Ledger has been on my TBD list for a while. Been meaning to implement a project with it. Now may be a good time.

Descent was one of my favorites, though I didn't have any VR gear to play it on. Never got nauseous playing it, though I did with Castle Wolfenstein, Doom and Quake. Good times.

How about a widely held view so far: Possibly held captive by hijackers or terrorists? Not desirable, but better than certain death indicated by debris (if confirmed).

The download I have (from before the closing of Popcorn Time) still works. :) There is one suggestion I have for those developing the forks further: have an option for downloading through Popcorn Time. For those of us whose connections suck

Yeah, when 0 also didn't work, I took another look at it. Turns out I needed to call (add-hook 'server-visit-hook 'my-custom-function) with the call to scroll-bar-mode inside my custom function, because I'm working off a

-1, 1 and t have worked for me in setting most modes except that blasted scroll-bar-mode, which it turns out calls for a 0 - what the heck! Thanks for a super post.

mpd with ncmpc has brought my music very close to me - just a couple of keystrokes away. Regarding Winamp, I've always loved it's tagline "Winamp kicks the llama's ass" (or was it butt?).

I never read Starship Troopers (actually, never knew it existed) but always enjoyed it as a fun movie. I know, fun and dumb do overlap at certain points, and maybe that's why I liked it. I like one of the comments here describing it as

You make some excellent points, especially the one about banks and molasses. Scraping websites in general is subject to so much arbitrary change you tend to give up after a while. With reference to the rant about importing data directly int

When you do set up the project. please be sure to announce it here. If it is soon enough, an announcement on this sub-thread will also be good for me. I'll keep checking back. :)

There are some excellent books by Harry Lorayne that are still available. I got my fix in this department some 30+ years ago in high school. Great stuff.

I'm 5'10", and unfortunately some of it comes from a long long neck and a fine head. A well known coach once called it wasted height, as it doesn't help any in basketball. Things got a little worse with the fact that my

Using Emacs and Conkeror, with Herbstluftwm. Conkeror was what tipped everything for me: Having been used to gui apps for a long time, my continued use of gui browsers kept me in some kind of limbo. Learned just enough of Emacs to get thing

I put z and fasd through their paces, and out of the box z works very intuitively. I like it. fasd takes a little more to get used to, but I'm going to put it through a full try out. Let's see if the additional features make it wo

I suspect it must have something to do with my set up. My first suspicion was my nvidia drivers (304xx) but I recall not even being able to boot in console mode. I'll give it another shot later but for the moment vagrant's doing a
