is required for accomplishing a task, but to focus on that alone, trying to make your "fe
