It would be really nice to have a small and simple markup language, say some markdown standard, to be the layouting language for E-Mails. No (external) images, just links, lists, headings, basic formatting. HTML E-Mails are a security night

This is my Alma mater (I am not a medicine). But I wasn't able to find the actual scientific article. I could not even find a press release from Goethe university, Frankfurt.

Something which I don't understand about paid fonts is: If they are shown in the browser as webfont, I can download (potentially convert to OTF/TTF) and use them on the desktop without paying for 280€ for the desktop license. I

This short notation for differential operators is very common in physics since decades. Even better, for instance, while some folks in differential geometry (ie. General relativity, especially the astronomy community) dont write out the ope

Communication is really the key problem here. I am looking for joining startups, but anything I found (for instance on angelist) sounds super boring. This is probably because people don't advertise their ideas in fear of getting them s

This is great. DTA was one of the most useful browser plugins I ever had. Power users have wget, curl and thelike, but extracting cookies etc from the browser is cumbersome. DTA is just the right tool for many many download tasks.

I have similar issues with Plasma and definetly can say it is a graphics card/hardware problem which is intertwined with the graphics driver. Plasma is very heavy on graphics effects. You might want to change details (like having shado

Commenting the wordless proof: Read each n^3 as n times a square with size (edge length) n. This works perfectly for odd numbers, where the squares can be seen by naked eyes. For the even numbers, one (and only one) square has to be split i

First I thought "it's your own fault if you use shell scripting in the (unsafe) web". But the sudo example got me. That's exploitable on Linux systems. Modern Unix shells are so full of old weird features which are turne

Lucky you -- I frequently have to deal with routers given by the ISP which are basically non-configurable. Examples are the Vodafone Easybox 904x (just tried to put OpenWRT on this box last week and failed after several hours to get the W

Here's a thing: In Germany, Fritzbox Routers are quite popular (made by http://avm.de ). They have excellent software (with a feature set similar to OpenWRT, but more clean and concise). They support guest Wi-fi's out o

Probably most impact is buying some square meters of rainforest. There are many NGOs which organize such attempts. This is probably much more helpful then putting another tree in your backyard.

Something I noticed in web searching for programming questions is to align your problem to the problems of others. That is, generalize and change your question until it hits a common ground. Or try to search for more "lower level"

I wouldn't learn C++ for the templates. Except you want to learn stuff by getting your hands dirty. The same would be to learn C for trying out pointer arithmetic and shooting into your own foots ;-)
