As yet another counter point, I haven't had any problems with any site either. Actually, I think I haven't had any real problems with any site in Firefox since the IE6 days. Been using Firefox forever, since it was called Firebir

You're right in that the limitation isn't in the kernel or the file system, but it's not in the API either. Even the oldest functions in the Windows API can accept long filenames, up to 32,767 characters. This has been possi

FWIW I agree with you, personally I also prefer Winrar, and have used it for many years with zero issues. I like its ui better than 7zip's. But the 260 chars is the one edge case that happened to be important to me and so I decided to

It can extract files to paths of more than 260 characters, without any extra tools or registry hacks, on any version of windows (even xp). Winrar cannot. As a bonus, 7zip can also delete folders with file paths that are over 260 characters

There's also the Fxtec Pro phone [0], which doesn't look too bad from the spec and the reviews. If I were on the lookout for a new phone I'd seriously consider it. For some reason I never get along with screen keyboards, eve

I hear you. I was exactly the same. I still am, in a way, ironically I'm considered the local "git guru" at work, and I regularly save people when they're stuck. My main pain point is that all the tutorials etc seem ob

I'll second that, TortoiseGit has been a lifesaver, especially its git log display, which is very details and lots of actions can be done directly using it by right clicking on commits. I'm a visual person, with a horrible short t

FWIW, I've learned s-expressions and never particularly liked them either. I like their elegance, sure, but I found working with them to be cumbersome in practice.
