This is the reason we need journalism. Somebody posted something on an image posting website and all the comments on HN go one way. Why is it so easy to manipulate people these days? Is HN going the same way as twitter, FB, or other SOCI

> formatting errors Really? The whole point of using LaTeX is that there would be style files and you never would need to take the time to format anything.

If the ssh gateway OP mentions is just a ssh server, a ProxyCommand should be used, and the gateway should be transparent after that. Host rcpu-tun User YOURLOGIN IdentityFile ~/.ssh/YOURSECRET ProxyCommand

Can they just give me an actual PDF viewer for the sole purpose of PDF viewing? Is it really the way forward? Bundling everything into a web browser? It feels like a giant security hole.

So currently control, option, and command are three buttons. I'm wondering if it would be better with the left and right sides functioning differently. You could get many more chording combinations.
