So use a better terminal emulator. Rxvt-unicode allows you to pass mouse drags and scrolls directly to the terminal by holding down shift, and since it supports perl extensions, there are many ways to scroll back and yank from the terminal'

Linus repeats this line WRT distributed systems during his famous talk about git: "I have a theory about backups; I don't do them. I put stuff up on one site and everybody else mirrors it." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XpnKHJAok8#t=17

While I agree that installing programs as an unprivileged user is appropriate, installing programs as an unprivileged user to a global executable directory is misguided. `/usr/local/bin` is typically in root's PATH, so root will faithfully

I was intrigued by your comment and took a look at the rc feature list, but I couldn't see any features that aren't available in bash 3.1 and above. This takes nothing away from rc of course, which was around when bash was a simple re-imple

I think I'm lost on the joke; nobody wants to be the next overhyped (and polarizing) framework that is beloved by a large niche of programmers and launches a new segment of the industry? Care to clue me in? (being honest; maybe I missed som

Make sure you're prepared to lose your camera and get roughed up a bit if you decide to do this (which is admirable). In my experience, cops have no patience for people who assert their rights as citizens. Many police cars nowadays are fitt

Notable industry figures likely weigh more heavily in this regard, but tens of thousands of emails from constituents is something a Senator could _at least_ use as a talking point, if nothing else. Anyway, the EFF has a prefab letter to cus

You got it; they're duplicating screen features. The tradeoff of recreating it (incompletely) is that the configuration is much more straightforward. I have really handy screen macros that split screens, set hardstatus window titles, and se

I see. Well, I'm having a lot of fun with your app. Annexing other words by augmenting them almost makes it feel like a game of conquest. It would be fun if other people could steal "territory" from you by completing your words.
